A couple of decades ago, the young, pretty and talented actress Andrea del Boca shone in almost every Argentine television series. Only the popularity of the rising star Natalia Oreiro competed with her crazy popularity.
The story of the birth of a girl
In the
capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires, on October 18, 1965, a girl with beautiful deep eyes was born into the family of Italians Ana Maria Castro and Nicolas del Boca. Parents, being firmly confident in advance of the birth of their son, chose Guido. However, life gave them a surprise in the form of a daughter, who was named Andrea at the insistence of the godfather Alejandro Doria.
Parents of the future star have lived together since 1958. Little Andrea Del Boca became the third child in the family. In childhood, the girl was seriously involved in dancing. When she was twelve years old, the whole family moved to a large house in the Belgrano area. Here were the best youthful years of the future actress.
First acting job
With the light hand of godfather Alejandro Doria, four-year-old Andrea played a deaf-mute girl in the television series Nuestra Guallegita despite the unwillingness of her father, television director Nicholas del Boca. Initially, it was assumed that the baby would only participate in the project for two weeks, but the work on the set had to be increased to eight months due to the huge audience love for little Andrea del Boca. The biography of the girl contains such an interesting fact: starting to appear in the series, she still could not read, so she had to learn the libretto with her mother.
In the rays of glory
Andrea achieved real popularity in the early 90s. The appearance on the screens of such television series as Celeste and Gypsy, Antonella and Black Pearl brought her wide popularity not only in her native Argentina, but also in many countries of Latin America, North America and Europe. Unusual for the audience was the fact that the girl was revealed in the paintings not only as an actress, but also as a singer. Therefore, the series with Andrea del Boca have always been a huge success, especially among housewives.
Favorite men of the actress
It often happens that a person is unusually lucky in one thing, completely unlucky in another. Del Boc has a similar situation. Having made her career as an unusually successful actress, she still cannot find true single love.
Unlike TV shows, in her life she has never married: men with whom she had a warm relationship were not ready for such actions. At the age of seventeen, the girl fell in love with the actor Sylvester, playing with her in the series "One Hundred Days of Anna." Four years later, relations with the hot-tempered celebrity ceased. Famous in Argentina producer Raul de la Torre became the second love of Andrea del Boca. The biography of her lover at that time was already full of stellar moments. Even receiving international awards for the film “Funes is Great Love” with Andrea in the title role could not strengthen their relationship for a long time. After six years of a stormy romance, Raul escaped from Argentina, hanging all his debts on a young actress.
Next in her life is Jeffrey Sachs, an excellent American financier who has arrived in the Argentine government to fight hyperinflation. But after a four-year relationship, the couple broke up.
In 2000, a beautiful relationship with entrepreneur Horacio Ricardo Byasotti became special for Andrea del Boca due to her pregnancy. Unfortunately, having learned about this, the forty-year-old banker hastily disappeared from the life of the actress. However, after the birth of his daughter, he began to lay claim to her, turning the life of the actress into continuous litigation.
Star mom
Choosing a name for the unborn child, the actress stopped at the name of Mateo in case a boy was born. But having learned that a girl was born, she decided to name her in honor of her grandmother - Anna.
July 23, 2000 in the program of Susana Jimenez "Hello, Susana!" the actress told all her fans that she was in an interesting position.
The daughter of Andrea del Boca, Anna Chiara Byasotti, was born on November 15, 2000. When her daughter turned three months old, the actress continued to work in the series.
Actor filmography
Many actors can envy a considerable number of shot pictures from Andrea Del Boca. Films with her participation did not go unnoticed and were perceived with interest by the audience.
In the 70s, Andrea performed her first childhood roles in such works as Romeo and Juliet, Once Upon a Time in the Circus, Dad's Heart, Papa Corazon Wants to Marry, and Peace of Love.
Then there were Days of Illusions, A Hundred Times Not, My Star, I Want to Scream I Love You, Senorita Andrea. However, Del Boc expected real popularity only in the 90s - the TV series Celeste, Antonella, Celeste, always Celeste, The Black Pearl and Gypsy revealed her as a bright and talented actress with a subtle creative soul.
The actress worked on the same set with such handsome actors as Adriano Suaro, Gustavo Bermudez, Pablo Echarri, Ricardo Darino, Gabriel Corrado.
Best Roles
There were, of course, not entirely positive reviews in the direction of the acting data of Andrea. Some, for example, believed that all her heroines are very similar to each other, and their performer lacks variety in her image.
But this can be argued. Indeed, in the television series "Antonella" Andrea is a kind and cheerful girl who had to change her job in the circus to the position of secretary in order to find the killer of her sister. In "Celeste" - the actress got the role of a girl with a difficult fate, who had to become a servant in the house of her lover. The project appealed to many viewers, so its creators worked on the continuation of this love story. In the series "The Black Pearl", the actress plays the role of the pupil of the boarding house - Pearl, who was confused with her deceased friend and taken to her family.
In order to participate in the “Gypsy” project, del Boca even had to change his image: to straighten his hair and repaint it in black. She very quickly got accustomed to the role of a gypsy Sivinka, which caused an unpleasant argument between two friends.
And this is not the complete filmography of Andrea del Boca. The actress has roles in projects such as Gladiators Pompeii, Women Killers, One Good Day, Visibility, My, Only Mine, and Peperina.
Life Beyond the Cinema
Andrea always tries to diversify her professional activities. So, during the filming of one of the series, she was still the host of the show "Indiscretion." In the late 90s, the actress, along with her sister, opened an elite beauty salon, where, in addition to cosmetic services, psychological help can also be obtained.
Very often, Andrea del Boca is involved in charity work. In 2002, she took an active part in the opening of the tomorrow’s shelter for children with disabilities. In 2003, she was one of the organizers of the New Day project. The purpose of its creation was the desire to help poor children who could play in the house built for them while their parents were at work.
Andrea is not only a good actress, singer and mother, she is also a very caring daughter. When in 2002, her mother Ana-Maria fell ill with a heart attack in the hospital, she did not go one step away from her bed, bringing her speedy recovery. Fortunately, the disease quickly receded.
At home, the actress has two small dogs - Lucky and Bambola, in whom she does not dare.
Andrea's great passion is the numerous pairs of sandals, shoes and boots. She is a regular patron of shoe stores. The actress gives special preference to hairpins. In her mansion there is a separate room for a rather large shoe collection.
Love songs performer
In addition to being an actress, Andrea also has a beautiful voice. Playing in many series, she almost always performed soundtracks to them herself. The singer has three albums Con Amor (1988), Love (1995) and I Love You (1995). Basically, these are songs about unhappy love, youth and fidelity.
For most Argentines, the "black pearl" of Latin American television series is a talented actress, caring mother, and devoted daughter. Recently, many of her fans are increasingly wondering: where did the adored Andrea del Boca disappear? Now she rarely appears on television. In fact, the actress continues to act in the same way as before. It's just that today its popularity is not so great.
Del Boca has never been considered the standard of female beauty. Many of the actresses were much superior in appearance, for example, Veronica Vieira and Coraima Torres. However, the audience fell in love with her just like that - a small smiling woman with sparkling eyes and chubby cheeks. The depth of her soul always remains visible to the viewer, even through a television screen.
