Sofía Vergara

While still living in her native land Colombia, Sofía Vergara used to watch the Spanish-dubbed version of the US sitcom “Married with Children” featuring her co-star-to-be Ed O'Neill.

After she landed the role as Ed's wife Gloria Delgado-Pritchett in “Modern Family” nearly two decades later, she was disappointed to learn that Ed 'spoke' no Spanish.

Sofia's role as Gloria in the vastly popular comedy series has earned her four successive Emmy nominations for Best Supporting Actress.
