In 2007, she played the evil Fernanda Sanmiguel de Ferreira on the Caracol TV telenovela Nuevo Rico Nuevo Pobre.

Controversy with David Letterman

In May 2001, David Letterman joked about the 'special talent' which Noceti, the then-reigning Miss Colombia, possessed - that she was able to "swallow 50 balloons full of heroin" for the (non-existent) talent competition at Miss Universe 2001. The remark not only infuriated Nocetti, but also the people of Colombia.^[1]

Nocetti threatened to sue Letterman but later withdrew the threat after Letterman formally apologized to her in the Late Show with David Letterman. Letterman invited her to appear on his show as a gesture of appeasement.^[2][3][4]
