Leonor Varela

Leonor Varela She was born in Chile, and grew up in Costa Rica, Colorado, and France, so it comes as no surprise that when Leonor Varela and her family converse, they do so in their own private dialect. “It’s kind of a running joke,” she says. “We won’t finish a sentence in the language we start it in.” Appropriately enough, the 26-year-old actress has appeared in French, Chilean, and American productions. Two years ago, she became a Chilean sensation as the star of the soap opera Tic Tac, which led the title role in 1999 ABC miniseries Cleopatra. ENTER HERE
