What we didn't know about the CoverGirl and Modern Family star, though, is that she is actually a natural blonde, but she dyed her hair dark when she didn't fit Hollywood's expectations of what a Latina should look like.

"I’m a natural blonde, like my siblings," the Colombian actress told Parade, in a 2011 interview that resurfaced today, which is also her birthday. "When I started auditioning for American acting roles, they didn’t know where to put me. A blond Latina? In L.A. they’re used to Latin women looking more Mexican. But if you go to Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia, everybody is blond."
Here's a naturally blonde baby Vergara looking adorable, but also impressively fierce!
