Birth 6 of December of 1976 as Joseph Alicia Machado Fajardo in Maracay, Aragua State, Venezuela.

From 1979 to 1983 she studied classic ballet and soon she danced contemporary dance during eight years.

In 1993 she graduated as bachelor in the mixed grammar school " Calicantina " of Maracay. That same year she began studies of Administrative Sciences at the UNITEC.

In 1994 she made sporadic commercial in Caracas with the agency of models that directs the Hundredth Mariela.

In June of 1995 she became Miss Venezuela. In 1996 she won Miss Universe. In 1998 she carried out the soap opera " Samantha " in Venevisión. In 1999 she traveled to Mexico while carried out the soap opera " Hell in the Paradise ". She has two brothers - 16 years old (Francisco Arturo Machado Fajardo) and 31 years (Arturo Jose Machado). Her papa is called Arturo Jose Machado and her mother Marta.

"In 2004–2005, she can be viewed almost twenty-four hours a day on several cable-television channels in Latin America in a commercial for a dieting product."

This should change to something less cynical like "she has pursued a career as a TV commercial model with particular success in promoting a dieting product"

[edit] People in Venezuela "ashamed" of her???

People in Venezuela "ashamed" of her.... who wrote that moronic sentence?

People in Venezuela is far more ashamed of other characters, starting from the current country's President, than of this poor girl. She proved to be as human as everyone of us, as well as being omnipresent almost 10 years after her winning at Miss Universe. Can anyone recall any other beaty queen's name related to her?

She's probably laughing her belly off with comments like these... and fueling her presence on mass media, despite her "lack of success".

Good luck on Playboy!!!
