Polyana López
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polyana López (born circa 1985) is an Argentine actress who gained international fame[citation needed] as "Mora" in Telefe's acclaimed program, "Chiquititas".
It shall be noted that López is a black actress, and blacks are extremely rare in Argentina, and therefore in its television and show business industry.
López's first experience as an actress came in "Chiquititas", which, in turn, gave her national and international fame, becoming a number one hit in Argentina and across the rest of Latin America, as well as in some European and Asian countries, being dubbed into English and Russian, for example.
Polyana López played "Mora" for one year, 1997. However, upon leaving the "Chiquititas" telenovela in 1998, and with a copyright lawsuit between Argentina's Telefé and a Brazilian television network notwithstanding, she went to Brazil and acted in "Chiquititas Brazil", as "Polly".
López toured across Brazil playing "Polly" on theater as well during this period. During a trip to Brasilia, she and the rest of the cast of "Chiquititas Brazil" were greeted by a crowd of 35,000 people as they tried to make their way into a restaurant, needing to have an entire street closed by local police before they could make their way into the restaurant(in Portuguese).
Polyana López has been retired from television acting since her days as a member of "Chiquititas".
