Justina Machado’s lives by the motto that “It’s Never too Late.” After working for years as a supporting actor in popular television series, including HBO’s “Six Feet Under” and USA’s “The Queen of the South,” she landed her first lead role when she was in her early 40’s in the critically acclaimed show “One Day at A Time.” Like her on-screen character, Penelope Alvarez, in the re-imagined series from the 70’s, Machado is passionate about challenging stereotypes about what it means to be a Latinx family. She is especially proud to be part of a show that made its name by showcasing representation in all its forms, from PTSD, immigration, addiction, LGBQT, all of which she believes can help change the narrative. And because “it’s never too late,” she will be making her directorial debut next season as the show moves from Netflix to its new home at Pop TV.
