Early life
Sánchez was
born in San Juan, Puerto Rico,[1] the youngest of four siblings, having three
older brothers. She received her primary education in San Juan. At a young age,
she showed an interest in both dancing and acting and would put on shows for her
family. Sánchez enrolled in the University of Puerto Rico, where like her father
and brothers she was to study marketing.[2] However, this was not her calling
and after three years she left the course. In 1991, at the age of 18, Sánchez
moved to New York City, where she took classes in dancing, acting and
singing.[3] She returned to Puerto Rico, and in 1992 she made her movie debut,
having landed a small part as an island girl in the movie Captain Ron, which was
partly filmed in Puerto Rico, starring Martin Short and Kurt Russell.
Career
Rise to fame
In Puerto Rico,
she gained public attention as a dancer and as co-host of a variety show called
Qué Vacilón. At that time, in 1993, Sánchez won the Miss Puerto Rico Petite
contest, and in 1994 she won the international title of Miss American Petite,
bringing her international fame. Sánchez has been named to numerous annual lists
of beautiful women including Maxim Magazine's "Hot 100" in 2001, 2002 and 2006;
AskMen.com's "Top 99 Most Desirable Women" in 2005 and 2006; and FHM's "100
Sexiest Women" in 2005 and 2006.[4]
Sánchez in
Hollywood
In 2001,
Sánchez was cast as Isabella Molina, an undercover United States Secret Service
agent who was Jackie Chan's love interest in the hit movie Rush Hour 2. In 2003,
she played the role of Lorena in the movie Chasing Papi, starring alongside Jaci
Velasquez and Sofia Vergara. Sánchez has acted in some 20 movies, including as
Maria in Edison and as Karen Lopez in Underclassman. She starred in the Puerto
Rican film Cayo, released in 2005.
In the fall of
2005, she joined the cast of the television series Without a Trace, where she
played Agent Elena Delgado.
She composed
the musical Yellow, about a singer/dancer/actress who leaves Puerto Rico to hit
the big time in New York, in which she played the principal part. The movie was
filmed in 2005 and released in 2007.
Also in 2007,
she acted as Monique, the ballet teacher, in The Game Plan, and in 2009, starred
in The Perfect Sleep, a neo-noir drama, co-starring Patrick Bauchau, Tony
Amendola, Isaac Singleton, and Peter Lucas.
Music career
In 2003, her
first musical recording, Borinqueña, was released. The album's first single,
"Amor Amor", gained a lot of attention as well as a Latin Grammy nomination for
Best Music Video. She appeared in Craig David's music videos "Hidden Agenda" and
"Personal" and in the Fabolous video for the song "Make Me Better".
Personal life
Sánchez was
married to actor Gary Stretch from 9 August 1998, to 2001. After her divorce,
she started a relationship with Puerto Rican salsa singer Víctor Manuelle.
However, in December 2005, she announced that she had ended their relationship.
The separation was amicable. She married actor Eric Winter on 29 November 2008,
in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[5][6] In August, 2011, Sánchez announced that she and
Winter are expecting their first child together.[7] They welcomed daughter
Sebella Rose Winter on January 4, 2012.[8]
Sánchez is a
supporter of animal rights and an active member of PETA. She recently appeared
nude in a PETA ad in support of anti-fur campaign efforts.[9] She is the
spokesperson of the Fundación de Niños San Jorge, which assists sick children
from poor families.[10]
