This brunette beauty has quite the family background that spans decades in Hollywood.
The actress’s mother recently received an Academy Award nomination for her performance in a significant film. Even though she did not win the award, the nomination has brought her back into the public eye.
This mystery woman was with her mother at the Oscar ceremony and can be seen heading to the big event with her siblings in a new Instagram photo.
The girl’s father has also worked in Hollywood. He was a crew member on the film Kalifornia, which starred Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis.
Her grandmother is the most famous of them all: she was one of the beauties in the Humphrey Bogart WWII movie Casablanca.
Even her brother is famous as his good looks have landed him modeling jobs for Bulgari and Dolce & Gabbana.
Who is she?
This young woman comes from an impressive family background: her mother was just recognized by the Oscars, her father collaborated with Brad Pitt, her grandmother appeared in Casablanca, and even her brother is a well-known figure in the industry. Can you guess who she is?
She is Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann, 41.
Her mother is model-turned-actress Isabella Rossellini who was just in Conclave with Ralph Fiennes.
Her father, Jonathan Wiedemann, has a background in production design for various films. Apart from contributing to movies like Kalifornia, he also worked on projects such as Candyman and Girl’s Club. He was previously married to Isabella from 1983 to 1986.
Her grandmother was Ingrid Bergman, a Swedish actress who appeared as Ilsa Lund in Casablanca and Alicia Huberman in Notorious.
She also starred in Spellbound, Anastasia, and Gaslight, for which she won her first Academy Award.
And her brother is Roberto Rossellini, a fashion model. Blue Velvet actress Isabella adopted Roberto in 1993 when she was engaged to English actor Gary Oldman.
Roberto is married to filmmaker Kai Marie.

And the cover girl has also had some very famous romances.

The star also dated director David Lynch (1986–1991) and was engaged to actor Gary Oldman (1994–1996).
Isabella’s parents are even more famous than she is: her mother is the late Hollywood Golden Age icon Ingrid Bergman and her father is the late film director Roberto Rossellini (two of his biggest films are Stromboli and Paisan).
Ingrid was born in Sweden and took Hollywood by storm with her great looks and screen charisma.
Her most famous movie is 1942’s epic romance Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart set during WWII. It is considered one of the best movies of all time.
But she also showed up in the thrilling 1946 spy movie Notorious with Cary Grant and 1944’s noir mystery Gaslight with Charles Boyer.

In 2017 Roberto talked about becoming a model to Coveteur.
‘I thought modeling was something I could maybe do at some point, but I never thought it would be the thing I’m doing now,’ said the star.
‘It started with me randomly getting scouted in New York City by a photographer, and she wanted me to model for L’Officiel Italia. It was funny because right after I was done shooting, my mom came up to me and was like, “Well, you just got scouted randomly. Why don’t you just go ahead and actually model?”
‘I got in touch with Ford and ended up getting signed a week later. I started working in June. It’s fun—I’m really enjoying it.’
His mom Isabella thought modeling would be a good way for him to network and learn more about the fashion industry and photography as well.

‘It feels like I’m learning a little bit about everything—clothing, photography, how to be in front of a camera and behind it,’ he offered.
As far as coming from an acting dynasty, he does not want to use Isabella’s and Ingrid’s names to get by: ‘Personally, I don’t want people to just see me as a celebrity kid. I understand it’s cool and a blessing—I love my mom for who she is and all that—but I feel like it has a lot to do with my own personality and what I do,’ said Roberto.
‘I’m trying to make a mark for myself. I’m just a regular guy who is creative, an artist and now a model. It’s just another thing to throw onto the plate.’
And he wants to use modeling as a platform for people to understand who he is.
‘More than just a celebrity kid, more than just Isabella Rossellini’s son,’ he shared. ‘I want people to understand that I’m Roberto, and I’m actually a cool person. It’s interesting that I’m labeled like that, but at the same time, I step away from that as much as I can.’
