- Description:
LEONOR VARELA (Adela) stars in AMERICANO as Adela, a quintessential Spanish beauty whose artistry and passion have profound influence on Chris.
International film star, Leonor Varela, first came to the attention of American audiences when she starred in ABC's critically-acclaimed mini-series "Cleopatra". Varela will next be seen in the heartbreaking film, "Innocent Voices". Directed by Luis Mandoki and produced by Lawrence Bender, the film will be Mexico's official "Best Foreign Language Film" entry for the 77 th Annual Academy Awards (2005). The film received rave reviews at the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival, the 2004 AFI Film Festival and won "Best Movie of the Year" at the Puerto Vallarta Film Festival.
Varela's immense talent is evident by the diversity of the roles she has portrayed. She starred opposite Wesley Snipes in New Line's "Blade II", starred opposite Geoffrey Rush in "Tailor of Panama", starred opposite Ashton Kutcher and Dylan McDermott in the feature film "Texas Rangers" and appeared as a recurring guest lead in the Emmy-winning FOX series "Arrested Development".
Varela reached international stardom for her performance opposite Jean Reno and Gerard Depardieu in the mega-hit French comedy "Tais-Toi"(aka SHUT UP) which remained number one at the French box office for many weeks, and for her portrayal of a free-spirited, liberal Spanish surgeon in the French film "Pas Si Grave" directed by Bernard Rapp. - Actor/Actress/Director: Leonor Varela
