Sofia Vergara |
Sofia was discovered by a photographer while walking on a beach in her native Colombia. One peek at this brown-haired knockout in a bikini and you can see why this guy did a double take. But it was her brains and sparkling personality that landed her plum Spanish TV jobs like hosting travel and reality shows, and eventually carried her all the way to Hollywood in flicks like Big Trouble and Soul Plane.
Sofia finally had her big moment of affirmation in 2005. It wasn’t an award or lucrative endorsement deal, but rather a visit from and his crew of tricksters on MTV’s Punk’d! She was also seen in the skateboarding history lesson Lords of Dogtown and the revenge flick Four Brothers. On a down note, she faced the ugly side of Hollywood when her sitcom, Hot Properties, was cancelled by ABC after 13 episodes.
The spotlight will only shine brighter on Sofia in 2006. She is set to appear with (you may have heard of her) in National Lampoon’s sorority comedy Pledge This! She’ll also keep focused on her fledgling fashion design business, hopefully coming up with really skimpy outfits and modeling them herself.
