Throughout her career as an actress, model, business woman and writer, Miss Rossellini has always taken time to contribute to those causes in which she most believes. A board member of the Wildlife Conservation Network, Isabella Rossellini devotes her time and efforts to ensuring that animals and their natural habitats are protected so that they can continue to grow and thrive.
She is also the president and director of the Howard Gilman Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to the preservation of endangered animals, supporting the arts and humanities, and funding research in the battles against HIV and heart disease. Also interested in historic preservation, Isabella Rossellini has campaigned to protect historic structures in her part-time home of Bellport, Rhode Island, as well as the conservation of New York’s historic Central Park.
In addition, Miss Rossellini is a former trustee of the George Eastman House—the world’s oldest photography museum, and has worked to ensure the preservation of classic Hollywood films. Among her other interests are providing funding and support for the training of guide dogs for the blind, and assisting children in need through her work as a National Ambassador for UNICEF.
As one of the most glamorous women in the world, Miss Rossellini has proven that real beauty comes from the heart. For this reason, Isabella Rossellini is our “Humanitarian of the Week.”
