This distinctive actress, dancer and model is proud of the epithet "ugly beauty". Probably because this is what attracts attention to it.
The real name of the actress is Rosa Elena Garcia Echava, and she took her pseudonym in honor of the city of Palma de Mallorca, in which she was born in 1964.
Rosa Echave grew up in a simple working-class family, and from childhood she was not known for beauty, evoking the sympathetic looks of her neighbors because of her huge nose, bulging eyes and an unpleasant smile. But the girl, it seemed, did not pay attention to it and lived for her pleasure.
Her persistent character came in handy in the future: she not only was not upset because of her appearance - on the contrary, she went to a dance school and to vocals. She worked part time as a waitress in clubs, sometimes she sang there.
All these skills came in handy when she and her friends created the musical group “It Happens 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 film director Almodovar accidentally wandered. He was struck by her non-standard appearance, and immediately offered her the role of a stubborn television reporter in the film "The Law of Desire." Since then, she has become his mascot and beloved actress.
Actress career
After that there was the film "Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown, " and after this picture about everyone, they started talking about the "terribly beautiful" actress.
Rossi is really a wonderful actress: deep and thin. It is impossible to forget one scene from the film, where she, together with the hero of Banderas, comes into 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 "All-Wheel Drive" (2002), and in 2003 - it explodes the screens in the film "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 shocking the audience with his ideas. And after him, Rossi began to be invited by other fashion designers, and in the early 90s her career in the modeling business could be safely called triumphant. Her non-standard appearance caused a lot of controversy, there was rejection, but the fashion designers did not want to give up Russia, she remained on the podium "the most ugly beauty."
In addition to the catwalk, the actress has other activities: she starred in French and Spanish television, in the author's movie. And in 2008, Rossi de Palma excelled again: she released her own Eau de Protection perfume, which can be bought at the Etat Libre d'Orange boutique in Paris. The perfume bouquet includes rose, jasmine, as well as black pepper, cocoa and patchouli. They say this combination is so similar to de Palma.
Another lesson 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 collection was shown in Paris and was a success.
