The story of 53-year-old Rossi de Palma, an actress with a completely non-Hollywood appearance, is a story of self-sufficiency, self-respect and faith in herself and her own irresistibility, recognition of herself, her talents and merits, regardless of her appearance.
I recently watched the film Madame (2017) with Rossy de Palma in one of the main roles, the blogger writes. Zen.Yandex.
Before this picture, I - to my shame and ignorance - was not familiar with the actress. Wild interest prompted me to watch this film. It was incomprehensible to me - how such an ugly woman (excuse me, but such a definition came to my mind when I watched the trailer) could become not only an actress, but also get leading roles from eminent directors.
I guessed that the case probably lies in her charisma, chic, originality, uniqueness, talent. With these qualities, no one looks at the appearance, fascinated by the personal appeal and charm of the magnificent plain woman.
In the case of Rossi de Palma, everything was exactly that.
Rossy (Rossy de Palma) is a Spaniard, she was born in Palma de Mallorca on the Balearic Islands in the 1964 year (she is now 53 of the year).
The director Pedro Almodovar gave her a "ticket" to the world of the film business, who saw a girl back in 1986 in one of the Madrid cafes, where Rosa (or Rosa, they say that this is how her real name is pronounced) worked as a dancer and singer.
The master was so impressed by the energy and appearance of the young Spanish woman (in one of the articles I met the definition of “informal appearance in the aesthetics of cubism”) that he immediately invited her to star in the film “The Law of Desire”. Since then, he considered Rossy de Palma to be his talisman and muse for many years.
After the film “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown,” critics realized that this actress is not a one-day or a star of one role, but a real phenomenon that must be reckoned with. The triumphant march through the screens and hearts of the audience continued with the films with her participation "Four-wheel drive" by Alena Berberian and the picture with the extravagant - like the actress herself - title "Your hands on my ass".
Rossi can be called an actress who “enters” the film and makes it unique, unrepeatable, memorable. Even if she plays supporting roles. The picture immediately comes to life, becomes voluminous and textured. The presence of Rossi in the frame simply does not leave the film a chance to go unnoticed.
Do you think Rossi de Palma triumphantly walked only along the red cinema ceremonies? Not at all.
Having played in the film “Haute Couture” by Robert Altman, the actress set off to conquer the fashion world.
“... Rossi, to the delight and astonishment of many, moved from the rank of strange film stars to the muses of great fashion designers,” wrote about this “offensive” in one of the magazines.
In 90-s, she had a stunning success in the modeling business, capturing the imagination of the shocking master Jean-Paul Gautier, Thierry Mugler and other high-fashion masters.
Rossy de Palma not only acts in films and conquers fashion catwalks. She is also the author of her own line of exclusive lingerie and perfume "Eau de Protection", the advertising campaign of which, of course, is as original as the creator of the fragrance.
Now Rossi de Palma continues acting film career, and also collaborates with fashion brands and manufacturers.
For example, the American cosmetics brand MAC in 2017 presented the bright author’s range of decorative cosmetics Rossy de Palma.
Rossi de Palma was one of four actresses who presented the autumn-winter collection of Violeta by MANGO.
Spoiler: In this video, the actress takes off her trousers under the slogan “You need to be bolder in life, otherwise you will be left alone with your desires.” This is a very inspiring video, I highly recommend watching it.
I like the story of Rossi de Palma. I think this is not even a story about accepting yourself. Of course, I did not thoroughly study the biography of the actress to assert that she had never been visited by doubts about her own appearance.
But what I see now allows me to think that Rossy de Palma is a story of complete self-sufficiency, self-respect and faith in oneself and one's own irresistibility, recognition of oneself, one's talents and merits, regardless of appearance.
“Beauty is present in absolutely everything,” says the charismatic Spanish woman. Looking at this gorgeous woman, you understand that beauty is not what your eyes see. This is what your heart feels.
