Ivonne Coll A girl named Ivonne Coll
At the end of 1971, the owner of television channel 11 in Puerto Rico, Rafael Perez Perry spotted Coll. His competitor had a show with a young starlet by the name of Iris Chacón. Perez Perry believed that Coll could have a show of her own to compete.
Therefore, he sponsored the show which was called Una chica llamada Ivonne Coll(A girl named Ivonne Coll), which ran from 1971-75.
In 1976, Coll moved to Los Angeles, California, where she took dance and singing classes in the Academy of Stage and Cinema Arts. She landed a part in a theater play called “Burning Beach”, which was presented in the American Place Theater.
Ivonne Coll USA
In 1979, Coll moved back to New York, where she participated in various Off-Broadway productions such as Spain 1980, As You Like It, Romeo and Juliet, and Macbeth. In New York, film director Francis Ford Coppola recruited her for the role of Yolanda, a Havana night club singer in The Godfather II.
Although her role was small, the experience would serve her well in the future. She was credited as Yvonne Coll. In 1989, Coll played a minor role of a teacher named Mrs. Santos, in the film Lean on Me was written by Michael Schiffer, directed by John G. Avildsen and starring Morgan Freeman.
She participated in the following productions: the Orinoco, The Masses Are Asses (a play by Pedro Pietri), Medio Comuñas, Goodbye Castro, and Pancho Diablo (with Fernando Allende and Sully Diaz).
Coll won an ACE Award for best actress for the Orinoco. When not acting, Coll attended the HB Studio and Lee Strasberg’s Acting Studio. Among the television series on which she appeared were: Pacific Blue, Crisis Center, An American Family, The Bold and the Beautiful, Chicago Hope, Malibu Shores, NYPD Blue, L.A. Law, and Under Cover.
Ivonne Coll Return to Puerto Rico
When Coll returned to Puerto Rico, she was invited to participate in La verdadera historia de Pedro Navaja and Paper Flowers. She had a role in the locally produced film, La gran Fiesta (The Grand Party), and in the TV show Cuqui.
In 2002, she appeared in the film Besos de Fuego. In October 2006, Coll played the title role in Bertolt Brecht’s Mother Courage at the Berkeley Rep Theater in Berkeley, California. From 2011 to 2014, she had the recurring roles on Switched at Birth, Glee, and Teen Wolf.
Beginning in the fall of 2014, Coll becomes part of the main cast as Alba Villanueva, grandmother of Jane Villanueva, in the CW comedy series, Jane the Virgin. In 2015, Coll was honored by the organizers of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade with a lifetime achievement award for her long and varied career.
Ivonne Coll Jane The Virgin
The Jane the Novela pilot currently in development at The CW will feature a familiar face from the Jane the Virgin family. Ivonne Coll, who plays Alba on the flagship series, is heading to the spin-off in a completely new role.
According to Deadline, Coll will be playing Camilla, the adoptive mother of the first season’s heroine Estella (Jacqueline Grace Lopez). Camilla “would do anything to protect her daughter and the life they have built, even lie to her,” according to the site.
Jane the Novela is designed to be an anthology series, and each season would be based on a book written by Jane Villanueva (Gina Rodriguez), the lead of the original series. The potential first season centers on a familiar love triangle that finds Estella torn between her longtime security guard boyfriend (Remy Hii) and a rich wine seller (Hunter Parrish). It’s just like Jane’s love triangle, but with a few tweaks.
The reunion between Coll and the Jane creative team won’t be the only reunion in the pilot, though. Teen Wolf’s Holland Roden has also joined the cast as Felix’s animal-loving sister. She appeared opposite Coll when the latter did a stint on the MTV supernatural series.
Coincidentally, Teen Wolf lead Tyler Posey had his own recurring role on Jane the Virgin, in Season 4. The world of Hollywood is incredibly small. Coll’s involvement in the pilot also brings up a larger question if Jane the Novela is picked up to series, though.
Could other Jane actors also show up to play new roles in Jane’s novels? Surely there’s a meaty Petra-inspired character that Yael Grobglas could come sink her teeth into, right?
