Andrea Frigerio

Andrea Frigerio, born Andrea Luisa Mitchelstein on August 30, 1961 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, began her professional life on the runway, quickly gaining recognition as a fashion model in the early 1980s. Her striking presence and charismatic smile led her to become the face of several beauty brands, a role that cemented her status in Argentine popular culture. In 1989 she transitioned to television, debuting as the host of the popular show "Doce más uno", where her natural wit and improvisational talent won audiences nationwide. The following years saw her expand her on‑screen repertoire, appearing in a hidden‑camera segment of Videomatch in 1996 and anchoring her own prerecorded game program "Viva la Diferencia" in 1998, both of which enjoyed solid ratings. By the turn of the millennium, Frigerio had become a familiar face on Telefe, co‑leading the humor series Poné a Francella alongside Guillermo Francella from 2001 to 2002, and later delivering memorable guest spots in Son Amores (2003) and Los Roldán (2004‑2005). Beyond the small screen, Andrea cultivated a vibrant stage career, starring in productions such as Una Eva y Dos Salames, Money Money, and Taxi, where her comedic timing and dramatic range were praised by critics. She returned to television in 2007 as the host of the quiz show "¿Sabés más que un chico de 5° grado?" on América TV, and simultaneously presented the morning program "Hola América" on Fox Sports, showcasing her versatility as both an entertainer and interviewer. In 2019 she published her first book, Belleza Emocional, blending personal insight with beauty advice, and that same year she delivered a powerhouse performance as the villainous Madama Ivonne in the telenovela Argentina, tierra de amor y venganza. Recent credits include roles in The Distinguished Citizen (2016), The Last Runway (2018), and The Extortion (2023), confirming her lasting relevance in Argentine cinema and television.
