Televisa

Silvia Navarro is itching to get back to work after giving birth to her baby. The Mi Corazón Es Tuyo actress was recently spotted at the Televisa studios in México City in talks with producer Giselle Gonzalez. Navarro is interested in the lead role for La Candidata. “I had been dying to work with [Gonzalez],” she said in an interview with gossip show Cuentamelo Ya. “We’re talking, seeing, crossing fingers so I can stay in this project.”

Earlier this year Navarro had been in talks with producer Carmen Armendariz to star opposite Iván Sánchez on Yago. She declined the offer as she had already appeared in a similar production back in 2006 called Montecristo. “The adrenaline of this project surpasses all of my expectations,” she said. “It’s a very different character, complex in all aspects, something that I have never done before and it has me all excited.”

Silvia Navarro was last seen on the small screen in the comedy Mi Corazón Es Tuyo. In this production she gave life to Ana Leal, an undeniably beautiful woman, her smile and charisma cast a spell on anyone. She is optimistic and a hard worker. Her necessity to get ahead in life lead her to become a nanny. Ana and her enthusiasm will turn the Lascurain home upside down, and it will bring happiness back to herself.

On La Candidata she would play Camila Santamaria, a charismatic politician assumed to be dead after a tragic accident. Upon her return, she begins to uncover her husband’s corrupt ways and ultimately decides to challenge him in a race to be the next President.
