The first role was followed by work in the popular Mexican TV series: "Maria Mercedes", "Pink Laces", "Prisoner of Love". An interesting fact is that in almost all of these films, Alvarez got the role of villains. It was only in the mid-90s that she first played a positive heroine.
In the late 90s, the girl was noticed by the producer A. Nesma. It was he who proposed to change the image of the actress and approved her for the role in his new series "My dear Isabel".
