Elettra (Isabella Rossellini's Daughter & Ingrid Bergman's Grandkid) Reveals All in Page Six Magazine

In this week’s Page Six Magazine – the granddaughter of Ingrid Bergman and daughter of Isabella Rossellini, Elettra Wiedemann is a product of Hollywood royalty.  She’s also a model pursuing a master’s degree in biomedicine.  

On her famous family, including her grandmother, Casablanca star Ingrid Bergman, and mother, Isabella Rossellini:
“Because my family has been in the public eye, people think they have a bigger influence on who I am. Everyone thinks I watch my grandparents’ movies.  I’ve only seen, like, one of them.  They’re figments of legend for me too.  I’m more a product of the people I was raised around.”
 
On not living a typical Hollywood lifestyle:
“I’m not much of a goer-outer because I get really fat really fast when I drink.  If I could be an alcoholic, I probably would be, but I just can’t.”
 
On her teenage years:
“I had a back brace [for scoliosis] but this kid in my class [at the United Nations high school] had been a child solider in Sierra Leone, so I felt lucky.  Plus, I was taught never to dwell on it.  The feeling was, if you’ve got your arms and your legs and your health, then you can figure everything else out.”
 
On meeting her boyfriend, James Marshall, at a charity dinner for Mikhail Gorbachev:
“It was very star-studded and crazy.  I was sitting behind Elton John and felt totally overwhelmed, so I drank vodka.  [James was] the only other ‘normal’ person at my table.  [I forgot about him, until one day in New York] I took the wrong subway, which I never do.  I crossed the platform at Wall Street and the subway doors opened and there was James.  I was like, ‘OK, we need to get married now.”
 
On her relationship with her mother, Isabella Rossellini:
“She doesn’t ever say, ‘I’m proud of you.’ We don’t have heart-to-hearts.  I go over to her house and she cooks for me, like any other mama.  But, you know, I’m not a drug addict.  I’m not a total eff-up.  She must be happy for that.”
