Like a good Tica, Madeleine is not shy about getting naked before the cameras!

Ever wonder why when watching Madeleine Stowe, the start in the films  Revenge, Stakeout, Unlawful Entry, The Last of the Mohicans, Blink, China Moon, 12 Monkeys, The General’s Daughter, and We Were Soldiers, you thought she was hot?

Well, that is all part to her being half tica – medio Tica in Spanish.  Know you know why she is so hot!

Stowe was born at the Queen of Angels Hospital, in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California and raised in Eagle Rock, a suburb of Los Angeles. Her mother, Mireya (née Mora Steinvorth), had come from a prominent family in Costa Rica. Her father, Robert Stowe, was a civil engineer from a “poor Oregon family”.

One of Stowe’s maternal great-great-grandfathers, politician José Joaquín Mora Porras, was a younger brother of President Juan Rafael Mora Porras, who governed Costa Rica between 1849-1859. Another one of Stowe’s maternal great-great-grandfathers was Bruno Carranza, President of Costa Rica in 1870, albeit briefly, as he resigned three months after taking power. His wife, Stowe’s great-great-grandmother, Gerónima Montealegre, was the sister of President José María Montealegre Fernández, who governed Costa Rica from 1859-1863. One of Stowe’s maternal great-grandfathers was a German immigrant to Costa Rica.

Now, you can check out all kinds of photos of Madeleine on Google, Facebook, etc… but here is a collection you get to see more of her than the rest. Enjoy.
