Laura Harring Bio: Early Life, Parents, and Education

The daughter of Raymond Herring, a developer and organic farmer, and his ex-wife Maria Elena Martinez-Cairo, a spiritual teacher, real estate investor and a secretary as well, Laura’s parents divorced when she was only seven years old, and she lived in Mexico until she turned ten, then moved to the USA, settling in San Antonio, Texas. Two years later, Laura was involved in a drive-by shooting and suffered a shot to her head, but luckily the bullet missed her brain just by a millimeter. She fully recovered eventually and was ready for high school, but when she turned 16, Laura managed to persuade her parents to send her to Switzerland to study at Aiglon College. After acquiring a degree from the prestigious educational institution, Laura returned to the US, and started a life on her own, away from her parents’ influence, settling in El Paso, Texas, and it was at that time that Laura launched her career.

Career Beginnings

Laura soon started entering beauty pageants, and ultimately became Miss USA for the 1985 year, so progressing  to the Miss Universe pageant, where she finished in the top ten. Thanks to her newfound fame, Laura signed contracts with several exclusive modeling agencies, which led to her travelling across Asia and Europe, and in India where she was a social worker. Upon returning from her trip around the world, Laura started studying theatre at the London Academy of Performing Arts, and also trained in the Italian Commedia dell’arte, subsequently  joining in Latin dances too, primarily the Argentine tango.
