Countess LuAnn de Lesseps is wife to Alexander Count de Lesseps of the Suez Canal Dynasty.  This American Indian woman started her career as a host for Italian TV.  She appeared on high profile programs like Paperissima (Bloopers Bleeps and Blunders) and Pressing (co-hosting Soccer Program).  She is also a trained nurse.  Although she is a very much in-demand socialite, she finds time to help various charities and she is also a hands-on mom to two kids.  LuAnn hosts her own show, The Countess Report, on WVVH Hamptons TV.

LuAnn de Lesseps can now be seen on the new Bravo reality series The Real Housewives of New York City.
