Maribel del Rocío Fernández García, known<br />
as Maribel Guardia, is a Costa Rican actress,<br />
singer and television host, naturalized<br />
Mexican. He was born on May 29, 1959 in<br />
San José, Costa Rica.<br />
He began his career as a model participating<br />
in the Miss Costa Rica contest at the beginning<br />
of the year 1978, at the age of 19, where<br />
He was able to obtain the title to represent<br />
his country that same year in the international<br />
Miss Universe contest based in Acapulco,<br />
Mexico, where he won the title of Miss Photogenic.<br />
For its part, the Mexican television company<br />
Televisa offered, following the recognition<br />
obtained for its participation in Miss<br />
Universo, a scholarship to study acting, singing<br />
and dancing at the Sergio Bustamante<br />
Academy, now the Center for Artistic Education.<br />
At the end of his artistic studies he failed to<br />
dabble in television, but in the theater, acting<br />
in 1980 in his fi rst work Los Caballeros De La<br />
Mesa Redonda.<br />
After participating in several plays and several<br />
film casting, he ventures into Mexican<br />
cinema of the time making his debut<br />
as an actress in the movie Como México<br />

Her cinematographic career was in frank ascent<br />
since then and she managed to obtain<br />
“The Goddess of Silver” as the best leading<br />
actress in Mexico in the 1985 Horror And<br />
Black Lace fi lm directed by Luis Arcoriza.<br />
This success once again attracted the attention<br />
of the Televisa company, which hired her<br />
as an exclusive artist to star in several soap<br />
operas, the fi rst of them Seduction in 1986,<br />
which many others followed, including some<br />
children.<br />
In 1998 he ventured into music with the<br />
theme “You taught copper” with the northern<br />
group Los Rieleros Del Norte, this theme is<br />

cover Maribel appeared along with the members<br />
of the Chihuahuan group.<br />
Since then, he has recorded fi ve albums in<br />
various genres and singing in palenques<br />
and various theaters in Mexico. Of his record<br />

of Maribel, as well as his interaction<br />
with the public in his presentations as a live<br />
