The sad, but true story of María Inés gained the sympathy of many other "women's glances" from all over the world. Apart from that, she had starred in no less than 24 movies, both Mexican and North American, among which the best known are "The Evil That Men Do" or "A Walk in the Clouds". As a theater actress, Angélica, who performed plays like "Maquillaje" or "Aquila Real" to name just a few, proved once more her inegalable talent.

Now, at the beginning of 2000, Angélica is back on the world's stage, with another telenovela inspired by Mexico's social, political and educational realities, called "Todo Por Amor", produced by "Argos Televisión" and broadcast by "TvAzteca".
