From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Camila Bordonaba (b. El Palomar September 4, 1984) is a well known Argentine actress and composer. Bordonaba, nicknamed "Cato" by family and friends, is probably best remembered for her role as "Pato" and "Camila Bustillo" in the 1995 Telefe telenovela, "Tiny Angels".
[edit] Show business career
Camila Bordonaba had no previous television acting experience when she went to a 1996 casting for "Tiny Angels"(Chiquititas), a soap opera geared towards teenagers. She was cast as "Pato" first.
"Tiny Angels" reached so much international popularity that fans in Israel, where the telenovela gained much support, demanded that the stars pay a visit to their country (Bordonaba visited in 2002 for the first time). "Tiny Angels" gave Bordonaba celebrity across Latin America as well, as the soap opera was a hit in many other Hispanic countries, apart from Argentina.
Bordonaba only retired from "Tiny Angels" on its seventh season, when the show ended. In a 2001 interview, she declared that she was worried about her country's future, that "Axl Rose was her favorite teen idol" (she said he was her "impossible love"), that she plans to fly on a parachute someday, and that she would travel to Egypt if given a chance to pick a place to visit. When asked about God, she simply answered "I'm sure there is someone up there".
Bordonaba also participated in the film version of "Tiny angels". In the film, she got to play "Camila Bustillo". When "Tiny Angels" became a theater play in Buenos Aires, Bordonaba reprised her role as "Camila Bustillos".
Bordonaba played "Marissa Pia Spirritto" in another international series, "Rebel's Way". Although "Rebel's Way" became a hit, it was not as well known as "Tiny Angels" once was. She composed some of the music for that series, and was credited as "Erreway; a band in which the four stars of the series were part of.
In 2004, Bordonaba acted in "Rebel's Way"'s film sequel, "Erreway: 4 Caminos". She also acted as "Paloma" in "Flinderella".
2005 saw her act as "Sisi" in "El Patron de la Vereda" ("The Sidewalk's Owner").
