Alicia has a variety of background with her father Spanish and her mother is from Cuban origin. Her career has included a significant character in films, television and beauty contests all her life. Machado's meteoric rise to fame began when she was crowned Miss Venezuela in 1995 at the age of 19, from the country of Yaracuy. The winner was Miss Universe 1996 one year after being crowned Miss Venezuela, becoming an unprecedented fourth Venezuelan finalist of this title. Her tenure as Miss Universe however was marked by negative press coverage and controversy due to the fact she gained weight. Donald Trump, who owned the Miss Universe Organization at the time, publicly ridiculed her about her weight gain, even calling her "Miss Piggy" and requiring her to exercise before the press. This incident started a conflict among Alicia Trump and Donald Trump. Alicia Alicia Alicia
