Isabella Rossellini is celebrating her first Oscar nomination after working for over four decades. She received the Oscar nomination on Thursday for her supporting role as a Vatican nun in Conclave. Rossellini is the daughter of actress Ingrid Bergman and filmmaker Roberto Rossellini.

Nearly four decades after David Lynch's 'Blue Velvet' made her a star, the Italian grand dame is finally getting her due from the Academy.

Rossellini, 72, has shared her passion for acting on her home turf and has been a longtime patron of the arts on Long Island. She has been a frequent presence at The Gateway in Bellport where she performed her original science-themed works "Link Link Circus" in 2019 and "Darwin's Smile" in 2022 to benefit the theater.
