At 49, Kate del Castillo Is ‘Absolutely Comfortable’ in Her Own Skin
, I’m listening to Vicente Fernandez’s the theme song from my favorite telenovela, La Mentira, in which del Castillo starred when she was 26 years old. The actor and Mexican multihyphenate has been gracing television screens since 1983, when she made her acting debut in the TV film Las Sobrinas del Diablo, directed by her father, actor and telenovela royalty Eric del Castillo.By the 1990s, Kate del Castillo had multiple telenovelas several films, and a on her résumé. She crossed over to the United States with a role in the 2002 PBS show , the first drama series to have an all-Latinx cast, before making it to Hollywood in 2007 with the film Under the Same Moon, the story of a young boy who comes to the US to find his mother after his grandmother passes away in México.Hollywood was only the beginning of del Castillo’s making her stamp on American entertainment and media.
