Majandra Delfino rose to fame for her role as "Maria Delcua" on Roswell.  Born in Caracas, Venezuela, on February 20, 1981, Majandra moved to the states at the age of three.  Residing in Florida, she excelled in academics, but her interests pointed towards the arts.  At the age of ten, she danced in "The Nutcracker" with the Miami Ballet.  Besides dance, Majandra also took part in school plays and community theatre.  At the age of eleven, 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 girl's enjoyed small success.    A few years later both Majandra and Samantha left the group.  After singing, Majandra decided to giver her acting dreams a shot.  Her parents, at first dismayed over their daughter's aspirations, gaver her a six-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 "The Tony Danza Show" (1998).  It wasn't until 1999, with the success of the WB's "Roswell" (1999) 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).

Has an older sister. Attended New World School of the Arts in Miami, FL. Was nicknamed Majandra because because her sister couldn't say Maria Alejandra. Enjoys singing.
