Mini Biography :
>> Majandra Delfino rose to fame for her role as Maria DeLuca
on "Roswell" (1999). Born in Caracas, Venezuela on February 20, 1981,
Majandra 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 she danced in "The Nutcracker" with the Miami Ballet.
Besides dance, Majandra also took part in school plays and the community
theatre.
At the age of 11, her best friend Samantha Gibb, daughter of the
Bee Gees' Maurice Gibb, joined an all-girls singing quartet named
'China Doll'. The group specialized in Latin-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 and Samantha left
the group. After singing, Majandra 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 she 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 "Tony Danza Show, The" (1997). It wasn't
until 1999, with the success of "Roswell" that Majandra 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. Next up, it's the big screen, starring
with Michael Douglas in the feature film Traffic (2000).
