Eiza González is mourning the loss of Nicandro Díaz, a TelevisaUnivision producer who gave the 3 Body Problem star an opportunity early on in her acting career.
“I am devastated with the news about Nicandro,” González posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “You are light, I always spent hours laughing with you. My family and I love you very much and we are eternally grateful.”
She continued, “You changed the course of my life and I will always be indebted to you. My deepest condolences to your beautiful family. I adore you Nicandro, we will always miss you. Your favorite lobuki.”
González starred in the telenovela Amores Verdaderos back in 2012, which Díaz produced for TelevisaUnivision. The actress accompanied her X post with a photo alongside Díaz and her telenovela co-stars like Sebastián Rulli, Erika Buenfil and Eduardo Yáñez.

In her impressive narrative feature debut, Mexican actor-filmmaker Ángeles Cruz examines the impact of migration and the difficulties women face in a small village in the Mexican state of Oaxaca.
Set in the fictional village of San Mateo (in reality Cruz’s hometown of Villa Guadalupe Victoria), “Nudo Mixteco” (or “Mixtecan Knot”) weaves together the stories of three indigenous women dealing with love, sex, the struggle for empowerment and the legacy of child abuse in a community largely dominated by chauvinistic traditions.
Cruz, who also wrote and produced the film via Madrecine, the company she runs with partners Lucía Carreras and Lola Ovando, spoke to Variety about the pic, which features a mixed cast of professional and non-professional actors. “Nudo Mixteco” screens in the International Film Festival Rotterdam’s Harbour section.
The project initially began as three female monologues that reflected the experiences of people who return to their communities...
