Sof a Vergara

Sofía Margarita Vergara (born July 10, 1972) is a native of Barranquilla, Colombia. In 1995 U.S. Hispanics began to love Sofía as the vivacious host of Fuera de Serie (Out of this World) on Univision.

In this show, Sofía took viewers on globetrotting adventures in over 120 countries from the Vatican and the Amazon to the pyramids of Egypt. Her rapport with the audience made Fuera de Serie an instant hit and the same network invited her to host her own top rated prime time one-hour weekly show.

That same year her stunning and humorous presentation in the American Comedy Awards on the FOX Network created a frenzy that ended up with her first Hollywood role. After a brief audition, Sofía landed the role of Nina in the Disney comedy film Big Trouble starring Rene Russo and Tim Allen. Sofía will soon star in 20th Century Fox's comedy Chasing Papi to be released May 2003.

Sofía has graced over 50 covers of international magazines and has hosted several top Hispanic events watched by more than 100 million viewers. In 1999, Nobel Peace Winner Rigoberto Menchu awarded Sofía with the Hispanic woman of the year, commending her leadership representing the qualities Latina women have to offer the world.
