Alicia Machado is a beauty queen, model, actress and an actor. She was born Yoseph Alicia Machado at Maracay in Venezuela in December 6th, 1976. Alicia is of mixed blood. Her dad was Spanish and her mother Cuban. Through her entire life she's made an impact on the beauty industry through pageants, television, and the film industry. Alicia Machado began her rise to fame when, at the age of 19, she was awarded the title Miss Venezuela representing Yaracuy. She was awarded Miss Universe 1996 one year after being crowned Miss Venezuela. She became the fourth Venezuelan winner of the title. But her time as Miss Universe was marred by controversy and negative media attention as she grew weight in the course of her tenure. Donald Trump who was the Miss Universe Organization's president in the time of her election publicly ridiculed her for the weight gain. He called her "Miss Piggy" as well as made her take part in exercises before the journalists. This incident sparked a bitter dispute among Alicia Trump with Donald Trump.
