Alessandra de Rossi (born Alessandra Tiotangco Schiavone on July 19, 1984) is a Filipino actress and writer. Known for her dramatic and comedic performances in independent film and television, she made her screen debut in the comedy series !Oka Tokat. Her breakthrough came when she played Valentina in the series Darna which led to various supporting and antagonist roles in television. Her work has received accolades from various award-giving bodies including an ASEAN International Film Festival and Awards, three FAMAS Awards, three Gawad Urian Awards, three PMPC Star Awards for Movies and a QCinema International Film Festival Award.[1]

Career

In 2017, De Rossi co-starred in the romantic comedy film Kita Kita, starring alongside comedian Empoy Marquez. The film eventually became the highest-grossing Filipino independent film of all time, earning ₱300 million (approximately US$5.88 million) within three weeks of its release. Due to the movie's popularity, Philippine entertainment media sources dubbed their pairing as "AlEmpoy".[2]

After her successful portrayal in Kita Kita, De Rossi has pledged not to accept antagonist roles anymore in either television and feature films.[3]

She and Marquez have come back as a love team in their latest film, Walang KaParis.[4]
