[edit] Overview
Salazar began as a model and then charged to fame with her appearance as an actress in the comedy show "Poné a Francella". Though the political fact that she was a niece of Argentinian singer and then governor, Ramón "Palito" Ortega helped her into the acting world, it was by her own conditions that she began a successful career. Given her exhuberant figure, she began to star in different street theatre works, such as "Pijamas" becoming one of the leading media figures in Argentina.

Also she appeared on Chilean television, invited by Televisión Nacional de Chile on the program "De Pé a Pá" on October 24, 2004
In February of 2005 she was voted "Queen of the International Music Festival of Viña del Mar" in Chile, and became a very popular personality in that country. She took part in various fashion shows, and in that same year she was the star of "Abtao Fashion 2005", an event in Peru, along with 70 other Peruvian models who modeled the latest fashions.
