Daisy Fuentes
When Daisy was three years old, the Fuentes family moved to Madrid, Spain, and finally emigrated to Harrison, New Jersey four years later. While studying communications and journalism at Bergen Community College, Daisy was selected as “weather girl” on WXTV Channel 41, Univision’s New York affiliate. It didn’t take long for the journalism student to move up the ranks, to become news anchor and reporter for the evening news. The Latino television audience took a liking to the talented and beautiful 19-year-old reporter, and soon did a huge network: MTV. In 1988, Daisy moved on to work as news anchor at WNJU Channel 47, Telemundo’s New York affiliate. That same year, she had the confidence to send a demo tape and letter to MTV. She soon retired her news reports for music reports, as host of MTV Internacional, which later became MTV Latino. While hosting and VJ-ing on MTV, Daisy began to develop her acting credits with a role on the ABC soap opera, Loving. She followed her stint on the soap with appearances on shows such as Dream On, The Larry Sanders Show and Cybill.
