Roselyn Sanchez Profile |
Roselyn Sanchez
Roselyn Sanchez was born on April 2nd, 1970 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Roselyn grew up there with her mother, father (a marketing businessman) and three older brothers. Despite a lifelong interest in the entertainment industry, Roselyn Sanchez decided to study marketing at the University of Puerto Rico, in order to do what her brothers had not done -- namely, take over the family business. After three years, however, she decided to quit, and pursued her dreams by studying acting, singing and dancing.
In the mid-'90s, Roselyn Sanchez landed a spot as dancer and co-host of Puerto Rico's No. 1 comedy-variety show, Que Vacilon, which brought her fame in her native country. Her good looks brought her success in other areas, too, particularly beauty pageants. She was named Miss Puerto Rico Petite in 1993, and the following year she represented her country and became Miss America Petite 1994.
Having done so well in her homeland, Sanchez then decided to go for the big time and left Puerto Rico for New York. Getting started was as difficult for her as it is for any aspiring actor, but she soon found her way by working on her one-woman show, Out Here On My Own, and appearing in the 1992 comedy Captain Ron, as an Island Girl. Perhaps more substantially, she won the first Latina role in the almost 50-year history of the soap opera, As the World Turns, and portrayed Pilar Domingo from 1996 to 1997.
