Angélica María Career
Early career
Her mother’s sister, Yolanda Ortiz, introduced little Angélica to the Mexican Cinema when Gregorio Wallerstein, a movie producer, was looking for a boy for his next movie. Angélica told the producer, “Give me a haircut and I’m that boy”.
Charmed by the girl, he let her into his audition. She got the role in the movie Pecado (“Sin”). Soon afterward, she worked on, Una Mujer Decente (“A Decent Woman”), La Hija de la Otra (“The Daughter of the Mistress”), Los Amantes (“The Lovers”), Fierecilla (Little Beast), Sígueme, Corazón (“Follow Me, Sweetheart”).
She obtained the Ariel award for her role in Mi Esposa y la Otra (“My Wife and the Mistress”) when she was 6. She also performed in her first fotonovela Rayito del Sol (“Little Sunray”). She sang in her two next movies, 2 Caras Tiene el Destino (“Destiny Has Two Faces”) and Los Gavilanes (The Hawks) with superstar Pedro Infante, who told her she would be a great actress, because she spoke with her eyes, as he did.
Teen idol
In 1955, Rita Macedo offered her a role in the play La mala semilla (The Bad Seed), which would be the first of a series of plays she was involved with while she filmed. When she was 16 she joined the telenovela industry with the production Cartas de Amor (Love Letters).
The following year, she acted in musicals as well as in “Lucha libre” movies such as El Señor Tormenta (Lord Storm) and Muerte en el ring (Death in the Ring). At that time she was beginning to be referred to as La Novia de la Juventud (Youth’s girlfriend) and after her first musical, a journalist, Octavio de Alba, named her La Novia de México (Mexico’s girlfriend or Mexico’s sweetheart), which is the title she would keep thereafter.
Singing career
After a few musicals, she asked for her mother’s assistance (who was also her manager), and together with Armando Manzanero, then a new songwriter, she sang 1962’s Eddy Eddy which would eventually become one of her greatest musical successes.
Manzanero took Angélica to see a producer, and in the same year, she released her first album on the Musart record label. The album was a success, so she began touring and making movies with teen idols such as César Costa and actor/singer Enrique Guzmán whom she would date later.
After joining RCA, she would later become one of the biggest stars in Latin America. In 1973 she met the aspiring singer Juan Gabriel who would become one of the biggest selling artists in the world.
Together, they would record ballads performed by mariachi bands. The single Tú sigues siendo el mismo (“You are still the same one”) sold one million copies in the United States alone and has since then been performed by dozens of other singers.
She recorded three more albums in 1974. In 1980, she recorded for the first time in a U. K. studio, making an album of ballads and a single record with two pop songs in English, seeking some kind of crossover.
During these years, she signed with Marsal Productions, then Caytronics, Melody, RCA again, and finally CBS, which was her last contract with a foreign record company. Since then, she established her own recording company with which she has produced 7 albums.
Her singing career spans through 2013, being her most recent album “With Your Love”, produced by R. Levaron, and launched by Universal Music.
Acting career
In 1965, she filmed “Fray Torero” (Friar Bullfighter) in Spain and came back to Mexico to work in two movies, and record her sixth album. Then, she acted in such successful films as 5 de chocolate y 1 de fresa (Five of chocolate and one of strawberry) and obtained the starring role in the 1968 film version of Corazón Salvaje a movie that made her famous in places as far as China.
In 1971, she acted in Ernesto Alonso’s telenovela Muchacha Italiana viene a casarse (“Italian girl comes to get married”) which opened the Spanish television market in the United States and was a success in Central America and South America.
She also filmed one of her biggest telenovelas Ana del Aire (“Ana of the air”, playing a flight attendant role). In 1977, she made the telenovela version of her film Corazón Salvaje, released two albums, and performed in the play Papacito Piernas Largas (“Daddy Long-legs”), a play that would spun off an album, and broke the record for more than 1000 performances sold out in the next 3 years.
In 1986, she starred in Herencia Maldita (“Cursed inheritance”) singing the theme song and releasing an album called “El Hombre de Mi Vida”. She later acted with her daughter in a production by Angélica Ortíz titled Una Estrella.
In 1988 she divorced Vale and starred in a TV show titled Tres generaciones (“Three generations”) with Carmen Montejo and Sasha Sokol. In 1990 she acted in the play Mamá ama el rock (“Mom loves to rock”) with her daughter and Ricky Martin.
In 1994, she acted in Luis de Llano’s Agujetas de color de rosa which would be such a great success that it was extended to 600 episodes. In 1995 she acted in telenovela La Antorcha Encendida, sharing credits with Leticia Calderon, Juan Ferrara, Ofelia Guilmáin etc. and in 1996 she was offered a leading role in telenovela Bendita Mentira.
