Daphne Rubin-Vega Facts

  1. Born in Panama City, Panama, Daphne had moved to the United States with her family when she was 2 years old.
  2. She had studied theater at the New Labyrinth Theater Company, a non-profit, Off-Broadway theater company in New York City, and William Esper Studio Inc., a training institution for the performing arts in Manhattan, New York. She had also undergone acting training at the Michael Howard Studios, an acting studio in New York City. After this, she had performed with a comedy group called El Barrio USA.
  3. While performing there, she had landed an audition for a new Broadway musical called Rent. She was later selected to play the role of Mimi Marquez, a 19-year-old, HIV-positive heroin addict who works as an exotic dancer. Although she was not a fan of musical plays, she had taken up the role as she felt that it could turn her career around.
  4. She had developed that role all the way to its Broadway premiere and her performance had earned her a Tony Award nomination in the category of ‘Best Actress in a Musical’. She had also won the Theatre World Award in 1996 for the same.
  5. Daphne had left the cast of the musical in April 1997 and was unable to participate in the film adaptation of Rent because she was pregnant at the time of the film’s casting and shooting.
