The Gateway continues its virtual web series "SESSIONS WITH THE STARS" next week with Isabella Rossellini on Wednesday, April 22 at 4pm EDT at Facebook.com/TheGatewayPACSC/.

Ms. Rossellini grew up in Paris and Rome and now resides in the quaint Village of Bellport, which The Gateway also calls home.

She has worked with a wide range of directors including Robert Zemeckis, David O. Russell, David Lynch, Robert Wilson, Taylor Hackford, Marjane Satrapi, and Guy Maddin. She is also a successful television actress and filmmaker, who has a keen interest in animals and wildlife conservation. Her award-winning series of shorts, Green Porno, Seduce Me, and Mammas offer both comical and scientifically insightful studies of animal behavior. Ms. Rossellini has a Master's degree in Animal Behavior and Conservation at Hunter College in New York City and has received a PhD Honoris Causa from the Science Faculty at UQAM (University of Quebec at Montreal). Ms. Rossellini's most recent work for television includes Master of Photography, for European broadcaster SKY, and the American series Shut Eye, for Hulu, released in December 2016.
