Majandra

Majandra Delfino was born February 20, 1981 in Caracas, Venezuela - her father's home country. Her name was originally Maria Alejandra, however her sister Marieh had trouble pronouncing it and so the name evolved to Majandra (ma-han-dra).

At age three she and her family moved to Miami. Delfino showed astounding taltent at a young age in the arts, singing, ballet dancing and acting. At 10 she danced with The Miami Ballet and one year later she joined a singing group called "China Doll". Since then she has left the group and moved on to bigger and better things.

Majandra's parents desided to let their daughter make a choice. They gave her a six-month time period in which to seriously pursue a career in entertainment or to concentrate on her academic life. Majandra succeeded in securing her first movie role in "Zeus and Roxanne." She later starred in "The Tony Danza Show." Her real leap up the fame ladder came when she won the role on the hit show "Roswell". (debut on WB, currently on UPN.)

Majandra plays the character "Maria Deluca", best friend to "Liz Parker" (played by real-life friend, Shiri Appleby). Maria is firey young woman with a passion for life. Her wit and sarcasm make her almost the perfect mate for resident alien, Michael Guerin, however the two often butt heads. Maria is often a surprise. She shows her friends and loved ones compassion, but fear and anxiety lead her down different roads. Majandra plays this character with energy, charisma and an unmistakable pout. The development of her love-hate relationship with "Michael" (Fehr) is wonderful to watch.

Majandras film credits include:"Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th", "The Secret Lives of Girls." and "The Learning Curve". She also had a role in the Oscar nominated motion picture, "Traffic".

Majandra currently lives in LA. After showcasing a lot of her musical talent on "Roswell" she has released her first CD "The Sicks", described on Amazon as "A six-track stunner
