She was married twice but only for 3 years each time. She posed for Madonna's sex book in 1992 and was kissing Madonna in her Erotica video that same year. She now looks like an old butchy-type lesbian. Who is she dating? Has she ever dated/slept with women?
Any lesbian rumours about Isabella Rossellini?

Ohhh, the naughty lesbian fantasies my 13 year old self had watching Isabella Rossellini in Death Becomes Her in a Miami theatre in 1992. I'd get on my knees for a woman like that and scrub all the floors of that huge mansion. Then I'd bathe her and then let her do anything she wants to me.

Years ago, I saw her in the West Village getting coffee, she trains service dogs so I guess that implies that she's a lesbian. Or does it infur?

I quite like you, R5. I had that movie for years on DVD I think it was just for her. Oh my goodness!
I highly respect how she went back to school to learn more of animal behavior. Her reasoning behind that is pragmatic but it also shows an innate intellectual curiosity.
She's sadly more than likely not family. That's just a feeling I get. She moves like someone who is one for gentlemen. All flowy and elegant. Her walk is very straight as well. She's obviously not homophobic at all and I'd safely assume that she knows of my fellow Lesbians who like her.

R16, are you judging her based on her character Lisle in Death Becomes Her? Because if you are, Isabella is not like that in real life. She did say in an interview that everything about this character from the way she speaks to the way she walks and sits is all fictional. When she guest-starred on Friends, she walked a bit like a tomboy. I don't know how she walks in real life and I can't tell by a woman's walk if she likes dick or not.

I think Isabella has been spending too much time with her chickens. She doesn't make much sense these days. She said she wanted her body double in Death Becomes Her to look like a barbie because she doesn't look that way. Well Isabella, the purpose of a body double is that the person looks like you. She also said she didn't want to do nude pictures for Madonna's sex book because she was criticized about her nude scene in Blue Velvet. But she IS nude in many pictures in the sex book. She's even swimming naked with Madonna... who is also naked. Now she says in this interview that Madonna was sort of bragging about her bisexuality with the sex book lol. That's what happens when you spend too much time with animals and not enough with humans. You turn weird.

Not for nude or revealing scenes. And the character of Lisle wears a very revealing costume.
The double was Catherine Bell, noted for her remarkable figure. You primarily see her from the back, getting out of the pool. It was the right choice to use a double, because when I saw Rossellini at a film festival once, her ass was completely flat. Alarmingly so.

Decades ago There was an article about Rossellini’s lift in Architectural Digest (?) where she set out with a decorator to use only “found objects”. They scavenged demolished buildings, dumpsters etc. Maybe this was the beginning of her Green Period.

Isabella is a decent human being by most accounts and, given her highly public profile, I believe she's a genuinely good person.
If she is a lesbian, she's been very discreet about that aspect of her life.
She does have a striking appearance, but with a harsher edge as she aged. She looks great at this stage of her life.
It was interesting to see her place in the zeitgeist of the 1990s, but the one aspect of this that makes me cringe to this day is how smarmy, nasty David Letterman used to slobber and gush on and on about her on his show. It was sickening to watch... almost as bad as when he groveled to Oprah when she came on his show.
Sorry, for going off topic. Back to Isabella.

R64 the humiliation of Isabella's character are based on a disturbing childhood experience of Lynch. I looked up this story just now to find it and I'm quoting from a reddit post here:
"According to his telling, he was playing outside when he was little, probably less than 10 years old, when he sensed that something off with that day. His father was late (or early, I can't remember) from work and some disturbance he was feeling. And then he saw the white woman, completely naked, walking on the street. In documentary, he doesn't tell what was that about, who was she or what happened. Furthermore, he says he can't tell about it anymore and he indicates that it was awful."

Also since she has a bad back, she can't wear high heels. But that doesn't explain the short, boyish haircut hair. That vast majority of women I have met in my life who like menswear are queer (gay, bi, trans etc.) Famous bisexual Marlene Dietrich like to wear men's clothes.
