She was born on July 10, 1972, in Barranquilla, Colombia, and long before becoming one of Hollywood’s most famous Latinas, she was discovered by a photographer while walking along a beach in Santa Marta. That encounter opened the doors to modeling and television for her, first in the Latin market and then in the United States.
The rest is already part of pop culture: her role as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on Modern Family earned her four Emmy nominations and four Golden Globe nominations, and made her one of television’s most beloved actresses. Today, with more than three decades of experience, work as a television judge, and an increasingly strong business side, Sofía shows that her story began with an unexpected opportunity, but was sustained by charisma, talent, and a great deal of perseverance. 💃
