Deborah Funes was born and raised in Argentina and is one of\u00a0four daughters of a traditional family with origins from Spain and Belgium.\u00a0 Growing up she had many talents and hobbies that she will share later in this interview.\u00a0 Following her family ambitions, she began a career of Advertising and Marketing at the University.\u00a0 However, her country was struggling economically and corruption was getting worse. Taking all her talents she decided to move to the United States. Settling in Miami, she called South Beach her new home.\u00a0 In no time her second home was New York City and between New York and Miami she was attending dozens of weekly modeling calls which included a lingerie, pin up and glamour modeling, performer for music videos, Latin TV shows among other media outlets.\u00a0 Her modeling soon expanded to all over the country.<\/p>\n

Five Quick Questions with Deborah Funes<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Scream Farm<\/em> opened up many horror film opportunities for you, but you\u2019re also starring in the upcoming drama Astronomy Walkers<\/em>.\u00a0 Are you trying to expand beyond horror and maybe star in even a comedy in the near future?<\/p>\n

DEBORAH: As a professional actress I can play any role in all types of movies, if the role fits me well. I never focus on one genre. During my acting career I had a supporting role in a romantic comedy short film, a lead role in a funny TV commercial for MTV, and I also had been a regular actress on comedy TV shows for the Latin Americans for many years. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

My lead role on Wisp, crime TV series, is one more making it evident that I am involved in all type of genres. \u00a0Astronomy Walkers for example is a romantic comedy drama where I have a nice supporting role. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the last couple years I\u2019ve had supporting and lead roles in four horror feature films and I have in schedule many others, but of course, the horror fanatics normally don’t watch other types of movies so they will never see me outside the horror scene….Hope they don’t get jealous because is an honor to be call Scream Queen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being a model and actress that\u2019s traveled a lot, you must have visited many exotic and exciting locations.\u00a0 Can you share some of the most memorable and any upcoming locations that you\u2019re looking forward to shooting at?<\/p>\n

DEBORAH: As a model, I have been in amazing locations, some of them were really unforgettable like the island Palominito in Puerto Rico, Fire Island in Long Island, a 16 room Greenwich mansion in Connecticut, the presidential suite at the Caesars Palace in Vegas, Salt Lake City in Utah and amazing locations\u00a0 all over Miami and islands around.
