Alessandra Schiavone De Rossi, better known by her stage name Alessandra De Rossi (born on July 19, 1984 in England, United Kingdom), is an award-winning Italian-Filipino actress. She is the younger sister of actress Assunta De Rossi.

At the age of 16, Alessandra took home the coveted acting award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Azucena at the FAMAS Awards.

She was once overshadowed by the showbiz success of her older sister, Assunta. However, her genuine ability to act allowed her to eventually outshine the former. Her career took off after exceptional portrayals in different drama films including the critically acclaimed "Mga Munting Tining" (Small Voices) and "Homecoming", where she portrayed a Canadian-based domestic worker who visited her home in a rural town in the Philippines, bringing with her the deadly disease SARS which she spreads among the residents.

Alessandra won the part of Valentina, the villainess of the popular comic turned "fantaserye" (fantasy TV series), "Darna", which aired on GMA network in 2005. The show fared exceptionally well in the ratings, earning her additional attention for her show stealing performance.

De Rossi’s latest offering was the Singaporean-based horror film The Maid where she played the lead role of Rosa, a housemaid in Singapore. The film was a box office hit both locally and in neighbouring Asian countries.

Presently, she moved back to ABS-CBN for special role for I Love Betty La Fea. [ [http://www.pep.ph/news/18691/FIRST-READ-ON-PEP:-Alessandra-de-Rossi-moves-to-ABS-CBN;-joins-cast-of-Betty-La-Fea FIRST READ ON PEP: Alessandra de Rossi moves to ABS-CBN; joins cast of "Betty La Fea"] ]

Controversies

*During the Nivea celebrity challenge event, Alessandra de Rossi denied the issue of slapping her ex-boyfriend, Jeremy Marquez, and throwing the finger gesture to the latter.
*Alessandra is known for sweet-yet-fearless attitude and has had previous alleged fights among other actresses such as Jennylyn Mercado (Jennylyn allegedly flirted with her then-boyfriend Jeremy Marquez), Toni Gonzaga (Toni allegedly gave advises to Jeremy Marquez about their then-rocky relationship), Rhian Ramos (Rhian allegedly called her unprofessional), and Roxanne Barcelo (for allegedly blaming Alessandra for her breakup with actor Luis Alandy)
*She is declared by Celia Rodriguez in a GMA event as the actress who will be the "next Celia Rodriguez" in the Philippine showbiz industry
*She has long been offered by ABS-CBN but she turned down these offers (including Hiram na Mukha antagonist role) due to loyalty to GMA-7.
*Tabloids claim that she left GMA Network to avoid Rhian Ramos, who is a niece of a GMA top executive. Before this, she turned down the offer of the role of the lead antagonist of La Lola, a series which will be topbilled by Rhian Ramos.
*She stood by her statement that Rhian Ramos was lying when she denied calling her unprofessional.
