Lupita D'Alessio (born Guadalupe Contreras Ramos on March 10, 1954 in Tijuana, Baja California) is a Mexican singer and actress. She is nicknamed La Leona Dormida (a title of one oh her songs which translates to "The sleeping lioness") because of the constant theme of criticism of men in her songs and presentations.

She has three sons with Vargas: Jorge, César and actor Ernesto D'Alessio.

Biography

She starter her career in showbusiness with her father Poncho D'Alessio who had a musical show called La Familia D'Alessio on a Tijuana television station.

She was invited to take roles on Ana del aire and other productions in the 1970s and 1980s.

In 2000, after years of not being offered significant roles in telenovelas, she accepted one in TV Azteca with Ellas, inocentes o culpables, although she left the production after a month. This production was starred by Leonardo García, the son of Andrés García.

Scandals

In 2001, she married for the sixth time, this time to German model Christian Rossen (23 years her junior). Months later they separated and she accused her husband of being gay and having had an affair with Andrés García Jr. García Jr accepted he knew Rössen when they were both in the same model agency. Andrés quickly challenged D'Alessio and defended the honor of his son supporting him in filing a lawsuit against the singer. Leonardo, however, did not file a lawsuit.
