Early life
Igor Alejandro Vega Inostroza and Sandra del Carmen Hernandez de la Cuadra were born on June 3, 1989 in San Miguel, Costa Province, as the first child of Igor Alejandro Vega Inostroza and Sandra del Carmen Hernandez de la Cuadra. At the age of eight, Vega began studying opera with her grandmother. She attended an all-boys school, where she was mocked. It was while she was attending an all-boys school in her teens that she learned she was a girl and began to transition. Despite Chile's conservative nature at the time, her parents and younger brother Nicolás were incredibly supportive of her. Vega vowed depression for three years as a result of a lack of opportunities in Chile to grow her education or express herself, but Vega's parents were influenced and encouraged her to attend beauty school and later theater school.
Career
Vega was invited by a writer and director to collaborate on a stage piece about transitioning, relying on her work as a foundation. Her involvement led to her participation in Martin de la Parra's 2011 play La mujer Mariposa (The Butterfly Woman). This piece, in addition to being able to perform, lasted eight years in Santiago. During this period, she worked in more pieces, most notably in Migrante (Migrant), a piece on migration. Vega's fame was boosted when she appeared in Manuel Garca's hit song "Maria" in 2014. The song and music video were produced in association with a gay suicide prevention group in order to raise hopes and prevent suicide among gay teens. She made her screen debut in 2014 in The Guest (La visita), portraying a trans woman at her father's funeral.
A Fantastic Woman (2017), directed by Sebastián Lelio, was among the films screened at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival, and critics applauded her performance. A Fantastic Woman shares the tale of Marina (played by Vega) and Orlando (played by Francisco Reyes), an older man with whom she is in love and planning a future. Marina is forced to confront family and society, as well as fight back to show who she is: a wonderful woman after Orlando fell ill and died. "Vega's energetic, expressive, and subtly distressed appearance, not political praise," critic Guy Lodge said in a Variety review of Vega's success. "It's a multi-layered, emotionally polymorphic act of acting, nurtured by her producer, who maintains full transparency on Marina's health without pushing her where she wouldn't go." Her name was strongly considered for an Academy Award as Best Actress. She received the Best Actress in a Foreign Language Film at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. A Fantastic Woman went on to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and Vega became the first openly transgender person to attend the Academy Awards ceremony in 2018.
In 2018, it was announced that Vega would appear in the Netflix miniseries Tales of the City.
