This South-American Siren was classically trained in voice, theater and dance, and thanks to a photogenic mug, she quickly gained work in television and foreign films. Her break in American film came in 2002, when her good friend Salma Hayek cast her as Frida Kahlo's sister in Frida. Numerous TV movies and Spanish-language films followed, leading to her her first high-profile role: As Sidney Bristo's mysterious, butt-kicking half-sister on the n hit tv show, Alias. Honing her screaming skills on the ABC spy thriller proved useful for her biggest film to date: 2006's Poseidon.

2. In 2001 both Stuff and Maxim named her among the Sexiest Women Alive.
