BiographyNatalia Marisa Oreiro Iglesias (Spanish pronunciation: [naˈtalja oˈɾejɾo]; born 19 May 1977) is a Uruguayan actress, singer, songwriter, model, television presenter and fashion designer. She began her career in telenovelas but since 2008 she has switched to work primarily in films. Oreiro has worked on social awareness shows and events for organizations like Greenpeace and UNICEF, the latter of which designated her as ambassador for Argentina and Uruguay in September 2011.

Her starring role as Milagros Espósito on Muñeca Brava (1998–99) brought her widespread international fame, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet republics, and Israel, where her popularity endured following the telenovela’s run, which has been rebroadcast multiple times. She has also embarked on several tours and special performances in these regions. The term "Oreiromania" was coined to describe the fan frenzy surrounding her. She has been featured in Esquire magazine's "The Sexiest Woman Alive" list.

As a film actress, Oreiro debuted with a starring role in An Argentinian in New York (1998) and went on to receive a Silver Condor nomination for the comedy-drama Music on Hold (2009). She solidified her status as a leading lady with the historical dramas Clandestine Childhood (2011) and The German Doctor (2013), both of which were shortlisted for the Academy Awards, as well as the comedy-drama Miss Tacuarembó (2010) and the romantic comedies My First Wedding (2011) and Super Crazy (2018). She has also starred in films such as I'm Gilda (2015), Expiration Date (2023), and The Woman in Line (2025).

As a singer, Oreiro has released three studio albums, eight soundtracks for film and television, and twenty-one singles (including three as a featured artist). Selling over 10 million records worldwide, she has been nominated for the MTV Video Music Awards and the Latin Grammy Awards. She has also expanded into television hosting, presenting reality series such as Got Talent Uruguay (2020–2022), La Voz Uruguay (2022–2023) and ¿Quién es la Máscara? Argentina (2022).
