Favorite Actor Monday


I'm a fan of her mother (Ingrid Bergman), I'm a huge fan of her father (Roberto Rossellini), and I like her, too. Isabella Rossellini, you have what it takes to be a Favorite Actor Monday. It was ridiculous when the media talked about how "brave" Nicole Kidman was for putting on a fake nose in "The Hours." If you want to see a brave performance, watch Rossellini in "Blue Velvet." (Not to slam Nicole Kidman. She was pretty great in "Dogville.")
