Majandra Delfino, 30

Actress Majandra Delfino (Roswell, State of Georgia), was born in Caracas, Venezuela to a Cuban mother and Venezuelan father. She got the name Majandra because her older sister, Marieh couldn’t pronounce her birth name (Maria Alejandra) and gave her the nickname Majandra, which stuck. Majandra, who is proud of her Latin roots, tells Latina.com that people in L.A. have a hard time believing she’s Latina. “People here are very limited in their exposure to South Americans,” she says. “They say, 'But you're white!' and I say 'yes we come in pale too.' Then they go, 'but you have green eyes!' and I'm like, 'Yup we have that too.' And then they go, 'but you don't look Mexican!' and I'm like, 'Because I'm not.' it's pretty hilarious. When you have a name like Majandra, the conversation just can't help but come up!” she adds.
