Alicia Machado (born December 6, 1978) is a former Miss Universe. Her full name is Yoseph Alicia Machado Fajardo and she is from Venezuela. Alicia Machado won Venezuela's 1995 beauty pageant and went on to win the Miss Universe 1996 crown in Las Vegas. See pictures, videos and articles about Alicia Machado here.
During 2004–2005, she pursued a career as a TV commercial model with particular success in promoting a dieting product. She also became engaged to Venezuelan baseball player Bobby Abreu, then with the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2005, Machado appeared on a Spanish reality show called La Granja ("The Farm") and caused scandal when she was filmed having sex with another show participant. After the film and photos became public, Abreu broke off their engagement.
On February 19, 2006, Machado debuted on a Mexican reality show named Cantando Por Un Sueño ("Singing For A Dream") a program in the line of the previous Bailando Por Un Sueño ("Dancing For A Dream") in which the winner has the chance for a dream to come true. The show is very similar to Dancing with the Stars (U.S.) and Mira Quién Baila ("Look Who's Dancing") (Spain).
Machado appeared in (and on the cover of) the February 2006 issue of Playboy magazine's Mexican edition, thus becoming the first and only Miss Universe to pose nude for Playboy. She dedicated her photographs to Donald Trump. Later she posed nude for the American edition as well, appearing in its October 2007 issue (though not on the cover this time).
One of her movies was titled I love Miami, sharing credits with Ofelia Medina.
She currently lives in Mexico City.
