Of all the actresses in this portfolio, Assunta de Rossi has treaded the most curious path. She started out as a child star in some saint-inspired movie, passed the teenybopper stop without success, became a bold star, and was suddenly on top of the world. She was to be the next most important actress. She even won an Urian! And then Sam, as we like to call her, fell in love, left home, took her manager to court, got married, and all of a sudden, she's a young star again, sharing equal billing with the likes of Claudine Barretto and Piolo Pascual, Saturdays in Buttercup. Last seen in Star Cinema's girl-power movie Pinay Pie, Assunta de Rossi is set to star in what could be the dramatic highlight of her life: the church wedding to Negros Rep. Jules Ledesma come first quarter of 2004.
