Alicia Machado
Alicia Machado was born Yoseph Alicia Machado in Maracay Venezuela 6 December 1976. Alicia comes from a wide family background, with her father Spanish, and her mother is of Cuban origin. Through her entire life she's left an important mark in the field of beauty pageants, TV, and film. Alicia Machado began her rise to fame when, at age 19, she won her title as Miss Venezuela representing Yaracuy. Machado was crowned Miss Universe 1996 one year following her crowning Miss Venezuela. This was an unprecedented fourth Venezuelan finalist of this title. Her time being Miss Universe was marred by the media's negative attention and controversy because she gained weight in the course of her tenure. Donald Trump, who owned the Miss Universe Organization at the time, publicly ridiculed her regarding her weight gain saying she was "Miss Piggy" and forcing her to work out before the press. The incident sparked a feud that went on for a long time among Alicia Trump.
