On the show, Turbay plays “a role very different from me, although sometimes at home they call me a witch“, she laughingly remarked during a telephone interview with EFE from Los Angeles. However, she added that the role is “a challenge because of its complexity and depth“. Antonia is a victim of the Inquisition, a spirit who is not at peace and who now arrives to complicate the lives of the protagonists, a telepath played by Anna Paquin and a vampire portrayed by Stephen Moyer.
Turbay, who was born in Houston to Colombian parents, was crowned Miss Colombia in 1991 and the next year was a Miss Universe finalist. After finishing her studies in psychology, she focused on her modeling and show business television news anchor careers. Her work as an actress began in 2002 with a role in the soap opera “Las noches de Luciana”, while her official entry into the English-language market came in 2007 with the acclaimed TV series “Cane”. Although it only ran for a year, it made a very good impression on critics and producers. That is why at this time the 41-year-old Turbay’s agenda is packed with recurring roles in two other series: “Royal Pains” and “The Secret Life of an American Teenager”.
