Majandra DelfinoMajandra Delfino rose to fame for her role as Maria DeLuca on "Roswell" (1999). Born in Caracas, Venezuela on February 20, 1981, Majandra Delfino moved to the states at the age of 3. Residing in Florida, she excelled in academics, but her interests pointed towards the arts. At the age of 10 Majandra Delfino danced in "The Nutcracker" with the Miami Ballet.
Besides dance, Majandra Delfino also took part in school plays and the community theatre. At the age of 11, Majandra Delfino's best friend Samantha Gibb, daughter of the Bee Gees' Maurice Gibb, joined an all-girls singing quartet named 'China Doll'. The group specialized in soul-styled pop. After opening for the Bee Gees at a benefit concert at Miami Beach, the girls enjoyed small success. A fews years later both Majandra Delfino and Samantha left the group. After singing, Majandra Delfino decided to give her acting dreams a shot. Her parents, at first dismayed over their daughters aspirations, gave her a 6-month deadline to test her skills. If all else failed, she would concentrate fully on school.
Within months Majandra Delfino had secured herself with an agent, and was already landing jobs. She landed her first television series the following summer, playing Tony Danza's daughter on "The Tony Danza Show" (1997). It wasn't until 1999, with the success of "Roswell" that Majandra Delfino rose to fan-magazine fame. Her role as the sarcastic Maria DeLuca has sparked many fans all around. Not forgetting her singing talent, you'll see her singing on the show every so often. Majandra Delfino also starred in the big screen, starring with Michael Douglas in the feature film Traffic (2000).
