She came to ‘Amar es para siempre’ in 2014 to play Leonor, one of the Gómez daughters, who stopped appearing when she went with her husband (Alejandro Albarracín) to Mexico. She’s back for the final chapter. In that time, she has participated in series such as ‘Serve and Protect’ and ‘Mía es la Vengeance’.
The landing: “I had just come out of recording ‘Isabel’, I was 19 years old, I auditioned with Casanova, the director. I arrived at the set with Lucía Martín Abello, who plays my sister María, and we walked in with a look of not knowing what we were doing, like two headless chickens. The last straw was that Manolita (Itziar Miranda), our mother, got sick and they changed our plan. We had to do five sequences that we had no idea regarding. She looked like a hazer. “They helped us a lot and everything went very well.”
Favorite scene: “When Leonor is sad in the Plaza de los Frutos because Miguel is going to leave forever, they have known each other since they were children and she doesn’t want to lose him. A sequence that struck me and that I think the audience had been waiting for for a long time is that, because he seems to tell her that he is staying and they begin a relationship that has lasted years and has produced five children. I have taken, precisely, my character’s wedding ring.”
The secret of success: “It is a series that has covered many historical moments in Spain, a bit like ‘Tell me…’, and people have identified with it, all generations, my grandmother, my mother, even myself. The audience has greatly empathized with all the characters. Mine, for example, lived through Francoism, the struggle of communism. And it has had everything, comedy, drama, romance… they are stories that many have experienced and the fact that the public sees us grow in the series over the years generates a feeling of family.
