Rossy de Palma, (born Rosa Elena García Echave in Palma de Mallorca, September 16, 1964) is a Spanish actress. Described by many as a Picasso come-to-life, Rossy de Palma broke the rules of beauty two decades ago when she starred in Pedro Almodóvar’s Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, and became a model and muse for designers like Jean-Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler, and Sybilla. Her status as an iconic fashion character was further cemented with her role in Robert Altman’s 1994 satirical fashion film Prêt-à-Porter. Today, she is a theater actress, charity spokesperson, and the face of luxury ad campaigns, and remains, as always, a charismatic personality with an insatiable lust for life.
