Isabella Rossellini on why she never had plastic surgery: “The idea to select to do an operation, that trauma, that was the last thing I wanted to do. I rather be old & figure out what else to do… Partially I think it’s cultural. My mom didn’t have any & so I didn’t think it was important to do it.”

    She’s got such a unique outlook on life and art. Her “Green Porno” and “Mammas” short film series are so fun and shocking and gleefully ridiculous.

  2. I mean, if I spent my life looking like Isabella Rossellini, I wouldn’t ever be tempted to go under the knife either.

  3. She’s used that face for so much humor and gravitas in her later roles, it’s so fun to see someone that age with a full range of expression. Absolutely showstopper in “Convent” last year.

  4. People need to understand this way of thinking more. Im a surgeon, general surgery and trauma. I would never go under the knife for a major cosmetic surgery, ever. Even with the odds of things going wrong so low, the possibility of a complication on something purely cosmetic and unneccessary just petrifies me. I’ve seen people’s lives irreversibly changed by a complication from a procedure they never needed. It doesn’t matter if it’s one in a million if you’re the one.

  5. Honestly so fair. I know I’d be terrified to go under the knife or get unnecessary needles since it’s already so unpleasant when needed medically. Totally get why people do it though, I’m honestly just surprised there aren’t more people taking about the actual process! Especially with things like face lifts. Terrifying to think about but one woman’s nightmare is another’s dream!

  6. I bet Ross still has her on his list

    Edit- oh wait! He took her off because she’s too international 😂

  7. I feel this. My thamu (grandma) was beautiful in her old age.I thought her jowls were so cute, and her eyes always had a mischievous glimmer to them. I get why some people fear jowls, but if I end up looking anything like her in my old age, I will be delighted

    I mean *a lot* of people getting plastic surgery didn’t have parents who got plastic surgery. The Kardashian clan is one of a kind in that regard, but a lot of these celebs either have parents born in the same generation as her mom, OR are first gen actors or celebs themselves who came from working class people. So idk, I really don’t think this is a cultural thing like she’s making it out tbh, and if I’m perfectly honest I think that’s good. Like just own it through and through Isabella, you didn’t get that shit cuz you didn’t want to. Period.

    She’s obviously gorgeous on film and in photos but I saw her in person last year and she is mind blowingly, maddeningly, sickeningly gorgeous. The kind of beauty you can’t even comprehend.
