Biography

edit

Elvira Cristi began her career at age 13, appearing in television commercials. She obtained the title of "Miss Rostro" (Miss Face) from the magazine Miss 17 [es] in 1994.[1] At that time, she was 17 years old, studying at the Liceo Abdón Cifuentes in Santiago, from which she graduated as a secretary. She also made appearances on the Mega TV program Mekano [es].[2] At 24, she was hired by an advertising agency in Mexico.

From 2004 to 2006, she appeared on other Mega youth series. There she was seen by director Herval Abreu [es], who brought her onto the cast of Lola [es] on Canal 13. She has gone on to perform in several Chilean fiction productions, including the 2017 feature film Cold Side[3] and the 2019 telenovela Gemelas.[4]

In 2015, she launched a line of shoes for Dafiti.[5]

For eight years she was the romantic partner of Álvaro España, vocalist of the punk band Fiskales Ad-Hok.[6]

In the early 2000s, Cristi became vegetarian, and two years later, vegan. However, she abandoned this practice in 2015 and is currently flexitarian.[7]
