Natalia Oreiro

Natalia Marisa Oreiro Iglesias (Spanish pronunciation: [naˈtalja oˈɾejɾo]; born 19 May 1977) is a Uruguayan actress, singer, songwriter, model, television presenter and fashion designer. She began her career in telenovelas but since 2008 she has switched to work primarily in films. Oreiro has worked on social awareness shows and events for organizations like Greenpeace and UNICEF, the latter of which designated her as ambassador for Argentina and Uruguay in September 2011. Her starring role as Milagros Espósito on Muñeca Brava (1998–99) brought her widespread international fame, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet republics, and Israel, where her popularity endured following the telenovela’s run, which has been rebroadcast multiple times.
