MAJANDRA
DELFINO
 The toughest thing for
19-year-old Delfino about becoming famous wasn't catching a big break, it
was just getting to Hollywood.
Because while the
future Roswell star knew she had the chops to make it as an
actress, she had a tough time convincing her parents. Finally, after
plenty of pleading, they let their little girl leave her Miami home for a
six-month shot at Tinseltown, figuring she'd be back in short order.
But Majandra had other
ideas. Within 60 days, she had an agent and her first film role, in Zeus
and Roxanne. Then came a role on Tony Danza's eponymous
short-lived sitcom and the part of Maria on Roswell. Now,
she's got several movies under her belt - and more in the works.
While she has overcome
real-life obstacles, her Roswell character still hits lots of bumps
in the road. Her on and offscreen love Brendan Fehr plays Michael,
an alien being chased by the FBI and evil aliens. And now, a
new girl, Courtney, has eyes for her guy. Whew!
Majandra, the nickname
given to her by her sister (she won't reveal her real name), was born in
Caracas, Venezuela, and moved to Miami as a toddler. She is best
friends with Samantha Gibb (the daughter of Bee Gee Maurice Gibb), and
together they formed the band China Doll. They still perform on
special occasions.
Read on to find out
more about Majandra's music, her relationship with Brendan and her
feelings on... virginity.
From spacey92: How has
your family reacted to your fame? Have they been super supportive,
or do you see any jealousy forming between you and your siblings?
My family is really
cool - especially my older sister, who is so happy to see me finally doing
something productive.
From jeezu: What is it
like working with your boyfriend all day? Does this ever cause any
problems? And what do you think of his tattoo?
Brendan is my very
best friend, and naturally, working with your best friend is great.
I love his new tattoo - though I may have been the bad influence. I
would like to apologise to his mother.
From ginna1123:
Michael and Maria are my favourite Roswell couple. Please
tell me they get back together in season two - he said he loves her, how
can they not?!
I ain't giving
anything up.
From kelrose: What's a
storyline you'd like to see happen? What has been your favourite
episode?
I'd like to find out
that Maria is a vampire and her dad is really Lestat.
From roar56: You have
such a cute smile and laugh. Where are you ticklish the most, and do
you like being tickled?
I am ticklish
everywhere. Sometimes I like to be tickled, sometimes I don't.
It depends on who's doing the tickling.
From jaysfan: Do you
believe in aliens?
Yes!
From pictureperfect:
Who do you think is your cutest male costar?
It would be a tie
between Desmond Askew (Brody) and Brendan.
From rpooka: I love
your hair. After seeing the season premiere with your long hair, I
had to do a double take. Who's that gorgeous actress? Wow,
it's Majandra. Who picks your wardrobe? Do you have any
input? You seem to have great taste.
The lovely Mimi
Melgaard picks all of our fabulous wardrobes. Working with such a
talented (and beautiful) broad leaves no need for any of the cast's input.
From diasyb: I've
heard a few of your songs online, and I think they're quite
brilliant. Are you releasing anything soon? Your lyrics are
inspiring!
Yes, I will be
releasing a CD online very soon.
From isabel_vasquez:
Do you have any advice for aspiring actresses such as myself?
Find a good support
group and strengthen your self-worth, because it's all pretty much a fight
against constant rejection.
From casey815: How far
ahead do you get the scripts?
Three or four days in
advance, and that's when I study.
From roswellian12: If
you could visit one time period in history, what would it be and why?
The late '60s and all
of the '70s. The peace, the love, the happiness and the Beatles.
From kee87: Hi,
Majandra! I love your work. You are one of my role
models! How has being in Roswell changed your life?
Roswell has
changed my life because of all the amazing people I now know and can't get
enough of.
From sauvan: What do
you think about Brendan's statement that he still wants to be a virgin?
I love being a virgin,
too. My thoughts are: It is harder for a girl to keep her virginity,
because men put so much pressure on you, while boys get patted on the back
for waiting.
From angel_cgg: Three
months ago, I cut off all my hair. Big mistake. Now, I'm in
the process of growing it out. I saw your hair grow during this
season, and was wondering how you got through the in-between stages?
My hair is driving me crazy!
Whatever you may be
feeling, don't cut it! That's my advice on growing it out.
Work with what you've gotten yourself into.
From liliacgirl: Has
Brendan's statement that he's waiting until marriage to have sex affected
your relationship? Do you both appreciate and trust each other more,
and are you more comfortable with each other because of sex not being an
issue?
I'm only 19! Sex
is not an issue.
From kinetix99: How
fun is it making Roswell?
Loads.
From starpriestess:
How's the recording going? Will all the tracks be as hauntingly
beautiful, yet admittedly dark, as Siren, Bruised and Tattoo?
I promise beautiful
things.
From riophoenix: What films are you
doing? Any dramas? Comedies?
I finished Traffic
about two months ago. It's definitely a drama. The subject is
drug trafficking.
From dfreespirit83: I
just wanted to tell you, your hair looks gorgeous long and curly. I
don't know how your hair could have grown so fast, though - are you
wearing extensions?
The powers of the
little green people were on my side.
From vesta: What
brands of cosmetics are used on the show? Everyone always looks so
polished. The lip colours are always fabulous.
We use pretty normal
stuff, ranging from Mac and Stilla to Bobbi Brown and Shiseido. I
use a lot of Shiseido products.
From babyvulpix107: What
do you like to do when you're not taping?
I like to sing, paint
and make music.
From rain_5_2000: Your
name is very different. Where does it come from, and what does it
mean - if anything at all?
My name was made up by
my sister from my given name; it kind of stuck.
From ilovesalma: What
type of music do you listen to?
Björk, Nine Inch
Nails, Fiona Apple, the Beatles, the Beastie Boys, Poe, Pantera and Black
Sabbath.
From bren_maja_no1fan: Okay, everyone wants to know: What kind of boyfriend
is Brendan? Sweet? Spontaneous? Romantic? What is
the nicest, sweetest or most romantic thing he has done for you?
Brendan is a great
person to be friends with. He's fun like a sleepover party.
From rufustee: Do
you ever tease each other about who is the magazine-cover sex symbol of
the week?
No. It's obvious
that it's me! I mean, hello?! No, I'm totally kidding - I'm
definitely not the "pretty" girl on this show, so if there is
ever any argument, I head to craft services to get me some food.
