This Actress with Unusual Eyes Was a Famous Director’s Muse — She’s Now a Mom of a Lovely Daughter

• Veteran star Rossy de Palma has been criticized for her looks.
• However, a director regards her as his muse.
• She has spoken frankly about beauty and makeup and does not care whether people think she is beautiful or not. Notably, the star has a gorgeous daughter.

This public figure was previously dismissed for her looks, but a director saw something special about her distinctive physical features and made her a star as he has worked with her several times.

The celebrity is none other than Rossy de Palma, who was discovered in 1986 by Spanish film director Pedro Almodóvar at a café in Madrid.

The Spanish actress has appeared several times in Almodóvar's movies, including "Law of Desire" (1987) and "Women on the Verge of Nervous Breakdown" (1988).

At the beginning of her acting career, de Palma was famously dismissed as "ugly and strange" by her home country's leading newspaper. She has asymmetrical eyes and a long nose. The model's left eye is green, and her right eye is much brighter and rounder.

Twenty years after becoming a household name for being Almodóvar's muse, she starred in his 2016 drama film "Julieta," as Marian. A year later, she appeared in an ad for MAC Cosmetics in October 2017.

De Palma on Makeup, Aging & Beauty

When asked whether she has an ambivalent relationship with makeup in a November 2017 interview, de Palma said no, adding, "I love makeup!"

She started experimenting with makeup from a young age as she used to smell her mom's lipsticks. As a teenager, de Palma and her friends enjoyed "playing with different makeup colors and creating risky looks," she explained.

When de Palma was about to turn 52 in September 2016, she spoke frankly about growing old in an interview a month before. After the interviewer mentioned how old she would be turning, the star said:

"I feel 25 inside. And who cares, anyway? I am healthy, so I have gratitude for that because that is the most important thing."

As for her appearance, de Palma also had made an expressional statement during a May 1994 interview. Then 29 years old, the brunette beauty said:

"Perhaps I'm very pretty to some people and very ugly for others. But that's their problem, not mine."

Fans have commented on her physical features on social media. In August 2023, she posted a black-and-white side-view picture of her in full glam. Her followers raved about her beauty.

"Flawless," wrote one person in the comments section. Another stated, "Gorgeous," alongside a heart emoji. Someone else penned, "Perfection."

De Palma, who starred in the 2017 comedy film, "Madame" alongside Toni Collete, Tom Hughes, Michael Smiley, and Harvey Keitel, also has a stunning daughter, Luna García.

On August 24, 2023, de Palma paid tribute to her child on Instagram on her birthday. The proud mom posted several images of the mother-and-daughter duo.

The doting mother captioned her post, "Happy 24 My One & Only I Love You Infinite My Love Im So Proud Of You Daughter You Are My Best And Most Precious Gift."

One picture showed de Palma and her daughter Garcia sporting glamorous looks, with their hair tied in buns and wearing dangling earrings.

De Palma is a mother of two. In August 2018, she was reported to be living in Madrid with her children, where she owned a house just outside the city at the time.
