Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado is gearing up for her film debut, reports The Associated Press.
No word on the movie's title or Machado's role, but the film is in English and is wrapping up in Miami.
"I'm really happy with my role," Machado said. "I can't speak too much about the movie because the project is almost over, but I'm definitely in it."
The Venezuelan model, who during her beauty reign in 1996 made headlines for weight problems, also said she's off to Mexico this week to record the finishing touches on her first album, which will hit music stores at the end of the year.
Machado made her small-screen debut in 1998 in a soap opera titled "Infierno en el paraiso" (Hell in Paradise).
