She's also been seen in the feature films Life As We Know It, Win Wenders' Don't Come Knocking, and The Secret Life of Girls.

The daughter of a Venezuelan father and Cuban-American mother, Majandra (Maria Alejandra) was born in Caracas, Venezuela, but moved with her family to Miami at age 3. Although she excelled in academics, she was attracted to the arts so she enrolled in ballet, singing and acting lessons and was soon performing in school plays and community theater productions.
At age 10, she danced in The Nutcracker with the Miami Ballet. The next year, Majandra joined an all-girls singing quartet named China Doll. The group, which included her best friend, Samantha Gibb, daughter of the Bee Gees' Maurice Gibb, specialized in Latin-styled pop. The group opened for the Bee Gees at a benefit concert at the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami Beach. A few years later, Majandra and Samantha left the group but continued to write and record as a duo.
Majandra has two albums of her own music: The Sicks (2001) and Tarte (2007). The Sicks was met with rave reviews and sold 12,000 units online without the benefit of any advertising budget whatsoever. Majandra toured the country in support of her album, playing live shows in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. She has also played numerous sold-out gigs in Paris, where she has a particularly large fan base. Having recorded a duet with French pop singer RoBERT, she has expanded her French fan base even more, including a music video that was broadcast throughout the country.
Majandra has been cast in ABC’s comedy pilot Family Trap with Mandy Moore (Disney's Tangled), Eva La Rue (CSI: Miami), Stockard Channing (The West Wing), Kurt Fuller (Better With You), and Erinn Hayes (Worst Week).
She is married to David Walton (Bent) and they're expecting their first child this summer.
