Many people can easily identify her from her appearances in shows such as “Wild Rose” and “The Rich Cry Too.” Back when she was a relatively young actress, she is now 69 years old. We will discuss her current appearance and post-series activities. Veronica was born in Mexico City on October 19, 1952, and grew up in poverty after her father’s departure, along with her two brothers and a sister. When she attended university, her mother worked as a secretary.
Veronica endured teasing and name-calling due to her short stature (153 cm) during her school years. In response, she focused on her physical appearance, shedding weight, participating in a beauty pageant, and getting involved in school plays and concerts.
Following her victory in the “Face of the Year” competition in 1970, Veronica received offers for television presenting and acting. Her acting career expanded to include theater, and she made achieving fame and overcoming poverty her top priorities. Her passion for singing blossomed and she began performing live. Veronica has been in over 40 films and TV shows since she was 19, with her debut in the series Love has a Female Face.
Though the storyline of the iconic series “The Rich Also Cry” has faded from memory, the names of the main characters, Marianne and Luis Alberto, remain firmly imprinted. The series was filmed in 1979 and began airing in 1991.
Veronica also contributed to the soundtracks for “Wild Rose” and “The Rich Cry Too,” which viewers may remember. In 2018, after the release of the TV series House of Flowers, Veronica retired from acting. Despite facing personal challenges, she raised two sons — Christian, who is now 46 and a singer, and Michelle, who is 36 and a director.
During her visits to Russia in 1992 and 2010, Veronica filmed “Meeting with Rose” and participated as a judge on the program “Minute of Fame.” She now owns a chain of cosmetic and perfume stores, as well as her own cosmetics line called “Veronica Castro.”
Veronica upholds her beauty through her lifestyle and cosmetic surgeries, and she continues to look fantastic. She remains active by exercising, playing tennis, singing, and working in television. Even though she announced the end of her film career, she may still consider offers to participate in future projects.
