Marisa Carolina Ramirez (born September 15, 1977 in Los Angeles, California) is an American actress.
Early life
Ramirez attended an all-girls' school in Alhambra, California at the Ramona Convent Secondary School. Her career began at age 13 when she was brought to the attention of a major L.A. modelling agency and began acting in commercials.
Career
Ramirez is possibly best known for her roles in daytime soap operas. After several guest appearances on Days of our Lives and The Bold and the Beautiful, Ramirez finally got her big break in July 2000, when she was cast in the contract role of supermodel Gia Campbell on General Hospital. She left this role in December 2002 to star in the short-lived ABC drama, Miracles. During her time on GH, she was nominated for ALMA and NAACP Awards.[1]
In April 2006, she joined the cast of The Young and the Restless as Jabot Cosmetics public relations consultant Carmen Mesta, but was let go from the role after only five months when her character was killed off. She briefly rejoined the show in early 2007 as Carmen's cousin, Ines Vargas.
She is of Mexican, Irish and Native American descent.
She moved to Colombia to record Mental, next to Chris Vance and Annabella Sciorra. On January 2010, she made a guest appearance as Francesca, Esteban's soon to be wife on The Suite Life on Deck.
Personal life
She married Nathan Lavezoli on September 22, 2002.[citation needed]
