Full Angelica Vale Biography
Angélica Vale (born Angélica Vale Hartman on November 11, 1976 in Mexico City, Mexico) is a Mexican actress, singer and comedienne, known also as the daughter of Angelica Maria "La Novia de Mexico" (The Girlfriend of Mexico), and as the daughter of comedian Raul Vale. She has been working as an actress for almost 30 years, but achieved fame in 2006 when she became the protagonist of La Fea Más Bella (The Prettiest Ugly Girl), a Mexican telenovela, with her real life mother.
As a child, in the movie El Gran Triunfo in 1981, Vale portrayed the daughter of Mexican superstar, Rigo Tovar. In 1998, she portrayed Julieta in Soñadoras and in 2001, she portrayed the character of Wendy Nayeli Pérez in Amigas y Rivales, both characters which were of major importance to either project and which caused acclaim for the actress. However, the soap opera of La fea más bella was the first major protagonistic main character role for her in any Mexican telenovela, though she had appeared in a number of Spanish language programs. As a comedian, Vale was one of the main celebrity impersonators in the comedy show La Parodia, from 2000 to 2005, but she chose to leave the show because she wanted to take some weeks off. From 2005 to 2006, she performed in El Privilegio de Mandar (The Privilege to Command), which was a parody of an earlier soap opera that had stared Adela Noriega and was titled El Privilegio Amar (The Privilege to Love). Because telenovelas are wildly popular throughout the Hispanic world, they are very profitable, even when they don't rate so well, so when as of 2006, La fea más bella became the number one Univision TV program according to 2006 Nielsen ratings, Vale became looked upon as a guarantee to success by many produers, and it is speculated that this success may open the door for greater things to come. Vale is featured as one of the eight subjects on the cover of People en Español's "Los 50 Más Bellos" 2007 yearly issue and on the July 2007 monthly issue, reportedly more because of her recent popularity than because of her overall lengthy career (as many people in the business have stated that she is finally getting the international attention that she has come to deserve after laboring her talents so long and having very little ethical and commercial success). In April 2007, People en Español announced that Vale would make a special guest appearance on "Ugly Betty", in which she'd reprise her Lety role in the episode "A Tree Grows in Guadalajara," but instead she played a Lety look-alike named Angélica, who was a dental assistant, in the season finale.
- From 1982-1986 her family was banned from Televisa due to the launch of the independent production "LUPITA" on the rival TV Azteca network in which she played the title role. All the family members were blacklisted until 1986, year in which Ernesto Alonso intervened on their behalf. He was instrumental in getting the ban lifted, allowing the family to return to work on Televisa's productions.
Like her mother, Vale is also a singer and has performed on the soundtrack for La fea más bella. She did several notable impersonations of another singer, Verónica Castro on La Parodia doing parodies of Castro's show, Mala noche... no!. Vale is also listed in that program's credits as a singer of its theme song. She has also done many impressions of singers Shakira, Thalia, and Laura Leon among others while she worked on Soñadoras and Amigas y Rivales; she also used some of these once more in "La Parodia". In 2007, after the finale of "La Fea Mas Bella", she sang one of the theme songs for the hit soap opera during an appearance on "El Show de Cristina". |
