Sofia Margarita Vergara was born on July 10, 1972, in Barranquilla, Colombia. Though she’s always been blessed with the kind of looks that make men stop and stare, Sofia never gave any thought to pursuing a career within the entertainment industry. Sofia spent three years studying dentistry before she was spotted walking on a beach, and it wasn’t long before the exotic beauty was appearing in print and television advertisements. It was also around that time that Sofia got married and gave birth to her son, which made her decision to pursue a financially lucrative career as a model a veritable no-brainer.sofia-vergara
