While Chile has had a strong and successful history at Miss Universe since the beginning, the country has somewhere lost its successful streak with remaining unplaced since 2005. This year, however, Sofia Depassier has brought back the country’s hope for winning the crown again. Sofia is 24 years of age and stands 5 feet 8.5 inches tall. Born in the capital city of Santiago, Sofia migrated to the United States at a young age. She’s a professional model, a beautician and an actress. Not a stranger in the world of beauty pageants, she participated at Miss Teen South Florida 2004 where she was awarded Miss Photogenic.
