Angélica Vale

Angélica María Vale Hartman known as Angelica Vale. She is a Mexican-American actress and singer. She is the daughter of Angélica María, known as "La Novia de México" (Mexico's Sweetheart), and Venezuelan comedian Raúl Vale. Although she has been working as an actress for nearly 30 years, she achieved widespread fame in 2006 as the protagonist of the Mexican telenovela La Fea Más Bella (The Prettiest Ugly Girl), in which she starred alongside her real-life mother.

Angélica Vale is a highly recognized Mexican actress, singer, and comedian with an extensive career in live musical theatre, often described as a "triple threat" on stage. With over four decades in the entertainment industry, she has participated in 30 plays.

Vale also starred as Luchita Guerra, a young woman with big dreams of becoming a singer, in the webnovela No me hallo. In early 2012, she was a team captain on the Mexican TV show Parodiando, which aired on the Televisa network. Vale became a U.S. citizen in 2016, while retaining her Mexican citizenship.

Acting career

Background: She began her career as an infant with just two months old on stage with her mother, Angélica María.

"Chicago" the Musical: In 2020, she debuted as Mama Morton in the Mexican production of Chicago, a role she considered a highlight of her theatrical career. "Mentiras: El Musical": She has participated in this popular Mexican musical, which is based on 80s hits. "Las Angelicas": She performs in a show with her mother, Angélica María, which blends live musical stage comedy, theater, and concerts. Style: She is considered the "Latina Queen of Stage Comedy".

As a child, in the movie El Gran Triunfo in 1981, Vale portrayed the daughter of Mexican superstar Rigo Tovar.

In 1998, she portrayed Julieta in Soñadoras and in 2001, she portrayed Wendy Nayeli Pérez in Amigas y rivales, both major roles which won acclaim for the actress. However, the soap opera La Fea Más Bella was her first starring role in any Mexican telenovela, though she had appeared in a number of Spanish language programs. As a comedian, Vale was one of the main celebrity impersonators in the comedy show La Parodia, from 2000 to 2005, but she chose to leave the show because she wanted to take some weeks off. From 2005 to 2006, she performed in El Privilegio de Mandar (The Privilege to Command), which was a parody of an earlier soap opera starring Adela Noriega and was titled El Privilegio de Amar (The Privilege to Love).

Because telenovelas are wildly popular throughout the Hispanic world, they are very profitable, even without high ratings. When , La Fea Más Bella became the number one Univision TV program according to 2006 Nielsen ratings, Vale was looked upon by many producers as a "sure thing," and it was speculated that this success would open the door for greater things to come.

Vale was one of eight people featured on the cover of People en Español s "Los 50 Más Bellos" 2007 yearly issue and was featured alone on the July 2007 cover of the magazine, reportedly more because of her recent popularity than because of her overall lengthy career (as many people in the business had stated that she was finally getting the international attention that she had come to deserve after laboring her talents so long and having very little ethical and commercial success).

In April 2007, People en Español announced that Vale would make a special guest appearance on Ugly Betty, in which she'd reprise her Lety role in the episode "A Tree Grows in Guadalajara," but instead she played a Lety look-alike named Angélica, who was a dental assistant, in the season finale. Although her mother officially left Televisa after both actresses appeared on Mujeres Asesinas in 2009, Vale is still with Televisa, having most recently appeared on Parodiando.

After a 10-year absence from telenovelas, she starred in the Telemundo telenovela "La Fan," her fourth leading role. Alongside her were Juan Pablo Espinosa, Gabriel Porras, Scarlet Ortiz, and other actors.

In 2015, Angélica signed an exclusive contract with the American network Telemundo, where she has already worked on two projects: the program "¡Qué Noche!" and the telenovela "La Fan."

In 2018, she returned to Televisa to star in the telenovela "Y Mañana Será Otro Día," produced by Carlos Moreno Laguillo, alongside Diego Olivera and Alejandra Barros.

In dubbing, she is known for being the voice of Ellie in the Ice Age franchise, beginning with the second film. She was also the original voice of Bibi in *Una película de huevos*, *Otra película de huevos y un pollo*, *Un gallo con muchos huevos*, *Un rescate de huevitos*, *Huevitos congelados*, and Coco.
