Julie Gonzalo was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and raised in Miami, Florida. This 27 year old Latina, ordinarily though of as American due to her blonde hair and blue eyes, was born and raised in Argentina until her family decided to move to Miami, Florida where she didnÃ?´t speak a word of English. She was barely 8 years old at the time. Gonzalo states that “The hardest part about moving here (the States) was the language”I learned at school ” and by watching TV.”

The Gonzalo family moved from Buenos Aires to Miami where Julie found her passion for acting as she began taking classes in theatre. She developed a love for acting and her whole life was fascinated by the notion of making people laugh. After a period of time she relocated solo to Los Angeles in the hope to see what may occur in the way of a career in the industry. Luck came her way and she became surrounded by good people which helped her in her endeavours to further her acting, as within 6 months of being situated in Los Angeles she was involved with her first film.

Ordinarily when she wins a role for any film she celebrates by balling her eyes out for gratitude that those who helped her get the role had enough faith in her to pull it off. She attributes her success as a Blessing from God for being in the right place at the right time. She has very fluent Spanish and is hoping to release movies within the Spanish market as well as the Western. She has a great sense of pride for her culture. However even so she still maintains she is American as on an Argentinean website that speaks of upcoming events which interviews celebrities and so forth was asked.

She’s breaking the stereotype for White Latinas everywhere, letting the world know that not all Latin women look like Jennifer Lopez some are, blonde blue eyed beauties. The starlet is 5′ 8″ she can be seen in the music videos “Heaven” for popular Hispanic boy band Menudo and “I Need You Now” for Bart Baldwin. It has recently been reported that she is dating writer/director Brinton Bryan (born December 20, 1981).

She is perhaps best known for her roles as Parker Lee in Veronica Mars, Shelby in A Cinderella Story and Maggie Dekker in Eli Stone. She has been in two movies with Chad Michael Murray and Lindsay Lohan: Freaky Friday (2003) and A Cinderella Story (2004). She also starred in two movies with Jamie Lee Curtis: Freaky Friday (2003) and Christmas with the Kranks (2004).
