Rossellini Vents About Women & Aging; Pays Tribute to Father

Could Isabella Rossellini be any cooler? I don't think so.

I've always been quite impressed with her, and not just because she is beautiful in a non-traditional way, and not just because she was the face of Lancome for so many years--well past the age when many models rep cosmetic companies. There is just something about her: she just seems to have that thing so many of us want, but have no idea how to get. A calm elegance? Mysteriousness? I'm really not sure.

Anyway, I hadn't heard much about the fab 54-year-old in a while, but it sounds like she's been busy. She recently produced a 17-minute film tribute to her late father, Italian film director Roberto Rossellini, in celebration of his 100th birthday.

Check out this ABC News article, Isabella Rossellini: Age, Looks Used Against Women, for more information on her tribute, as well as her thoughts on women aging.

Putting Her Celebrity to Good Use

Kudos to Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher, who reveals in an upcoming Vanity Fair article that she was molested by a relative as a child. As difficult as it must have been to share information about the horrendous crime committed against her, speaking up is one way celebrities can help shed light on the horrors and reality of child molestation.
