Dayanara Torres

The beautiful Puerto Rican was long linked to singer Marc Anthony. She took part and won the Miss Universe pageant that took place in Mexico City, in 1993. She was barely 18 years old when the world surrendered to her looks. Since then, she's been a part of several films and soap operas. Now she's planning her big break into Hollywood.

Amelia Vega
At only 18 years old, Dominican Amelia Vega was crowned the most beautiful woman on the planet in the 2003 Miss Universe pageant. She made her big screen debut along Andy Garcia in the film "The Lost City". Besides acting, Amelia wants to conquer the music world. A talent that, without a doubt, she inherited from her famous uncle, Juan Luis Guerra.

Denise Quiñones
In 2001, Denise became the fourth contestant from Puerto Rico to obtain the crown, and she did it not only on her own country but also, while celebrating the pageant's 50th edition. Afterwards, Denise studied film and television in New York, and she's been a part of noted theater plays such as 'Ana en el Trópico' and 'Doña Rosita la soltera'. Last but not least, she's also been seen as a guest-star on the acclaimed TV show, 'Smallville'.

Susie became the first woman with Puerto Rican and Dominican heritage to win the title of Miss USA 2003. She flew to Panama City for the Miss Universe pageant, but failed to crack the top 10. (Amelia Vega won that year). After her beauty queen days, Susie went on to guest-star on shows like "My Wife and Kids" and "Half and Half". Now she works as an MTV VJ, helping launch the network's MTV Tr3s channel.

Riyo Mori
During Miss Universe 2007, this Japanese ballerina went home with the crown. When her term ended, she wanted to start a career in TV, so she auditioned for the successful NBC sci-fi show, 'Heroes'. Even though it seemed she had everything to win
the role, ultimately the producers decided for someone else.

Vanessa Williams
In 1983, Vanessa Williams made history when she became the first African-American woman to win Miss America. However, she had to give up the title, surrounded by controversy, when Penthouse magazine published naked pictures of herself she took before competing. Still, she turned into a major star, with both Tony and Grammy nominations, a successful musical career and considerable roles in both movies and TV, the most recent one being her outstanding part as scheming Wilhemina in 'less beautiful Betty'.
