Over the years, “Yo soy Betty, la fea” has made an important space for itself in new productions. With more than two decades of having arrived on television, the plot led by Ana María Orozco and Jorge Enrique Abello still has stories to tell.
Some time ago, the actors of “Betty, la fea” met in a special of the program “In their battles” on TV Azteca. In almost an hour of history and anecdotes, one of the actresses, Luces Velásquez told how Bertha came to be.
“The cast was already made up when I arrived. One day, when I was visiting RCN, they sent me a call from management and told me that the actress who had the role had become pregnant and she would not continue in the project, “she commented.
As a crucial part of “Betty, la fea”, by giving life to Bertha from the ‘Cuartel de las feas’, Velásquez shared what happened when she found out she was pregnant and how he told Fernando Gaitán, author and screenwriter of the soap opera, that he had to modify the script.
“I came from two losses in Brazil. While I was already recording Betty, I got pregnant again and lost a baby again. When in the plot Bertha decides to have liposuction, I find out that she was pregnant once again. This is where I tell Fernando that he had to give me the scene because it was going to be noticed, “he said.
In conversation with the ADN Radio portal, the interpreter indicated that her partner, the actress Paula Peña, who gave life to Sofía, was strategically placed in the scenes to help her cover her pregnancy on screen.
“When we did the liposuction scenes, I was five months pregnant. They take off the foam dress she was wearing and my belly was already showing. From then on we had to put Paula in front of me to cover me, since she is smaller than me. By the seventh month we went all the way to get Bertha to reveal that she was pregnant.“, revealed.
Perhaps some do not know, but the girl who appears next to Bertha in the scenes of “Betty, the ugly” is Oriana, daughter in the eral life of Luces Velásquez. “I remember that Fernando told me to appear on screen once, I accepted. But then he told me that he could be part of the story and I said no. She was very small, ”she shared with TV Azteca.
“Betty, la fea” and Armando Mendoza’s sister: why didn’t she appear in the soap opera?
Perhaps the character that Gaitán owed to the fans for not giving her an actress to play her. Although Camila Mendoza is mentioned more than once in “Betty, la fea”, she was never introduced.
