Hispanic beauty,Michella was born on December 30th 1984 in South Africa to Portuguese parents. At the age of ten a production company spotted her talent for dancing and acting and offered the young Michella a contract as a TV presenter for a popular kids TV programme. Fearing her education would suffer, her mother and stepfather declined the contract and encouraged her to follow a more academic route.
Michella finished her education at sixteen and through sheer determination followed her heart and on moving back to Portugal, began her career as a professional dancer (doing Street Dance) in Portuguese shows. She also sang on a Portuguese radio show.
Her ambition for success bought her to England at nineteen where she pursued her career as an actress, starting out in "Frances Tuesday." She continued with dancing but this time teaching it rather than performing on stage.
Recently Michella has teamed up with award winning Spanish director Miguel Alcantud to work on a comedy script she wrote in which she plays Italian dancer, Nina. Miguel, maker of the film "Impulsos" and "Anestazsi" starring Derek Jacobi, impressed with her passion and determination, has asked her to audition for his next film, "Sketches."
Her classic dark looks and talent for accents allows her to be flexible with her roles and has recently been asked to play an Egyptian in a film about Nefertiti which is too be announced in the near future.
Besides dancing, acting, writing, singing and modeling, her other abilities include speaking fluent Portuguese, Afrikaans, English and basic French and Spanish.
She is said to be our screens next Catherine Zeta Jones!
