Sofia Vergara
Age: 38
Occupation: Actress
Previous TIME 100 appearances: 0
Even among her incredibly talented ensemble castmates on ABC's hit comedy Modern Family, Sofia Vergara stands out. And no, it's not just because of her physical assets — though she is distractingly beautiful. It's also because the Colombian-born actress is hilarious. As Gloria the trophy wife, she manages to use fiery Latina stereotypes and English malapropisms ("He scared the baby cheeses out of me!") to get a laugh while at the same time subverting them with a wry wink meant for anyone who might think she's just eye candy.
