Biography

Her sudden rise to popularity came in 1979 when, after being crowned Miss Madrid, she won the Miss Spain pageant, held that year in the Catalan town of Lloret de Mar (Gerona). She was also a semifinalist in Miss World 1979 and 2nd Runner-Up in Miss Europe 1980.

The fame she achieved allowed her to start her career as a model and, above all, to make her first forays into the world of acting. Just a few months after winning the contest, director Pedro Masó cast her to play the youngest of Alberto Closas children in La familia, bien, gracias, the third of a series of films about the adventures of a large Spanish family.^[4]

During the 1980s, he developed a modest film career, appearing in titles such as La venganza del lobo negro (Duel to the Death) (1981), El lobo negro (The Black Wolf) (1981) (both by Rafael Romero Marchent), El último penalty (The Last Penalty) (1984), by Martín Garrido, and Pareja enloquecida busca madre de alquiler (Crazy Couple Seeks Surrogate Mother) (1990), by Mariano Ozores. He also made forays into international co-productions, working on Comidas a domicilio (1984) and La armadura de Dios (1987), alongside Jackie Chan.^[5]

Since the 1990s, she has focused her appearances on television (where she made her debut in 1983 with Las Pícaras, followed a year later by Los desastres de la guerra, alongside Sancho Gracia), and she has been seen presenting (Ricos y famosos, 1990, a magazine program broadcast by Antena 3 (Spanish TV channel) in its first months of existence) and acting (Amor de papel, 1993, a telenovela filmed in Venezuela; La forja de un rebelde, 1990, by Mario Camus; Calle nueva, 1998; La familia... 30 años después, 1999; El secreto, 2001 and En nombre del amor, Televisa 2008 filmed in Mexico).^[6]
