Have you ever seen A Fantastic Woman (2017)? If not, you should! The film (in Spanish: Una mujer fantástica) is a 2017 drama about Marina, the character played by Daniela Vega. Marina is a young transgender woman living in Santiago, Chile, who works as a singer and a waitress. I loved it.
After the movie got a lot of publicity, at the 90th Academy Awards in 2018, Daniela became the first transgender person in history to be a presenter at the Academy Awards ceremony. In addition, Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world. So you cannot miss her book either.
In 2018, Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world. She was born as the first child of Igor Alejandro Vega Inostroza and Sandra del Carmen Hernandez de la Cuadra. She began studying opera with her grandmother at the age of eight. As a child, she attended an all-boys school where she was bullied because of her feminity as she realized she was a girl and began to transition.
Her family was supportive of her, despite the conservative nature of Chile at that time. She described suffering depression for the three years of transition due to the lack of opportunities in Chile to progress her education or express herself, but the fasmily encouraged her to go to beauty school, and later theater school, which was the stepping stone for her great acting career in the next years to come, including the appearance in such movies as "The Guest" (2014), "A Fantastic Woman" (2017), "The night, unsheltered" (2019), and "Un Domingo de Julio en Santiago" (2020).
