Isabella Rossellini studying her lines for Blue Velvet by Eve Arnold, 1985
David Lynch was introduced to Isabella Rossellini at a restaurant by a mutual friend when he was in the process of casting Blue Velvet (1986). Struck by her serene European beauty, he told her, “You could be Ingrid Bergman’s daughter.” ‘You idiot,’ my friend said to me,” Lynch recalled, “‘she is Ingrid Bergman’s daughter!’”.
I love that photograph of them so much. Wish I could stomach watching Blue Velvet, about 10 minutes in I had to turn it off.
