Golden Globe nominee for Best Supporting Actress in a TV Series Sofia Vergara has come a long way from dentistry school! The 39-year-old actress may be known for her hilarious interpretation of Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on ABC’s runaway hit sitcom Modern Family, but she got her start when a modeling agent spotted her on the beach in her native Colombia when she was just two semesters short of graduating and becoming a dentist. Before she knew it she was hosting Univision’s travel show Fuera de Serie, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Here is the evolution of Sofia Vergara’s career:

Fuera de Serie

From 1995-1999, Vergara co-hosted Univision’s Fuera de Serie alongside Fernando Fiore. The travel show sent her all around the world and made her a star across Latin America. It also exposed her to the American audience for the first time, through local Univision affiliates. This lead to a series of modeling gigs and a few swimsuit calendars that sold incredibly well.
