This Australian stunner first made waves as a virginal nude model in the 1994 big-screen comedy Sirens. After a succession of small parts in mostly forgettable films, the actress joined the cast of the hit dramedy Ally McBeal in 1998 and stayed with the series until it ended. Although she continued to take occasional movie parts, the small screen remained her primary medium, and in 2003 she signed on as part of the ensemble screwball sitcom Arrested Development. Off screen de Rossi has enjoyed a high-profile love life. After a short-lived marriage to a sound engineer, she began dating singer Francesca Gregorini, whom she eventually left for comedian Ellen DeGeneres.
