Biography |
Odalys García is a Cuban actress, model, singer and show
host.
García, born in Havana, Cuba, started by participating in
dance demonstrations by the age of eight. At nine, she was
admitted to the Alicia Alonso School of Ballet.
When Odalys was 13, she arrived in Miami, where she began a
career in modeling. In 1991, she was cast to host Noche de
Gigantes (Night of the Giants) by Univision, alongside Don
Francisco. Garcia and Don Francisco became friends during
the two years she was in the show, and she started to become
famous to Hispanic audiences.
Soon, she was chosen to host De Pelicula, a Saturday
afternoon movies show. But her biggest break came in 1993,
when she was chosen to participate in Lente Loco (Crazy
Lens), as Pupu Pirú, a show that was like a Spanish version
of Candid Camera. Lente Loco became a big hit among
Univision's target audiences, and Odalys' fame went off the
roof. Within years, she was producing calendars, being the
object of romance rumors by many magazines, and becoming the
spokeswoman of Columbia House's Club Musica Latina. She also
had the opportunity to act in a Spanish soap opera, named
Morelia, and she was disc jockey at a morning radio show at
Florida's station, WQBA. She is also a spokeswoman for
Bally's Total Fitness.
Odalys García is also an executive producer and singer. Her
calendars have sold well over the years, her 2001 version
selling 200,000 copies, and she also produces a video to
accompany her calendars.
Her singing career is taking off with the help of Selena
Quintanilla's father Abraham Quintanilla. Odalys has been in
heavy promotion of her first CD lately, and her concerts
have included one in Monterrey where the audio equipment she
was using broke and she had to cancel her concert. |
