The Great Lady of Chilean theater, TV and cinema, Paulina García has
garnered an impressive number of awards, among which the APES Award,
the Altazor Award as well as the prestigious Silver Bear for Best
Actress at the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival. Paulina García
studied drama at the Catholic University of Chile where she debuted in
the play 'Donde estara la Jeanette?'. Since then, she has appeared in
over thirty plays. Also a stage director and a playwright, the
multi-talented García opened 'Asociacion de Directores de Teatro', a
drama school where she was a teacher until 2001. Not the kind to rest
on her laurels, Paulina García also performed on TV ('Los Titeres', a
1984 telenovela; 'Carcel de mujeres', a 2007 series) and of course on
the silver screens of her country. Her shining hour came with the title
role of Gloria (2013). She was
indeed wonderful as the engaging 58-year-old office worker who still
loves dancing in clubs, keeps follows her heart and goes through all
the delights and pangs of a new romance. She quite deserved the
aforementioned Silver Bear for this memorable performance.
