Lidia Porto

Lidia Porto was born in Barranquilla, Colombia, on February 7, 1963. At age three, her mother was hired by the University of Houston, so the family moved to Texas.  Porto learned English by memorizing the Velveteen Rabbit and singing along with the Lettermen. Because she attended school in Colombia, she speaks fluent Spanish and French.  She started acting at Dulles High School in Stafford, Texas, under professor Myrtis Brooks, who was born in the late 1800's.… (meer)
