Born July 10, 1972 this Colombian actress, television
hostess, model, and entrepreneur has made many inroads into showbusiness over
the years.
While she is probably best known for her role in Modern Family,
Vergara had a burstying career as far back as the 1990s as a co-host of two TV
shows for Univisiin
in the late 1990s.
Her TV career opened up plenty of doors for the busty beauty
in North American audiences including her first acting job in English, the 2003
film Chasing Papi and two Tyler Perry films (Meet the Browns in 2008) and 2009s
Madea Goes to Jail).
Born in Barranquilla, Colombia, Vergara's mother made a life
as a homemaker while her father produced cattle for the meat industry, while
her older brother was murdered in 1998 leading to her wanting to leave
Columbia.
Humble beginnings for one of Hollywood's hottest stars,
don't you think?
In 2008, Vergara was 62 on Maxim magazine's "Hot
100" list. She was named one of People magazine's "50 most beautiful
people" and has been recognised by both the Hollywood Reporter and
Billboard as one of the most influential Latinas in Hollywood.
In July 2011, she finished filming for the Farrelly
Brothers' The Three Stooges, her first lead role in a film. Vergara said of the
risky reboot, "I play a mean woman that tries to manipulate the Three
Stooges into killing her husband so that she gets all the money". Then she
giggled and made a pouty face.
In the same year, Vergara also was named as the new face of
CoverGirl, debuted in a Diet Pepsi commercial with David Beckham and announced
that she is designing a clothing line for K-Mart targeting "Soccer
Moms". In anyones book, that's a pretty big year - and it isn't slowing
down any time soon.
