Kate del Castillo

Internet Movie Database Entry: http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0215487/. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1631 Vine St. He got the marriage's properties while she settled for approximately 500,000 dollars. She is buried in the Union Hill Cemetery, Chester County, Pennsylvania. On September 1, 2004, she and Garcia finally divorced after a long legal battle. One of her old films was playing on television the night of the fire and Darnell fell asleep with a lit cigarette while watching it. In 2002 and 2003, this habitual autograph signer began an international tour alongside Argentinian actor Saul Lisazo, also a superstar in Mexico, with their play Cartas de Amor (Love Letters). She died from burns received in a house fire in Chicago, Illinois.

In 2000, she campaigned for President-to-be Vicente Fox, a fact that did not sit well with Televisa leaders. She was widely tipped to win an Academy Award nomination for this part, but, when this did not happen, her career began to diminish and her film appearances were sporadic thereafter. The marriage did not last too long, however. Darnell's hard-edged performance in the latter won her the best reviews of her career. In 1996, she married soccer player Luis Garcia, who was very famous in his own right and a member of the Mexican national soccer team. Darnell played two roles that earned her respect as an actress: as Daphne De Carter in the Preston Sturges comedy Unfaithfully Yours, opposite Rex Harrison, and as one of the three wives in A Letter to Three Wives. Other soap operas and movies she made are Ramona and a remake of El Derecho de Nacer (The Right to be Born). Publicity at the time suggested this would be the next Gone With The Wind, and the search for Amber was deliberately modelled on the extensive process that led to the casting of Scarlett O'Hara, but the film did not live up to its hype.

She was catapulted into fame in 1991 when she starred as Leticia in Muchachitas, a soap opera that reached wild popularity all over Latin America. Muchachitas reached the top audience spots in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Peru, and among hispanic audiences in the United States. In 1947 she won the starring role in the highly anticipated Forever Amber. A participant in ten telenovelas, del Castillo made her acting debut in 1980 when she participated in a movie named El Ultimo Escape (The Last Escape). By 1939 she had returned to Hollywood and immediately began to secure good roles, appearing in such films as Blood and Sand, Hangover Square and My Darling Clementine. Some biographers say her actual year of birth was 1974, but 1972 is generally accepted as the year she was born. She was chosen by a talent scout to go to Hollywood but was sent home to Dallas when they discovered she had lied about her age. Kate del Castillo (born October 23, 1972) is a famous Mexican actress. She is the daughter of Eric del Castillo, who is a legend of the Mexican cinema's golden era and a former soap opera actor himself. Born in Dallas, Texas and one of five children, Darnell was a model by the age of 11 and was acting in theater by the age of 13.
