Miss Universe 1996 Alicia Machado is celebrating her 49th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.
Popular actress-television host-singer-model Alicia Machado (El Pantera, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 49th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.
Machado, a cultural icon
Born Yoseph Alicia Machado Fajardo in Maracay on December 6, 1976, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Venezuelan history. Machado's not just a great actress, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Alicia hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Alicia Machado as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 49.
Happy Birthday, Alicia, you're the best!
