Leonard Lopate, interviews
After early forays into comedy and television reporting, roles in dozens of movies, television, and stage productions, an illustrious international modeling career, developing her own brand of cosmetics, writing and philanthropy, and training Labrador puppies for the blind, Isabella Rossellini turned her eye to film making with her mischievous and witty film, My Dad is 100 Years Old. When Robert Redford's Sundance Institute commissioned Ms. Rossellini to make a series of short films to address the issues of the environment, she titled her work Green Porno and chose the mating habits of bugs for her first series and sea creatures for her second, both of which have been celebrated in film festivals here and abroad. Tonight she'll discuss her extraordinary career, her ongoing Sundance and Discovery Channel work, her upcoming movie roles, and her book Green Porno with Leonard Lopate, host of WNYC's Leonard Lopate Show.
