Cristina Saralegui is a 30-year veteran journalist who is recognized as one of the most influential role models for today’s Hispanic woman. She is strong-willed, successful, savvy and committed to making a difference. In August 2005, Cristina was named one of the “25 Most Influential Hispanics in America” by Time Magazine and in October of the same year, she became the first Latina to be inducted into the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame, where she joins such television legends as Walter Cronkite, Barbara Walters and Johnny Carson. Cristina sees her #1 role in media and in life as a motivator for women and a champion of a healthy, gracious and self-empowered lifestyle. In 1989, Cristina made her television debut as host and executive producer of The Cristina Show on Univision, the nation's leading Spanish-language television network. In 2007, Cristina celebrates 18 years on the air and after 12 Emmys and nearly 4,000 shows, The Cristina Show is still one of the highest rated programs on Spanish-language television. It is also seen throughout Latin America as well as in most European countries. In the U.S.,The Cristina Show airs Monday nights at 10 PM (ET) on the Univision Network. The Cuban-born media mogul is the first Spanish-language television personality to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Additionally, she has received numerous awards such as the Foundation of American Women in Radio and Television’s “Gracie Allen Tribute Award,” AmFar’s “National Community Service Award,” The Simon Weisenthal Center’s 2004 “International Distinguished Achievement Award” as well as The Hispanic Heritage Foundation’s “Arts Award” and the Imagen Foundation’s “Lifetime Achievement Award.” Cristina has also participated in many prestigious events such as the Museum of Television and Radio’s William S. Paley TV Festival and The National Association of Television Producers and Executives (NATPE) Women in Communications panel. Cristina and Elizabeth Taylor together addressed The United Nations on the subject of AIDS research and education, one of the many causes for which she passionately works. She has been presented with proclamations and keys to cities around the world and is also listed in numerous biographical references including "Who's Who in Professional and Executive Women" and “The Top 100 Hispanic Influential People in the U.S.” Cristina’s life story was part of The Museum of Tolerance exhibit: Finding Our Families/Finding Ourselves, an effort by the museum to highlight our human similarities, especially as it pertains to the multi-racial rainbow of American immigrants
