Veronica Castro

The existence of Veronica Castro in the crumbling Soviet Union became known in the early 1990s, when the first Latin American series appeared on the screens. The Mexican soap opera "The rich also cry" was then enthusiastically watched not only by housewives, but by entire families, discussing the events of each new series as their own at home.

A small actress with huge green eyes and lush hair then captured millions of citizens of the post-Soviet space. And not only them. After all, the series was broadcast in Latin America, France, Spain, Italy, the Philippines and even China.

Veronica Castro was born in October 1952 in Mexico City. Her childhood years were marred by humiliating poverty. The parents divorced when the family already had four children. All the burdens of raising Veronica and her two brothers and sisters fell on the shoulders of my mother.

The woman worked as a secretary and received a salary that was barely enough for food. Veronica recalls her more than modest outfits and the ridicule of her peers. The girl was teased not only for her poor clothes, but also for her small stature, in which the tendency to be overweight was especially visible.

Probably, ridicule and troubled childhood and brought up in Castro a strong character and an incredible will to overcome difficulties. She went in for sports and turned into a petite fit girl. At the age of 12, Veronica managed to become a beauty queen at one of the local contests. And she also learned to fight back her offenders and became famous for her barbed character, which manifested itself every time they tried to offend the baby.

Veronica Castro understood that success and happiness would not fall on her themselves. She also did not have to count on the help of her parents. So she made herself. To overcome shyness and learn how to present herself in her best possible way, she entered the school stage. Soon the girl turned into an amateur activist. Castro was waiting for the chance that everyone gets at least once in their life. And she did not miss her.

Not far from her house was the headquarters of one of the influential parties. Here Veronica Castro met an influential deputy, who was captivated by the wide-open and naive eyes of a young girl from a poor family. And he helped her by introducing her to Andres Soler, the head of the Theater Academy.

Castro realized that this was the only chance that fate gave her. The baby threw off her shyness and asked Soler to become her godfather. She also asked for a scholarship. The official was surprised and could not refuse the energetic girl. Veronica Castro entered the Theater Academy, and not only she, but also her sister received a scholarship.

But it was a little money, and the family needed help. Therefore, a 16-year-old student decided on an act that her relatives did not like very much. She posed nude for one of the Mexican tabloids. The relatives were shocked, but Castro knew that this forced step was necessary to move up the career ladder. She felt neither shame nor remorse. She only promised her mother that she would never see her daughter like this again.

To earn money for decent clothes, which are known to be used for, Veronica Castro took any job. At that time, photo novels were popular in Mexico - small brochures with photos and short texts on the pages.

Rogelio Guerra, a young actor in need of days, took up the same part-time job. So Veronica Castro met the future partner on the TV series "The Rich Also Cry", who played Luis Alberto.

Soon, the student was lucky to get on the TV show "Haha", hosted by the popular comedian Manuel Valdez. He drew attention to a bright girl and helped in career advancement. Veronica worked tirelessly on her speech technique, was engaged in singing and voice production. Success was not long in coming: Castro was awarded a voiceover diploma. She started broadcasting on the radio.

Her activity and desire not to miss a single chance on the way to success led to the fact that in 1970 the girl won the “Face of the Year” competition. Proposals fell on the artist as if from a cornucopia. She appeared on TV screens. From that moment on, life swirled Veronica Castro in a crazy whirlpool.

The girl rushed, barely in time, from the academy to the television center, where she now had her own program, then on the radio. And since the artist sang well, she was soon entrusted with leading the popular musical projects "Night after Night", "Music Magazine" and "With great gratitude."

In 1975, Castro managed to defend her diploma and graduate from the institute. And this despite her incredible workload on television, at the institute, at home and in the theater, on the stage of which she began to appear in the early 1970s. To do everything, she had to sleep no more than 5 hours a day.

A year later, Veronica Castro was awarded the prize for the best actress in the play "Coquette". At the same time, the star was equally successful in building a musical career - her concerts were sold out. She also started acting in films.

I must say that the actress refused to work in soap operas for a long time, considering them a low genre. But under the pressure of suggestions, she gave up. The cinematic biography of Veronica Castro entered a new round after the appearance of the actress in the super popular TV series "The rich also cry." This was her first major role. They learned about Marianne in all countries and continents. Castro traveled on tour almost around the globe. And in her native Mexico, she was the # 1 star.

On the crest of this deafening success, Veronica gave birth to her second son. And again without a husband. Journalists were choked with guesses who the father of the second child was. The star herself kept a mysterious silence on this matter. The artist did not allow herself any break. She was afraid that luck would turn away from her. Therefore, she worked tirelessly.

Another starring role went to Castro in 1987, when the new melodrama "Wild Rose" was released, in which viewers saw the actress in the role of the main character Rosa Garcia. With no less success, Veronica appeared on Mexican screens as a TV presenter of popular projects and night shows. It seems that she almost never left the television center, day or night.

In 1992, Veronica Castro was seen in Russia. She came to Ostankino to record the “Meeting with Rosa” program and performed with the premiere of the song “Makumba”. Once again, the Mexican star visited the country in 2010 and took part in the "Minute of Glory" program as a member of the jury.

In the same year, the last series with Castro's participation, Successful Senorita Perez, was released. Here the artist starred only in an episode.

Although the actress has never been married, men still played a significant role in her life. Castro claims that she never shared a bed with a man for the sake of a career or movie roles. Nevertheless, throughout the chain of her career, influential and stellar men appeared.

In 1974, the biography of Veronica Castro was replenished with a new page: the artist had a son, Christian. Since at that time Veronica already had a star status, only the lazy did not discuss this event. After all, Castro gave birth to her first child without a husband. Journalists speculated who the baby's father was, but no one had official information.

As it turned out, the personal life of Veronica Castro at the dawn of her career was associated with that popular comedian Manuel Valdes from the show "Haha". It was he who became the father of her first son, Christian. The guy himself admitted this when he turned into a popular singer.

For 7 years, the actress lived in a civil marriage with a famous colleague Enrique Niembro. But he cheated on Veronica, and she could not forgive. Therefore, she gave birth to her second son. Although it is not known for certain whether the windy Enrique is his father.

Men have appeared more than once in Castro's life. For two years she met with the artist Omar Fierro. The whole country was waiting for this romance to end in marriage. But that did not happen.

Then a short romance broke out with the singer Adolfo Angel, followed by an ardent relationship with the Argentine actor and handsome Jorge Martinez. Their breakup became almost a national tragedy.

During the filming of the series "Hell in a Small Town," the personal life of Veronica Castro again hit the top news. She began a romantic relationship with partner Juan Soler. But here, too, the matter did not come to marriage.

Not so long ago, Veronica Castro became a grandmother. But she looks great and, it seems, has not lost hope of building her personal life.

The audience's favorite has found the secret of youth. And the reason for its blooming appearance is not only the work of the plastic surgeon-wizard Jose Juri, but also the constant sports activities. Castro adheres to a strict diet, thanks to which for many years her weight is kept at around 48 kilograms. This petite woman, whose height is 1.56 meters, does not allow herself to add more. She is actively involved in sports - jogging, aerobics, tennis.

Today Veronica Castro has a creative lull. She enjoys setting up her home and developing her own business: the actress has a chain of stores and beauty salons. And also - the personalized line of cosmetics "Veronica Castro", which is in demand.

Castro continues to sing and record new albums. But most importantly, now she can devote time to her family - mother, sons and grandchildren.
