Why charisma is more important than good looks, according to the example of actress Rosie de Palma

“La Picassa”, “the ugly beauty of Almodovar”, “the revived picture of Picasso” – as soon as they did not call the original Spanish actress. Against all odds, Rossi De Palma did not reshape herself to generally accepted standards, which does not prevent her from remaining one of the brightest stars of European cinema.



The success story of Rossi De Palma is a story of self-sufficiency and belief in one’s own irresistibility. Talent, charisma, charm and individuality are much more important than fleeting external beauty.

Rossi De Palma Rosa Helena Garcia Echave was born in the Spanish city of Palma de Mallorca in the Balearic Islands in 1964. Since childhood, the ambiguous appearance of the girl became the subject of endless ridicule. She even had to leave school and get a job as a waitress.

However, Rosa Helena’s creative nature was looking for a way out and found him in the punk band Peor Imposible. During one of the performances, the girl was noticed by Pedro Almodovar.



The cult director was amazed by the appearance and energy of the young Spaniard. He promptly offered her a cameo role in his new film, The Law of Desire. Then followed the picture “Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown”, after which Rose suddenly woke up famous.



To finally complete the transformation from “ugly duckling” to a movie star, the actress took the pseudonym Rossi de Palma in honor of her hometown. Successful roles made the girl famous, but her appearance continued to be attacked.



Some colleagues on the stage strongly advised Rossi to have plastic surgery, to which she replied that she did not doubt her beauty.

After the film “High Fashion”, where the partners of the aspiring actress were Sophia Loren and Julia Roberts, Rossi “moved from the rank of strange movie stars to the muses of great fashion designers.” The outrageous Spaniard became a favorite model of designers such as Jean-Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler and Sybil.

Rossi herself considers herself animated painting by Picasso, and all people without exception – living works of art made of flesh and blood.



The personal life of the actress is covered with a veil of secrecy. It is known that she was in a relationship with the actor and model Santiago LaJustisia. Now she is raising two children: her son Gabriel and daughter Luna.

Who their father is, for sure, unknown, but, according to the mother, they are artistic and connect their future with the world of cinema.



What is the secret of the attractiveness of a beauty with a completely “non-Hollywood” appearance? And why is she considered his muse genius Gauthier and Almodovar? Perhaps the answer lies in the short phrase of the actress: “The elusive beauty is present in absolutely everything, only you need to feel it not with your eyes, but with your heart.”
