Cachita (born c. 1970) is a transexual actress from Cuba. Like Argentine actress Florencia De La V, Cachita refuses to make her birth name and date be known by the public.
Cachita was a struggling actor when she found work at Univision's "El Gordo y La Flaca" show, in 1998. There, she became friends with co-hosts Raul De Molina, Lily Estefan and Marta Rodriguez. Many guest entertainers have told her that she looks a lot like Estefan.
Cachita admitted on an internet interview that she was able to have a sex change surgery, becoming a female. She told her fans that she had always felt she had a female mind and was trapped in a male body. She has also admitted to wearing a blond wig; her normal hair color is dark.
Cachita is famous among Univision viewers for her entrances to the "El Gordo y La Flaca" show: She always falls to the floor when she enters the studio. Since the show consists mainly of gossip-talking, Cachita is often brought in to talk about scandals; such was the case when she intervened on the show the monday after Janet Jackson's "malfunction" at the 2004 Super Bowl.
Being a regular of "El Gordo y La Flaca" has allowed Cachita to expand her career: she has also worked as a reporter at some award shows, like "Premios Lo Nuestro" and others. Besides that, she is also a writer, with a column in the monthly magazine, TVNotas.
