Best known for her roles on “Ally McBeal’ and “Arrested Development”, De Rossi has earned a Screen Actors Guild Award for her work on the former. In a rumored attempt to get a green card for the United States, De Rossi married prolific documentary filmmaker Mel Metcalfe from 1996 to 1999. “[The marriage] just obviously wasn’t right for me,” De Rossi said on Good Morning America.
