Delfino Mahandra is a versatile person. She manages to act in films, write pictures and lyrics, engage in dancing, producing and raising children.
Biographical facts
Maria Alejandra Delfino (Mahandra) was born in the capital of Venezuela - Caracas. It happened in 1981, February 20. The abbreviation "Mahander" arose due to the fact that the sister of actress Maraya could not pronounce the name "Maria Alejandra."
The biography of Mahandra Delfino actually begins in 1984, when her parents Enrique Delfino and Mary Helmund emigrated to America, in Miami. Therefore, we can say that the girl grew up and was brought up in an environment inherent in Native Americans.
Papa Alejandra was once known in his homeland in Argentina as a composer. Love for music was transmitted to his daughter from him.
From childhood, Mahandra was a creative person. That is why she went to study at an art school, which she graduated with honors.
The girl’s best friend was Samantha, daughter of Morris Gibb - a member of the Bee Jees group. When the friends turned 11 years old, they became members of the girl group "China Doll". Morris Gibb contributed to the fact that the team took part in a charity concert, which was held in Miami Beach. After a couple of years, having gained experience, the girls left the group and for some time performed as a duet.
Actress
After leaving the musical group, Mahandra decided to take up a film career. Parents were worried about throwing their daughter from music to cinema and set a condition for her - if in 6 months her undertaking from the cinema was unsuccessful, then she would have to go back to school and get her thoughts on cinema out of her head.
Such a harsh ultimatum forced the stubborn Alejandra to take decisive action. In just a few weeks, an agent was found, and two months later the girl accepted the offer to participate in the film "Zeus and Roxanne." She was only 14, and she was inexperienced in this type of activity.
After such a development of events, the parents decided that they needed to help her daughter in her endeavors and moved to Los Angeles. The move was justified - almost immediately, Delfino got a role in the Tony Danz show. Appearance helped her in this - she was very similar to the daughter of a TV show host. However, after a year, ratings began to fall, and the project was closed.
In 1999, Alejandra participated in the comedy series Katie Joplin, which was closed after the first seven episodes. This was followed by supporting roles in the parody of the horror film "Well, a scary movie", the drama "Traffic", the melodrama "Life as It Is" and the role of Natalie in the dramatic comedy "The Secret to the Life of Girls", where Mahandra's partners were Eugene Levy and Linda Hamilton .
One of the last works was the series of the comedy genre "Friends have a better life", where Mahandra played Andy. In total, the actress's professional account has more than 25 movie roles.
"Alien City"
The most famous role of Mahandra Delfino, films with the participation of which are quite well known, was the heroine of Maria DeLuca in the youth science fiction series "Aliens City" (Roswell).
The project started in 1999 and lasted 3 seasons. Delfino was one of the main roles of the project. Maria DeLuca is Elizabeth Parker's best friend. She combines studies with part-time waitresses in the Parker cafe, where many important events of the series take place.
It is interesting that Mahandra was first tried on the role of Liz. But she lied about her age, and the role went to another.
The heroine of Alejandra is fond of music, like herself. After leaving school, DeLuca leaves the city for New York to record an album.
For the role in the film, the audience fell in love with Delfino Mahandra and appreciated her acting talent.
Music
The love of music did not pass with Mahandra and with the advent of movie roles. In Alien City, she performed several of her songs. Alejandra did not look for agents or producers, but simply composed songs and posted them on her official website.
In 2001, the girl released a mini-album. The full-length Tarte album was released in 2007 through RVCR's own company.
The style of Mahandra's music is quite difficult to determine. It looks like a mixture of a romantic ballad with rock elements. Delfino sang a duet with Frenchwoman Robert - fans were delighted with this work.
The main thing that distinguishes the works of Delfino is the desire to share his own experiences, his inner world with the public. This is what is inherent in a real author’s song.
Personal life
Delfino Mahandra first married in 2007 to actor, screenwriter and producer Devon Hammersall. They were partners in the movie Alien City. Their marriage lasted about a year. Then they divorced peacefully.
The second attempt took place in 2011. Actor and singer David Walton became the second husband of Alejandra. The first child, the daughter of Cessilia Dolphin, was born in June 2012. And at the end of 2013, a son was born - Louis Augustus.
Alejandra's husband has a large and friendly family - four sisters and two brothers. Delfino gets along well with them, and on family holidays they try to get together.
