While "Friends" audiences might think of the 1996 episode on which Isabella Rossellini guest-starred as, well, "The One With Isabella Rossellini," the movie star initially worried they wouldn't even recognize her.
"I was surprised because at the time — maybe still today, but maybe to less extent at the time — there weren't many foreign actors that were recognized in America," the Italian actress told Entertainment Weekly in a recent interview about her latest movie, Conclave.
"And so I was very surprised that Friends invited me, not only as a guest but as a star. They recognize me and they know my name. So I was very... I said, 'Really? Am I that known that I can play myself as a known person?' So that was really great and it was a delight to work with them."
