Stephanie Beatriz Bischoff Alvizuri was born in Neuquén, Argentina, on February 10, 1981, to a Colombian father and a Bolivian mother. She moved to the United States at the age of two with her parents and a younger sister. Beatriz grew up in Webster, Texas, outside of Houston, and attended Clear Brook High School. As a child, her mother took Beatriz and her sister to arts exhibits and events, something she credits for raising her awareness of potential careers in the arts. She became interested in acting after taking speech and debate as an elective, which allowed her to appear in plays. She became a United States citizen at 18.
