Mayra Veronica Biography
Mayra Veronica : Mayra Veronica's Biography
Mayra
Veronica Aruca Rodriguez, Born in Havana, Cuba, was heavily
influenced by her father Arturo, a singer for the one-time popular rock
group Los Dada. As Mayra Veronica followed her father to rehearsals and
shows during her youth, Mayra Veronica came to love entertaining and the
arts. Her development as an entertainer was slowed after Mayra Veronica
and her mother, whose name is also Mayra, defected to the United States
in hopes of a better life away from Fidel Castro's iron fist. Settling
in Miami, mother and daughter toughed it out without the rest of their
family, until Mayra Veronica's father arrived.
Though the family was reunited, they struggled financially and Mayra
Veronica grew up poor. Mayra Veronica loved ballet, but because the
family could not afford the dance school fees, Mayra Veronica was given
a second option: recruit seven friends to attend ballet and Mayra
Veronica could take lessons for free. Fortunately, Mayra Veronica found
seven friends in to time. Mayra Veronica took dancing seriously until
the age of 17, at which point Mayra Veronica decided that her newly
voluptuous body was more appropriate onstage than in a tutu. While at
Florida International University studying psychology and business, Mayra
Veronica took some acting classes on the side and starred in several
plays. After graduating, Mayra Veronica moved to New York City to
further pursue an acting career.

After taking more acting
classes in the Big Apple, Mayra Veronica returned to Miami to try to
establish herself in the entertainment industry there. Mayra Veronica's
first big score was at TV channel MediaOne, where Mayra Veronica hosted
Miami Hoy and Hollywood Previews, two celebrity-centric programs. By
2001, Mayra Veronica had begun working for Univision, the Spanish media
company and TV network. Mayra Veronica's role as a model and host on the
variety show Don Francisco presenta showed off Mayra Veronica's fine
physical traits and attractive personality. It did not take long for
audiences and media outlets to notice this hottie, and soon Mayra
Veronica was a star. Subsequent work in the PBS made-for-TV movie The
Suitor, the independent film Tumbe, and several Univision and Sabado
Gigante sitcoms proved that Mayra Veronica was a popular actress with a
strong Q rating.
As far as modeling goes, Mayra Veronica emerged on the international
stage following Mayra Veronica's appearance in the August 2003 issue of
FHM. In both 2004 and 2005, she made it on the magazine's list of the
"Top 100 Sexiest Women in the World." Mayra Veronica went on to sell
calendars, and then became one of the most-searched names on the Web.
Further appearances as a spokesmodel for Coca-Cola, L'Oral, Colgate,
Burger King, and Allstate cemented Veronica as one of America's finest
Latinas. In fact, Mayra Veronica is so famous for her talent and beauty
that a Saudi prince even courted her, going so far as to buy Mayra
Veronica a house. Mayra Veronica later gave the gift to her mom, but
never pursued a relationship with the prince. As a regular feature in
celebrity magazines, and thanks to Mayra Veronica's renewed focus on
acting and music, it looks like we'll be seeing this stunning model and
actress for some time to come.
