Biography |
Majandra Delfino is an actress who is best
known for her role as Maria DeLuca in the cult television
series Roswell.
Delfino was nicknamed "Majandra" by her elder sister,
Marieh, who is also an actress. Marieh couldn't pronounce
her real name, and the nickname stuck. She is half-Cuban and
half-Venezuelan.
Delfino was always more of a musician than an actress, and
since the termination of Roswell back in 2002, she has
refocused herself on her music, releasing the critically
acclaimed 2001 album The Sicks on her own label, Dripfeed,
without radio or television airplay.
She has also received attention in France, through her duet
with French chanteuse (singer) RoBERT, titled "Le Prince
Bleu D'Arthelius" in which she sings both in English and
French.
Tarte was released April 23, 2007 through her official
website http://www.majandra.com/ and Amazon.com. It contains
11 tracks and was released through her own record company
Red velvet Cake Records. There are samples of three songs on
her official website.
She starred in Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the
Thirteenth, which was made before Scary Movie but did not
receive major cinematic release. She has also been in
Reeseville, Celeste in the City, The Tony Danza Show, and
R.S.V.P., with Jason Mewes (of Dogma fame) and Glenn Quinn
(of Angel). Her latest film State's Evidence covers the
controversial topic of violence in schools. Her masterful
performance of Trudi was her darkest dramatic role to date.
Delfino was previously in a relationship with her Roswell
costar, Brendan Fehr. She is currently dating Devon
Gummersall (of My So-Called Life fame) and who also played
her cousin, Sean Deluca on Roswell. |
