Adela Amalia Noriega Méndez[nb 1] (born October 24, 1969), better known as Adela Noriega (Spanish pronunciation: [aˈðela noɾˈjeɣa]), is a Mexican actress. Noriega came to prominence as a teenager, starring in teen-oriented coming-of-age telenovelas in the late 1980s.

Some of her most notable works include Quinceañera (1987), Dulce desafío (1989), María Isabel (1997), El privilegio de amar (1999), El Manantial (2001) and Amor real (2003). Noriega's success as a leading actress has led her to be known as one of the "Queens" of the genre.

Early life

Adela Noriega was born and raised in Mexico City, Mexico.[1] Her father died when she was in her early adolescence, and her mother died in 1995, after a battle with cancer.[2][3] She has two siblings; an older sister, Reyna, and a younger brother, Alejandro.[4]

Career

Career beginnings

Noriega was discovered as a child, at the age of twelve she was scouted in a shopping centre while she was walking with her mother.[5] Shortly after, she began to work as a fashion model and started appearing in TV commercials and music videos.[6]

After being spotted on a shooting of a commercial by Patty de Llano, wife of the producer Luis de Llano Macedo, she began working as a teen actress. She made her television debut at the age of fourteen in the telenovela Principessa and shortly after she participated in Juana Iris. In both shows she interpreted antagonists. She also guest starred on the comic show Cachún cachún ra ra! for a few years.[1]

Stardom

Noriega made her debut as a leading actress in 1986, at the age of sixteen when she was cast for her first lead role in Yesenia, a historical telenovela. The telenovela was based upon an adaptation of Yolanda Vargas Dulché's comic book of the same name,[7] which centers around a young Romani woman and her caravan. From then on she began to work solely as a leading actress of many successful telenovelas with an international distribution.

She rose to greater prominence in 1987 when she obtained the leading role in the iconic Quinceañera, telenovela portraying coming-of-age topics. Quinceañera was the first telenovela that geared towards adolescents and revealed the problems they face in this transitional period from childhood to adulthood. Topics such as substance abuse, date rape, teenage pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, gangs and self-acceptance were being explored for the first time in this genre.[8] This teen classic had a great impact in Mexico and other countries worldwide.[9] In 2008, it was included in the Associated Press' "10 Most Influential Telenovelas of Latin America" list, "because it represented a precedent in this genre and has had an influence on the collective imaginary."[10][11]

The year after, she returned to television in another successful teen-oriented telenovela; Dulce desafío, directed by Arturo Ripstein.[12] In this teen drama, she played the central character, Lucero Sandoval, a teenage girl who rebels against her emotionally distant father and gets romantically involved with her teacher (Eduardo Yáñez).[9]

Continued success

Noriega obtained a contract with the rival network Telemundo in 1993 and played the leading role in Guadalupe. For signing a contract with a different company, she was banned from her previous network, Televisa. Nevertheless, the telenovela Guadalupe resulted to be an international success and was well received in the Arab world to such an extent that she was invited to be the guest of honour of the King of Morocco in 1994.[13][14]

In 1995, she moved to Colombia and joined RTI, starring in María Bonita, where she interpreted the title character, a singer who stays trapped on a Caribbean island.[5][15]

She returned to Televisa in 1997 and collaborated with the producer Carla Estrada in four consecutive productions. The same year, she appeared on television as the lead character of María Isabel, interpreting a young indigenous woman faced with discrimination and lack of opportunities because of her origin. The telenovela presented the iconography of the tribe Huichol, based on indigenous folk beliefs and traditional symbols, and dealt with racial, cultural and class themes.[16][17][18] For her characterization of the lead female character, Noriega received TVyNovelas Award for "Best Young Actress in a Leading Role".[19]

A year later, she starred in El privilegio de amar, adaptation of Cristal, opposite Helena Rojo in a story that revolved around the world of fashion industry and show business. El privilegio de amar is officially the highest-rated television program in Mexico to date, according to IBOPE.[16][20] The show was internationally successful as well.[21]

In 2001, she starred in El Manantial, under the direction of Mónica Miguel and Adriana Barraza, co-starring Mauricio Islas.[22][23]

For her performance as the lead female character Alfonsina Valdes Rivero, she received another TVyNovelas Award, among others. In 2003, she returned to television in the highly acclaimed historical telenovela, Amor real, in a story that was set in the Mexican post-independence period of the mid-19th century.[24][25][26] This costume drama registered very high records of audience in Mexico[27] and at the time of its airing on Univision, occasionally it managed to beat leading U.S. networks in the ratings.[28][29]

In 2005, Amor real was released on DVD and due to its success, it became the first telenovela to be released with English subtitles.[30][31][32] Noriega received various recognitions for her portrayal of the aristocrat, Matilde Peñalver y Beristáin.[1][33]

In 2005, she portrayed the leading character of the telenovela La esposa virgen, opposite Jorge Salinas. The telenovela was an adaptation of Caridad Bravo Adams' novel, Tormenta de pasiones. Her most recent starring role was as the lead female character Sofía Elizondo in the telenovela Fuego en la sangre, from 2008. Despite receiving mostly bad reviews,[34] the telenovela was a big success in Mexico[20] and the U.S.[35]

Personal life

Noriega is known for taking a long hiatus between her projects, and is also renowned for being very private. She has a reserved demeanor towards the media and rarely makes media appearances, so little is known about her private life.[36][37] She had an affair with married Salinas De Gortari president of Mexico which resulted in a son. Due to the scandal she moved to the U.S.
