Rossy de Palma, (born Rosa Elena García Echave in Palma de Mallorca on 16 September 1964) is a Spanish actress. Described by many as a Picasso come-to-life, Rossy de Palma broke the rules of beauty in 1988 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
Originally a singer and dancer for the band Peor Imposible, she was discovered by filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar at a café in Madrid in 1986. He cast her in roles based on her unique, Picassoesque appearance.
She also acts in France and does modeling; she has appeared in Sam suffit, Hors jeu, Le Boulet (2002) and Laisse tes mains sur mes hanches. In the United States, she acted in Robert Altman's Prêt-à-Porter as Pilar.
She currently lives in France with her two sons.
