Alicia Machado

Alicia Machado, the beauty queen, actress and model, was born as Yoseph Alicia Machado Fajardo on December 6, 1976, in Maracay, Venezuela. Alicia is of mixed blood. Her father was Spanish as was her mother Cuban. She's been an important character in films, television and beauty contests all her career. Alicia Machado rose to fame after she was crowned Miss Venezuela at age 19 representing Yaracuy. The crowning moment came a year later when she took home the Miss Universe 1996 title, the fourth Venezuelan to win the coveted title. Her time being Miss Universe, however, was marred with controversy and unfavorable media attention due to her weight gain throughout her time as Miss Universe. Donald Trump, who owned the Miss Universe Organization at the time, publicly criticized her for her weight gain, even calling her "Miss Piggy" as well as making her do exercises with the media. This incident led to a lengthy dispute among Alicia with Trump. Alicia Alicia Alicia
