To hear Daniela Vega tell it, her career as an actor is but a string of happy accidents. She may currently be earning accolades for her captivating performance as Marina Vidal in Sebastián Lelio’s “A Fantastic Woman,” but she never was one to fantasize about making a living as a performer. It took her years to start thinking of herself as an actor and not just someone who was trying her hand at acting. She was as surprised as anyone to receive a script she’d been a consultant on years prior to find herself (or someone very similar to her) in the lead role.
As the star of the acclaimed indie, which picked up an Oscar nomination for best foreign language film on Jan. 23, Vega is in almost every single scene of the film. We see her character grappling with the loss of her partner, who dies suddenly and leaves her to deal with his ex-wife and son; bitter over the relatively recent divorce and ashamed of his relationship with someone who wasn’t, in their eyes, “normal,” his family makes Marina’s grief all the harder to contain. Vega is gorgeous in her restraint.
But if she didn’t daydream as a kid of being an actor, what did she fantasize about being? Her answer is as simple as it is telling: a woman. While her peers were busy charting their future paths during their teenage years, Vega was committed to making this a reality.
She began her transition at an early age, and it took over her life. “There’s a loss of consciousness when it comes to who you are, physically, when you go through that transition,” she tells Backstage, “especially with so few tools and such scant information as I had when I was 14, 14 years ago! It was like being in the trenches and needing to go out there and talk to people who didn’t even speak my language.” The transition pushed her away from everything, and Vega eventually even gave up the artistic outlet that had first entranced her: singing.

Daniela Vega, ‘A Fantastic Woman’ star, becomes first openly transgender Oscars presenter
Daniela Vega made history at the Oscars Sunday night.
The 28-year-old Chilean actress, who made waves in last year’s “A Fantastic Woman,” became the first openly transgender presenter at the Oscars when she introduced Sufjan Stevens and St. Vincent, performing “Mystery of Love” from “Call Me By Your Name,” Sunday night.
Vega, a trained opera singer, began transitioning at 17 years old at home in Chile.
“The political and social situation isn't that much different in Chile than it is (in the U.S.), in that there is a weird feeling when it comes to transgender people in general,” she previously told the Los Angeles Times.
“But we have a lot to contribute in the sciences, arts and every single discipline. We’re fighting for liberty, to be heard. I see the world is trying to change fast, but in some areas, that change is being blocked.”
“A Fantastic Woman,” about a transgender woman whose boyfriend dies suddenly, won for best foreign language film.
