Sofía Vergara mini-bio: Vergara was discovered by a photographer while walking a Colombian beach. She made her first public appearance at the age of 17 in a Pepsi commercial that was widely telecast all over Latin America. Considering that she had a son, mother, and younger siblings who needed her financial support in the absence of her father, who had departed the family, gave her further impetus to drop out of college and go to work where she could earn good wages. Vergara moved to Bogotá at the age of 20, where she worked as a model on the runway and on TV. From 1995 to 1999, she was co-host with Fernando Fiore on Fuera de Serie ("Out of the Ordinary" or "Over-the-Top"), a series which sent her to exotic places all over the world (this is similar to the U.S. Wild On! travel series). It was telecast on the international Univision Spanish-language network, and it made her a star in the Latin American market and gave her some USA TV exposure. She also co-hosted the Univision show A que no te atreves ("I Dare You").

Besides runway and catalog modeling work, Vergara also did independent projects. She did South American television ads, and also posed in swimsuits for posters for beer advertising, especially for Miller Lite beer. Vergara is 170 cm (5 ft, 7 in) tall, and she has naturally blonde/sunbleached hair (for films and TV, she is frequently required to dye it brunette to make her look more "Latina"). As for her figure, she says that she has been built this way since she was 13 years old, and it is all 100% natural. Vergara was long under an exclusive TV contract with Univision, but that has now expired and she was open to accept a role with ABC in the United States. With ABC, she acted in the short-lived sitcom Hot Properties in 2005. Vergara has been seen with Enrique Iglesias and Latin superstar Luis Miguel. Sofia has lived in the United States for a while now, mostly in Miami and Los Angeles, and she brought other family members including her mother, sister, and his son to live with her. Her older brother was killed in Colombia. His murder is still unsolved. She will play the role of Mary Alice Young in the Colombian version of Desperate Housewives.

She's doing a great job on Men in Trees right now! I'm glad she's back on TV, if only for a little bit. She's so hilarious... and smart! Did you know she was planning to be a dentist before she was "discovered"? Wow.
