Not so long ago, the attention of the audience of our entire country was riveted to TVs. In every house you could hear incendiary and at the same time touching Mexican and American motifs. At that time, most of us closely watched how events unfolded in the series "Santa Barbara", "Just Maria", "Slave Izaura", "The Rich also Cry" and others. But the most memorable, perhaps, was the series "None But You." The actors who starred in the serial film, and their further fate continue to excite the minds of fans even today. We will tell you about them now.
Old about the main thing: brief information about the series
"Nobody but you" is the famous Mexican series, first released on world screens in 1985 and shown in Russia in early July 1992. Its theme is the eternal struggle for money and power between two brothers, Maximilian and Antonio, as well as love for the beautiful and honest girl Raquel.
Who watched the series, he remembers that the plot itself, in fact, as in other soap operas, is seriously confused. This is a true mix of genres in which the love story, crime, drama and detective story are closely intertwined. And thatâs all - âNo one but youâ (TV series). The actors taking part in it talked about the positive atmosphere that prevailed on the set.
The fact that, despite the complexity of the script and the chaotic mixture of genres, playing in this amazing series was a pleasure, and the actors tried to support and amuse each other when someone suddenly became too serious, said Luz Maria Sherry, playing the role of Martha - sisters of the main character Raquel.
Negative and positive characters of the series
As always in such films, there are positive and negative characters. In this case, this is a millionaire from Acapulco - Antonio Lambardo, temporarily losing memory; his beautiful wife Raquel, assistant, business partner from Miami and a family friend - Andres Bernard, Jesus Akunya (Chucho) and others. Among the negative characters, the first place should be placed the stepbrother of Antonio - Maximilian, and then - the crime boss Luis Trejo and Rodrigo Tornelli, the bandit (Cat) and others.
"Nobody but You": actors and roles
Perhaps the most notable in the series are the following main characters:
The role of a tall and stately billionaire with a snow-white smile went to Andres Garcia. Lucia Mendes is a charming Mexican actress who played the fragile and cheerful Cheerleader Raquel, endowed her heroine with a special feminine charm. And finally, the role of the treacherous and self-serving Maximilian went to the charming Salvador Pineda. By the way, it was he who became far from just a stellar partner of Lucia Mendes in the series "Nobody but You." The actors were so carried away and got used to the roles that their script novel grew into a stormy love affair in reality.
In addition to the three main characters, other actors starred in the series. For example, among them was Magda Guzman, who played the role of the strict and fair mother Maximiliano; Liliana Abuda - in the role of Camila, the sister of Antonio; Miguel Manzano - in the role of the father of the sisters Marta and Raquel (Daniel), and Arsenio Campos - played the wife of Camila (Claudio). Also involved were such actors as Tony Bravo, Gaston Tuse, Antonio Valencia, Abram Mendes, Fabio Ramirez and others.
These are the actors who took an active part in the filming process of the series "Nobody but You". Photos of them can be found in our publication.

A brief biography of Andres Garcia
The second charismatic actor from the series so beloved by many Russians is Andres Garcia. This smiling Mexican was born in May 1941 in the Dominican Republic, in Santo Domingo. Andres's parents were classic expats from Spain.
From his very birth, the actor traveled a lot and moved. So, in early 1952, his family went to Chile. Then there was the proud and unconquered Argentina. And exactly five years later they moved to Mexico, where little Andres went to school, and then to college. Having lost a few years at the university, the future actor decided to acquire his own source of income. To do this, he went to work in Acapulco. There he managed to get a job as a diver, then as an assistant chef, bodyguard, guide. He even managed to take part in several boxing matches. We will tell about what other actors who starred in the TV series âNone Beyond Youâ will be described further.
The filmography of the actor
Since Andres Garcia had an athletic physique and a pretty attractive appearance, he was just destined to become an actor. By pure chance, he was noticed by one of the directors, who invited the young man to shoot in the adventure film Chanoc. From that moment on, the actorâs career quickly went uphill, and they started talking about Andres himself as a new Mexican sex symbol.
In total, the actor starred in 116 telenovelas and films. Among his most famous works can be distinguished "Nobody but you." Actors for this series were selected according to the script and director's preference. Garcia was lucky, as it was he who fell into the narrow circle of these lucky ones. Then he was expected to play no less interesting roles in the serial film âMy Name is Koraheâ, the telenovela âForbidden Womanâ, the series âPrivilege to Loveâ and others. In mid-1992, Andres decided to try his hand at a new role - producer and director.
The personal life of the actor
After a while, Andres Garcia got leukemia and prostate cancer. However, thanks to his willpower and perseverance, he was able to cope with both ailments. He was married three times and became the father of 16 children. The most famous of them are Andres Garcia Jr. - model and actor, as well as Leonardo Garcia Valais - film actor. After a while, Andres decided to write a memoir about his life, which he called "With the permission of God." These are the actors in Nobody but You! Then and now many fans and lovers of Mexican series talk about them.
Lucia Mendes
The most positive and charming woman starring in the series was Lucia Leticia Mendes Perez. She was born at the end of January 1956 in the state of Guanajuato, Leone. In addition to her, the family had three more children: two brothers and a sister. From her very birth, the future actress was an active child. That is why when little Lucia turned eight, her parents sent her to study at the Academy of Fine Arts.
Exactly one year later, a gifted child is invited to work on the radio, where she becomes the host of the morning show âLarkâ. But for some reason, the girlâs father abruptly changes his views about her future and sends her to study English philology in Pennsylvania.
The girl received a diploma of an English teacher. But only after graduation, she finally decided to become an actress, in which her mother fully supports her. In early 1972, a young lady was invited to play in the theater. Then she takes part in a local beauty contest organized by the famous Eraldo publication. The girl wins the competition and becomes the owner of the honorary title "The most beautiful face of the year."
Then there was a vivid role in the theatrical production âNothing about sex, since we are innocentâ. Thanks to this, Lucia received the award in two categories at once: âDiscovery of the Yearâ and âBest Actress of the Yearâ. In mid-1984, Mendes poses for a master who creates her sculpture and sends her to the Hollywood Wax Museum .
Currently, Lucia is the first and only Mexican actress whose wax statue is stored in this museum. And in 1985 she was waiting for the fateful series "Nobody but You." Actors and roles in it have already been selected and agreed. That's just the place of the main character was vacant, which Mendes hastened to take advantage of.
Later, she will star in many more films and series, and then there will be a career as a singer and family life. Today, the 59-year-old actress, singer and model is a successful businesswoman who owns her own personalized shampoo cosmetics line.
This is how the actors of the telenovela live today, although just recently we knew them as charismatic and bright personalities from the beloved by everyone the series âNobody but Youâ.
