This distinctive actress, dancer and model is proud of the epithet "ugly beauty". Probably because this is what attracts attention to her.
The real name of the actress is Rosa Elena Garcia Echave, and she took her pseudonym in honor of the city of Palma de Mallorca, where she was born in 1964.
Rosa Echave grew up in a simple working-class family, and since childhood she was not known as a beauty, causing sympathetic glances from her neighbors because of her huge nose, bulging eyes and an unpleasant smile. But the girl did not seem to pay attention to it and lived for her own pleasure.
A persistent character was useful to her in the future: she not only did not get upset because of her appearance - on the contrary, she went to a dance school and to take vocals. She worked as a waitress in clubs, sometimes sang there.
All these skills came in handy when she and her friends created the musical group "It Can't Be Worse" - Rossi was one of the soloists there. In the mid-80s, she had to work as a waitress in a small eatery in Madrid, where the famous filmmaker Almodovar accidentally wandered. He was struck by her non-standard appearance, and immediately offered her the role of a die-hard TV reporter in the film "The Law of Desire." Since then, she has become his mascot and favorite actress.
Career as an actress
After that there was the film "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown", and after this picture, everyone started talking about the "terribly beautiful" actress.
Rossi is truly a wonderful actress: deep and subtle. It is impossible to forget one scene from the film, where she, along with Banderas's hero, enters the apartment to ask uncomfortable questions, and then faints. This film brought her a hundredfold increase in fame, according to the actress herself.
Then she gets a role in the film "Four-wheel drive" (2002), and in 2003 - blows up screens in the tape "Your hands on my ass."
Palma is not only a bright actress, she is also a favorite model of Jean-Paul Gaultier, who is also not averse to shock the audience with his ideas. And after him, Rossi began to invite other fashion designers, and in the early 90s her career in the modeling business could be safely called a triumphant one. Her non-standard appearance caused a lot of controversy, there was also rejection, but the designers did not want to give up Rossi, she remained on the catwalk "the most ugly beauty".
In addition to the catwalk, the actress has other activities: she starred on French and Spanish television, in auteur films. And in 2008 Rossy de Palma distinguished herself again: she released her perfume "Eau de Protection", which can be bought in the Paris boutique Etat Libre d´Orange. The bouquet of the perfume contains rose, jasmine, as well as black pepper, cocoa and patchouli. They say this combination is so similar to de Palma.
Another occupation of the famous actress and model is the creation of a collection of women's underwear together with the Spanish brand Andres Sarda, which she also did - the show of the collection took place in Paris and was a success.
Personal life
Apparently, the motto of Rossi de Palma is shocking in everything. Or just such a character. However, in her personal life, everything is also not easy: Rossi has two sons, but she does not know who they are from, and she does not care.
She lived with the actor Santiago Lahustisia for 8 years, but something went wrong in their relationship. And now, next to Rossi, the mysterious Cuban, whose name is Ota, nothing more is known about him.
