| Biography: The Independent Film Alliance is pleased to announce that our May Actress of the Month is the lovely Christina DeRosa, who attracted an outstanding 72,847 votes on our website! Born and raised in NYC, DeRosa was only 10 years old when she was cast in her first professional musical, as a munchkin alongside a young Natalie Portman in the Wizard of OZ. DeRosa has come a long way since then. After graduating from UCLAs school of theatre, film and TV, and attending such prestigious programs as The Groundlings and The Larry Moss studio. DeRosa has been working steadily in modeling, commercials, film, and television. She recently wrapped up her role as a lesbian lover in the upcoming horror film Blood and Guts, and had a satirical role as a singing porn star in Parental Guidance Suggested, directed by Adam Epstein and Andrew Jacobson. She is featured in two Albertsons commercials and currently acts as the spokesperson for Epifania Lingerie. Aside from her acting and modeling jobs, this multi-talented firecracker also sings and is busy collaborating with music producer Ralph Churchwell, who has produced such acts as Lenny Kravitz, The Baha Men, and Beth Orton. She is represented by JLA Talent and is managed by Ralph Lliteras. Whatever DeRosa is doing, she is doing it right. Maybe her success has something to do with her positive outlook, succinctly described by the versatile and feisty woman herself. Sassy is not an attitude; its a way of life for her. 2006 has been a great year for DeRosa, but 2007 will be an even greater year. She has three independent movies coming out soon, Parental Guidance Suggested, The Metrosexual, and Palo Alto. Since she has won IFA's Actress of the Month Award, she booked a National Dodge Commercial airing in November for all Spanish networks. Her next film will be Blood Red...The Darkness, co-staring with Dean Cane, shooting in November. |
