Alessandra has been all over the place – she’s been a Playboy model, an actress and a singer. The album was only released in Japan, though, and is apparently quite the collector’s item. She was also the leader of a right-wing political party and kicked the minister for equal opportunities on a talk show. It happens at about 43 seconds into the linked video, if you’re interested.
