I wanted to be dressed by all Italian designers because I am Italian!

Ingrid Bergman at the 1975 Oscars where she took home the award forMurder on the Orient Express.Her daughter, Isabella Rossellini, wore the same earrings to the 2025 Oscars.

They lent me exquisite jewelry but I added the earrings that my father bought my mother.

It has been an especially emotional awards season for the actor.

As Ive gotten older, this doesnt happen as frequently and I miss it especially today.

I wish my parents were alive to celebrate with me this great honor.

And also today with this joy in my mind cant help lingering in the beyond to David Lynch.
