Both in Latin America and Mexico, Edith Gonzalez is considered a fairly popular actress. She gained worldwide fame thanks to her striking roles in famous films and TV series. Gonzalez's creative activity is recognized as significant in the world of cinematography.
The biography of Edith Gonzalez is practically unknown abroad. The heyday of her work fell on the eighties. Then the main ones were not the details of the performers' lives, but the fate of their heroes.
The beginning of creativity
The future celebrity was born in 1964 in the city of Monterrey. The girl was born on December 10. The actress practically did not tell the media about her life, childhood and adolescence, so there is no information about Gonzalez's early youth.
From an early age, Edith was interested in an artistic career. The girl showed excellent creative abilities, but did not think about working on television or in the cinema. The girl came to the cinema in the seventies. Then the Mexican TV series became very popular.
Edith's appearance on the screen did not become a sensation due to her small roles. The aspiring actress could not instantly become famous. Her first notable work was the role of Marisabel in the hit TV series The Rich Too Cry 1979.
Shown in Russia in 1991, the project instantly gained popularity. Almost all projects in which the charming Mexican woman took part were romantic and touching stories. For Russian audiences unaccustomed to this genre, the film has become a real exotic.
The actress has long become recognizable not only in her native Mexico, but throughout the world. However, in the former socialist countries, she gained popularity only by the nineties. The series has become a pass to a huge number of television and film projects. The artist received invitations from famous directors.
There were no big changes in her creative career, since she was offered bright, but secondary roles. The star did not acquire many fans.
TV series
The main characters were offered to Gonzalez starting in the nineties. By that time, the peak in popularity of Mexican soap operas had begun to fade. Therefore, the celebrity Edith created her old roles.
The peak of demand for the actress continued in her homeland and in Latin America. In the film portfolio of celebrities there are almost seven dozen TV series and films. The greatest popularity came with the TV series "Wild Rose". Telenovela was shown in 1987-1988.
Gonzalez got the negative role of Leonela Villarreal. The performer coped with the image superbly. She worked with Veronica Castro, a prominent representative of the period of the Latin American series. In the Russian translation, the actress spoke in the voice of the famous Marina Levtova.
All of Edith's projects did not go unnoticed. The series "Soledad" and "Les Miserables", "Wild Heart" and "The Passion for Salome" are still popular, the films "Infernal Trap" and "Desire" remained in demand.
In the film "Desire" in 2013, the actress also acted as a producer. The experience was the first and so far the only one. However, the new activity of the celebrity began very successfully.
Family matters
The performer has arranged her personal life several times. The most famous was her affair with the Mexican Senator Santiago Creel. In alliance with him, a child was born, the daughter of Constance. The girl was born in 2004, on August 17.
The couple broke up a long time ago, but the relationship between them remained friendly. The father is very active in raising his daughter. All the telenovelas and movies starring Edith Gonceles evoke nostalgic memories in many older people. The actress herself became the wife of a businessman, famous in her native country, Lorenzo Lazo.
Despite the decline in interest in the persona of the actress outside of Latin America, Gonzalez has become an outstanding actress. She made a significant contribution to the development of cinematography and culture. Many films with her participation are highly regarded to this day, some have become recognized classics of the genre.
Edith's artistic career is not over. She continues to act, the star does not plan to stop there. Gonzalez is a vivid example of acquiring the status of a cult performer without a solid baggage of work in blockbusters and many rating projects.
Contemporary cinema
The actress successfully moves in the direction she has chosen. It has already had a significant impact on the film industry of the past era. In many ways, it was her talent and the skill of her colleagues that made the projects in which Edith took part cult. The roles have become examples of the era of Mexican serials on television and in cinema.
At that time, they attracted the attention of millions of viewers around the world. This is what made Edith Gonzalez one of the best Mexican performers. During her long career, the star has never appeared in Hollywood. She did not participate in Western projects, preferring to work only with the cinema of Mexico.
Edith Gonzalez is called one of the brightest representatives of Latin American soap operas. The star has become a real symbol of an era that has had a considerable influence in the field of world culture. Modern Latin American TV series, including Mexican ones, have lost their former popularity.
However, two decades ago, spectators of post-Soviet countries and film lovers from all over the world gathered with their families to watch the creations of filmmakers from Latin America. It cannot be argued that the decline in interest is caused by low quality and the work does not deserve attention.
Contemporary Mexican cinema is actively developing. New films are released with the participation of Edith Gonzalez. The multi-part films "Trucker Eva" and "The Brave" are designed for a youth audience. The actress does an excellent job with the tasks assigned to her, creating modern and interesting characters.
