Biography
In May 1962, the future Mexican telenovela star Victoria Ruffo was born in Mexico City. The girl had an average family: her parents are civil servants, two schoolgirl sisters are the same as her. At school, at one of the album photo shoots, the photographer noted the unusual appearance of young Victoria and her artistic data. He advised the girl to try herself in the theater, and she took this instruction seriously. Ruffo took part in all school productions, tried herself in various roles, diligently taught to recall poetry and prose. Self-control and discipline helped her to properly prepare for the entrance exams, which she passed perfectly. After graduating from school, Victoria Ruffo became a student at the prestigious Mexican Academy named after Andres Soler, where she studied acting.
Movie Debuts
At the age of eighteen, for the first time on the screens, young and talented Victoria Ruffo appears in front of Mexican viewers. The films in which she starred at such an early age were not very popular, but they gave her the opportunity to prepare for further more serious projects. The first popular telenovela in which the actress starred was “Problems of a Doctor”. Soon followed by the second main role of Victoria in the series "Predator", whose popularity in the years of release was simply unrealistic. The ratings of the young actress rapidly increased, and all the doors in the world of cinema opened before her.
Triumphal roles
In 1989, almost in all countries of the world, people, without stopping, watch the series “Just Maria”. The plot focuses on a young, naive provincial girl who came to the capital to try her luck. This role performed by Victoria Ruffo won the hearts of all lovers of telenovelas. The next popular role with the actress was in the project “Poor rich girl”, where she played Consuelo. It is worth noting that these series were most popular not in their homeland, in Mexico, but in the countries of the former Soviet Union.

Our producers even offered her to act in domestic cinema, but she preferred to work for the good of her homeland.

Time moved forward, the years succeeded each other, and in the “zero” Ruffo could no longer play the role of young provincial girls. She became a real socialite, a Mexican movie star, and therefore the roles in the new telenovelas were selected for her accordingly. One of Victoria's most famous works is Cristina Rivero in Hug Me Tight. Then followed the series Stepmother, in which Ruffo played Maria. Quite fresh telenovelas that were filmed with her participation - “In the Name of Love”, “Triumph of Love”, “Crown of Tears”, “Unloved” and “Amazons”.

All of Mexico claimed about the stormy romance of the young actors, and they, without a bit of delay, played a wedding. Soon, the first-born Jose Eduardo appeared in the acting family. Unfortunately, the actress's first marriage crashed. The husband simply could not reconcile with the star status of his beloved and began to reproach her with this. In 2001, Victoria again goes down the aisle, this time with politician Omar Fayad. Three years later, Victoria, already not quite young, gives birth to twins - a boy and a girl.
