Underwritten by Goldman Sachs & Co and Reed, Longyear, Malnati & Ahrens, PLLC

Whether you know her as the daughter of actress Ingrid Bergman and director Roberto Rossellini, the face of Lancôme cosmetics, the nightclub singer in Blue Velvet or Alec Baldwin's ex-wife on 30 Rock, you know Isabella Rossellini excels at whatever role she sets herself to-no matter how bizarre. Take for example her latest endeavor, Green Porno, a series of short films she has written/directed/starred in, which use hand-made paper sets and costumes to elucidate the quirky reproductive habits of insects and marine animals. She'll discuss the series, her family, and her career at Benaroya Hall.

Tickets are available through Seattle Arts & Lectures' website, www.lectures.org/rossellini.html, and by phone at 206.621.2230.

Student\Under 25: $10 with ID, balcony: $25, main floor: $35
