Biography

Elvira Cristi began her career at age 13, appearing in television commercials. She obtained the title of "Miss Rostro" (Miss Face) from the magazine Miss 17 in 1994.[1] At that time, she was 17 years old, studying at the Liceo Abdón Cifuentes in Santiago, from which she graduated as a secretary. She also made appearances on the Mega TV program Mekano.[2] At 24, she was hired by an advertising agency in Mexico.

From 2004 to 2006, she appeared on other Mega youth series. There she was seen by director Herval Abreu, who brought her onto the cast of Lola on Canal 13. She has gone on to perform in several Chilean fiction productions, including the 2017 feature film Cold Side[3] and the 2019 telenovela Gemelas.[4]

In 2015, she launched a line of shoes for Dafiti.[5]

For eight years she was the romantic partner of Álvaro España, vocalist of the punk band Fiskales Ad-Hok.[6]

In the early 2000s, Cristi became vegetarian, and two years later, vegan. However, she abandoned this practice in 2015 and is currently flexitarian.[7]
