Maricarmen Regueiro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maricarmen Regueiro also known as Maria del Carmen Regueiro, (born 1965) is a Venezuelan actress.

Regueiro began acting in Spanish language soap operas in 1986 when she participated in Cristal and the miniseries Mansion de Luxe alongside another famous Venezuelan actor, Carlos Mata. But she toiled as a secondary soap actress until 1988, when she starred in Senora, alongside Carlos Mata, Flavio Caballero y Caridad Canelon. Señora became an instant hit all over Venezuela and other Latin American countries for producer Radio Caracas Television/RCTV, and Regueiro became a super-star immediately. In Amanda Sabater, she played the title character alongside Flavio Caballero and Gabriel Márquez among others. Another great success was El Desprecio (The Ignoring, 1992), a soap opera that was unique in not depicting a happy ending and being loosely based on Robert Graves' Claudius the God.

For some years she was romantically linked with a Venezuelan actor, Franklin Virguez. In the middle 1990s, she dated another man, Ramiro Helmeyer, who was later accused of anti-governmental activities and sentenced in 1995 to thirty years in jail without parole, a term he is still serving. She married him in 1996. After her marriage she continued acting in soap operas, first in Peru and later in Venezuela. In 2002 she had a baby boy by the name Nicolas and in 2003 a baby girl by the name Daniela.

In addition to working in Venezuelan and Peruvian productions she has also worked in Argentina.
