Indy 500 fitness – Milka Duno is smokin’ hot racer, actress, writer, and brilliant to boot
Caught in the Catchfence™
She’s the total package:
“Born in Caracas, Venezuela and now living in Miami, Florida, Duno demonstrated from an early age her competitive nature and the dedication necessary to succeed. As a young woman in Venezuela, she recognized the value of education as the first step on her path to fulfilling her dreams.
“I learned to drive when I was 12,” she explains. “I never had driving lessons, I learned how to drive by observing my parents. I learned in my mother’s car, without her even knowing.”
For Duno, however, it wasn’t about the quick glory that comes with driving a race car, it was the earned recognition that comes from being a naval engineer (her masters degrees were in Organizational Development, Naval Architecture, Marine Biology and Maritime Business.
While pursuing this career path, she began driving, and as she told Vista, “I like challenges. I love wining. I do not thrive on danger, but I do like to race all the time. I love taking risks and I welcome the competition.”
She’s also a smokin’ hot actress, playing the part of Kellie Gearbox in the 2008 movie, Speed Racer. And to top it off, she also released a bilingual children’s book called “Go, Milka,Go!”
