Sofía Margarita Vergara Vergara was born and raised in Barranquilla, Colombia. Her mother, Margarita Vergara Dávila de Vergara, is a housewife. Her father, Julio Enrique Vergara Robayo, provides cattle to the meat industry. She has five siblings. She was educated at a private bilingual Spanish/English school. She then went on to study pre-dentistry. However, Sofía was discovered by a photographer, whilst at the beach, and this led to various jobs in modeling and television. At age 23, she was a runway model. From 1995 to 1998, she co-hosted a travel show, Fuera de serie (1995), which gave her exposure in the United States. Her first film role was the criminal comedy Big Trouble (2002). Her breakthrough role was as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on the American television series Modern Family (2009). In 2010-2013, she received four Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for this role. Sofía resides in Los Angeles, California with her son, Manolo. Show less «

[on turning down the controversial role of Charlotte Bless in The Paperboy (2012)]: It was a fun role. I was so glad that I didn't have to pee in anyone's face, though. I was glad it was not me. For [Nicole Kidman], that's nothing. For me, it would have been three weeks of stress. How am I going to pee in there? Show less «

[on her discomfort with her breasts at age 13]: I wanted surgery. I told my mom, "As soon as I'm older, please take these boobs away." She said, "Sofia, shut up. When you're 18, it will be different." I was like "Why would I want these huge boobs?". I'm a 34DD. It's hard to dress. No matter what I wear, I look like a stripper. Show less «

Los Angeles is crazy. The women all look the same now. That thing with the cheeks. Like Madonna. Who do they think they're fooling? It doesn't make them look young. You end up looking like a freak. Show less «
