Majandra Delfino rose to fame for her role as Maria Deluca on Roswell (1999). Born in Caracus, Venezuela on February, 20, 1981, Majandra moved to the states at the age of 3. She was born Maria Alejandra, but her sister couldn't pronounce it and her name became Majandra instead. Residing in Miami, Florida, she excelled in academics, but gravitated towards arts, enrolling in ballet, singing and acting lessons, and was soon performing in school plays and commmunity theater productions. At the age of 10, she danced in The Nutcracker with the Miami Ballet. At age 11, her best friend Samantha Gibb, daughter of the Bee Gees' Maurice Gibb, joined an all-girls singing quarter named 'China Doll'. The group specialized in Latin-styled pop. After opening for the Bee Gees at a benefit concert at the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami Beach, the girls enjoyed small success. A few years later, both Majandra and Samantha left the group, but continued to write & record as a duo. After singing, Majandra decided to give her acting dreams a shot. Her parents, at first dismayed over their daughter's aspirations, gave her a 6-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. 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 was the Big Screen, starring Michael Douglas in the feature film Traffic (2000), then it was Sticks & Stones (2001).
Majandra lives in Los Angeles. Her mom, sister, and her dogs live there too. While continueing her acting, she has also returned to her first love of music and is currently in the recording studio writing and recording CDs of her music.
