Maribel Fernández
Date of Birth: May 29th, 1960 Latina beauty queen-turned-actress Maribel Guardia
won the title of Miss Costa Rica in 1978 at the age of 17. She competed
unsuccessfully in the Miss Universe beauty contest that year in Acapulco,
Mexico. Her runner-up status did nothing to deflect the offers that started
coming in from modeling and talent agencies and television producers.
The dark-haired, statuesque beauty chose to remain in Mexico, however,
and became a citizen and made her life and career there. She quickly emerged
as a star on the small screen and jumped into feature films in 1979, making
her debut in the feature Como Mexico No Hay Dos. In the late '80s, she
also became a recording artist and appeared on the covers of every fashion
and beauty magazine in Latin America. This turned her into a popular cultural
institution. She has made more than two dozen movies and starred in several
soap operas, and made extensive goodwill appearances for charitable causes.
As with many models-turned-actresses, Guardia's appearance tends to overshadow
any acting skills she may posses, though she has achieved considerable
respect as a performer. Now in her forties, she has matured gracefully
and is regarded as a beauty icon in much of Latin America, a status made
more significant in tandem with her choice to be a single mother, growing
out of her relationship with Joan Sebastian, her leading man from the
mid-'90s series Tu y Yo. Known in the popular press as "La Bella"
("the Beauty"). |
