 'Some of Me' is a tantalizing glimpse of Isabella Rossellini
Although for much of her life Rossellini was best known as the daughter of the three-time Oscar-winning actress and the neorealist director Roberto Rossellini, and though she spent 14 years as Lancome's multimillion-dollar ideal of beauty, she perpetually defies curiosity and scrutiny.
Rossellini writes about the talismanic stones she keeps around her sink, the embalming wax she once used to disguise her chipped front tooth in photographs, the bizarre ''chicken kit'' Lynch made for her and the thickness of her Lancome contract.
Rossellini says she undertook ''Some of Me'' because ''every year somebody would come to me with an idea for a book, whether it was about fashion, or occasionally I've been asked to do a book about my parents.

 The Many Faces of Isabella
When Isabella talks about her family there is great pride and also an air of resolution, for it was a childhood clearly filled with its own trials and tribulations -of the ordinary and extraordinary kind.
Isabella's advertising campaigns for the French cosmetic giant Lancôme were a tremendous success for over a decade, and profits for Lancôme certainly increased significantly under her reign as the face of Lancôme.
Isabella refused to resign and the company terminated her contract, but they obviously underestimated their clientele, since much of the public, which was outraged that Rossellini had been fired, in turn terminated their loyalty to the Lancôme brand.
