After her reign as Miss Universe, Margareta became a fashion model for the Ford Modeling Agency and had great success as an international model.[5] Margareta also appeared on stage and in films.[6] She was married for 9 years to the late Brazilian photographer, Otto Stupakoff, with whom she had two children.[7]
