Perla Farías

Perla Farías Lombardini (born April 23, 1962) is a Venezuelan-American television director, producer, screenwriter, and an executive at Telemundo.

Early life She is the daughter of Italian actress Gioia Lombardini and Cuban director Daniel Farías. Her younger sister, Gioia Arismendi, is also an actress, and her brother, Dionisio, also worked in television. As a child, Farías reportedly did not enjoy the atmosphere of fame around her parents, but still chose to be an actress.

At the age of 14, Farías was enrolled in an international high school in Switzerland. She studied Social Communication at Northwestern University. She began writing with her cousin José Ignacio Cabrujas, who had encouraged her to write and not act because it suited her better. She has described creating La Reina del Sur as "a big risk", but several years later was steering Telemundo into dramas with fewer telenovela stereotypes, accounting for growing change in tastes and the Spanish-language US broadcast sector.

In 2011 she helped write the musical Magicus: El Bosque Reciclad, created by her sister. In 2016 she was promoted to be Senior VP of Scripted Development at Telemundo, where she is also Head Writer.

In 2018, some of her creative works were seized and broadcast by RCTV.
