Correctioni




While having lunch with his sister Maggie one day at the Wild Lily Tea Room, Jake Gyllenhaal was amazed to see a particularly beautiful woman come through the door of the restaurant. He mouthed something to his sister. When she had trouble understanding what he was saying, Gyllenhaal produced a pen and scribbled a note: "Isabella Rosilini."
"No," Maggie said, examining the woman.
"Yeah," Jake said.
"No," Maggie repeated.
"Yeah," Jake said.
"Really?" Maggie said and took her brother's pen to correct his spelling, changing "Rosilini" to "Rosolini."
The correct spelling? Rossellini.
