Biography |
Born in Uruguay, Barbara Mori moved to Mexico after her
parents divorced when she was just 3 years old. She enjoyed
a normal childhood in Mexico -- until, at the age of 14, she
was discovered by famed fashion designer Marcos Toledo while
she was working at a restaurant. Impressed with her poise
and uncommon beauty, Marcos offered Barbara a job as a model
and it wasn’t long before the up-and-coming beauty was
living the high life and rubbing shoulders with the best and
brightest in her field.
Once she realized that models generally have a limited shelf
life, Barbara began to think about her future, eventually
settling on a possible career as an actress. With that
realization, Barbara enrolled in acting classes and began
the slow process of auditioning.
In 1997, Barbara landed her first gig -- a spot on a Mexican
soap called Al norte del corazón. Barbara followed that up
in ’98 with a starring role on Azul tequila. Although she
spent the next several years appearing in a slew of TV shows
and movies, Barbara’s big break came in 2004 when she was
cast in the lead role in the high-profile soap, Rubi.
Already a star in Mexico, Barbara was finally introduced to
the rest of the world in 2005 with the release of the
critically-acclaimed La Mujer de mi hermano. Barbara’s
future is bright and it’s just a matter of time before she
establishes herself as the next hot import -- think Penelope
Cruz or Salma Hayek. |
