Daisy Fuentes was born November 17,
1966, in Havana, Cuba. When Daisy was three years old, her family moved to
Madrid, Spain, and four years later, they moved to Harrison, New Jersey.
While studying communications and journalism at Bergen Community College,
Daisy was selected as "weather girl" on WXTV Channel 41, Univision's New
York affiliate. It didn't take long for the journalism student to move up
the ranks, to become news anchor and reporter for the evening news.
The Latino television audience took a liking to the talented and beautiful
19-year-old reporter. In 1988, Daisy moved on to work as news anchor at
WNJU Channel 47, Telemundo's New York affiliate. That same year, she sent
a demo tape and a letter to MTV. She soon retired her news reports for
music reports, as host of MTV International, which later became MTV
Latino.
The first Latina VJ, Daisy also became the first crossover VJ to work on
both MTV US and MTV Latino. She later became host of House of Style and
One on One with Michael Jordan (among others), on the original MTV and
Latin MTV. She also counted down the Top 20 videos on American MTV, and
the Top 20 videos for MTV Latino.
While hosting and VJ-ing on MTV, Daisy began to develop her acting skills
with a role on the ABC soap opera, Loving. She followed up her soap role
with appearances on shows such as Dream On, The Larry Sanders Show and
Cybill. From 1994 until 1995, Daisy was the host of her own talk show on
CNBC named Daisy, as part of the network's Talk All-Stars. She also hosted
ABC's America's Funniest Home Videos for two seasons. Daisy's other
hosting gigs included: The Alma Awards in 1997 and 1998; Dick Clark's New
Year's Rockin' Eve '98; The 1998 World Music Awards; the 1999 Billboard
Latin Awards; as well as Miss Teen USA, Miss USA, and Miss Universe
pageants.
While her intellect and talent have brought Daisy broadcasting success,
her beauty has given her a successful modeling career. Daisy is a
worldwide Revlon spokesmodel. In addition to her multi-year contract with
Revlon, Daisy also endorses American Express, Pantene, M&M's, and Miller
Lite. She can also be seen in 1996 and 1997 Landmark calendars, and
keeping fit in her own exercise video. Daisy has graced a wide range of
magazines, such as Spanish Cosmopolitan and Harper's Bazaar, Fitness,
Latina and Shape.
Her career accomplishments are due largely to her charm, humor, intellect,
and beauty, which are reasons for which Daisy and her career will only
continue to bloom.
