Played by Sofia Vergara
Like Gloria, Sofia Vergara was born and raised in Colombia. She was initially discovered on a Colombian beach, and just like that, her life changed. Gloria modeled for several years in Latin America before finding her way to the US, where she made a killing.
From 2013 to 2020, Sofia was the highest-paid actress on American TV. She admitted in an interview that Modern Family made her the success she is and that she might never find another role that she enjoys as much. She hosts America’s Got Talent, starting from the 15th season onward. She married the star of True Blood, Joe Manganiello, in 2015 after a year of dating.
