Melissa Fumero is an American actress. Melissa is married to Cuban-born American actor David Fumero.
Melissa is the daughter of Cuban parents, who moved to the U.S. as teenagers.
She has stated:
I think that there’s a quiet strength you’re brought up around when you’re Latin, especially growing up in a Cuban family made of refugees. There definitely was an extreme work ethic — anything less than working really, really hard is unacceptable — and just a general toughness and strength that I learned from the women in my family and my father.
