She studied [[Psychology]] in Caracas at [[Andrés Bello Catholic University]] for a year but left university to pursue an acting career.

==Career==

Spanic's career started in 1992 when she joined the [[Miss Venezuela]] contest, representing her home state, [[Guárico]], which served as a platform to launch her acting career, with appearances in Venezuelan telenovelas such as ''Morena Clara'', where she portrayed the villain Linda Prado.

In 1994, Spanic had her first leading role in the telenovela ''Como Tu Ninguna'', which aired for two years and became one of the largest novelas of the country and had an enormous success, including internationally.

After playing Amaranta in ''Todo por tu Amor'' (1997), Spanic moved to Mexico, where she acted in ''[[La usurpadora (1998 TV series)|La usurpadora]]'' (1998), portraying twins Paola and Paulina, which came to worldwide success when the novela was transmitted to more than 125 countries around the world and became one of the most popular telenovelas in the Spanish-speaking world. ''La Usurpadora'' was the first novela to win more than 20 points in the grid of the TV American audience.

In 2000 Gabriela Spanic co-hosted the [[OTI Festival]] in its last edition, which was held in [[Acapulco]].

Spanic acted in other [[Televisa]] productions such as ''[[Por Tu Amor]]'' (1999), and ''[[La Intrusa (Venezuelan telenovela)|La intrusa]]'' (2001), before signing with [[Telemundo]], starring in ''[[La Venganza (Colombian telenovela)|La venganza]]'' (2002), ''[[Prisionera]]'' (2004) and ''[[Tierra de pasiones]]'' (2006).

Spanic won the Orquidea Award in 2005 for her trajectory as an actress, as well as the prestigious FAMAS Award for Best Actress for her role in ''Tierra de Pasiones''.

In 2010, Spanic worked with Televisa again when she played the antagonist of ''[[Soy tu Dueña]]''.

She obtained a small role in the worldwide hit telenovela ''[[Los ricos también lloran]]'' in 1979 and four years later a starring role in the successful ''Bodas de odio''.

In 1986 she co-starred with Zurita in ''[[De pura sangre]]'' and in the same year they got married.<ref>{{cite web |last1=González |first1=Moisés |title=El amor incondicional entre Humberto Zurita y Christian Bach: "No me concibo separado de ella" |url=https://peopleenespanol.com/celebridades/humberto-zurita-christian-bach-matrimonio/ |website=peopleenespanol.com |publisher=[[People en Español]] |accessdate=1 March 2019 |language=Spanish}}</ref> Ten years later and after a string of successful productions with [[Televisa]] the Zurita-Bach couple decided to form their own production company, '''ZUBA Producciones''', and to move to nascent network [[TV Azteca]]. Two years later they produced two telenovelas for the station, ''La chacala'' and ''[[Azul Tequila]]'', a successful production that launched the career of [[Bárbara Mori]] and [[Mauricio Ochmann]]. In the 1980s she recorded an album as a solo singer, but the album lacked success and interest from the public.

In 1984 and 1989, Bach won the Best Actress award at the [[TVyNovelas]].<ref name=":1" /> She also won the Best Actress TuMundo from Telemundo in 2013.<ref name=":1" />

'''Michelle Jacqueline Vieth Paetau''' ({{IPA-es|miˈtʃel βjet}}; born November 19, 1979) is a Mexican-American television personality, actress, and model best known for her starring roles in Mexican [[telenovelas]] between the late 1990s and early 2000s.

== Biography ==
Michelle's mother and father met in [[Marshalltown, Iowa]]. United States. Her mother's family lived in [[Acapulco, Guerrero]], Mexico at that time. Her father and his side of the family are from Marshalltown. For that reason from a young age Michelle was flying back and forth through both countries. At the age of 15 while in [[Acapulco]], she was invited as an extra in the telenovelas "El Premio Mayor" produced by Emilio Larrosa, "Acapulco, Cuerpo y Alma" produced by Jose Alberto Castro and its English version produced by Carlos Sotomayor. But It was VP of [[Televisa]] and Producer Valentín Pimstein's last discovery for the company after discovering figures like [[Veronica Castro]] and [[Thalía|Thalia]]. Pimstein saw something unique in Michelle so he took her to Mexico City and his team of specialists, who then decided that Michelle was going to be enrolled at the [[Centro de Educación Artistica]] (CEA) to study acting and modeling. Almost a year later, Pedro Damián, who was part of Valentin's team, called her and offered her to be ''Mi Pequeña Traviesa'', marking her debut in television as an actress.

In 2004, she was on ''[[Big Brother México|Big Brother]]'' Celebrity VIP2 Mexico, and exited the fourth week of the show, finishing in 11th place.

==Personal life==

Vieth was married to Hector Soberon from 2001 to 2004, and the marriage was later annulled. She was engaged but never married to Leandro Ampudia from 2004 to 2010, with whom she had a son, Leandro (born 2005), and a daughter, Michelle (born 2007). Since 2011, she's been in a long-term relationship with Christian Aparicio, and they have a son, Christian Aparicio, Jr. (born 2014), and a daughter, Selika (born 2016).

More than a decade ago, a video appeared in the web in which the actress appeared naked, a situation that she still considers heartbreaking and difficult to overcome. Vieth supports a citizen initiative that seeks the approval of the Vengeance Pornography Law, to prevent harassment through the network and the circulation of unauthorized sexual content of which she herself was a victim. After living it in her own flesh, Vieth contacted women's rights defender [[Matan Uziel]] from [[Real Women Real Stories]], who helped her to remove the content from the internet.<ref name="Michelle Vieth">[https://laopinion.com/2018/11/01/tras-video-porno-michelle-vieth-ahora-lucha-contra-el-contenido-sexual-no-autorizado/ Tras video porno, Michelle Vieth ahora lucha contra el contenido sexual no autorizado]</ref>

'''Adamari López Torres''' (born May 18, 1971) is a [[Puerto Rico|Puerto Rican]] actress known for participating in several Puerto Rican and Mexican [[soap operas]]. She is currently a host on the Telemundo morning show ''[[Hoy Día]]'' and is a Latina ambassador for [[WW International|WW]], formerly Weight Watchers.

==Early career==
The daughter of an undertaker, Luis López, Adamari started her career at the age of six in the [[Telemundo]] [[WKAQ-TV|Canal 2]] production of the ''[[Cristina Bazán]]'' soap opera, alongside legendary Puerto Rican actress [[Johanna Rosaly]] and [[Venezuela]]n singer [[José Luis Rodríguez (singer)|José Luis Rodríguez]], ''El Puma''.

Her talent indicated a future superstar. [[WAPA-TV]] next chose her to play [[Iris Chacón]] and Daniel Guerrero's daughter in ''[[Yo Se Que Mentia|Yo sé que mentía]]''. She was a child actress playing an important supporting role in the story, thus became a household name.<ref name="FNCP">{{Cite web|url=https://prpop.org/biografias/adamari-lopez/|title=Adamari López|publisher=[[National Foundation for Popular Culture]]|location=San Juan, Puerto Rico|language=es}}</ref>

A short, two chapter appearance on ''[[Vivir Para Ti]]'' followed in 1983, and after that, López decided to dedicate herself to her studies. She holds a B.A. in communications from the [[University of the Sacred Heart (Puerto Rico)|University of the Sacred Heart]]

==Adulthood and fame==
After reaching the age of maturity, she came back, participating in several plays at Puerto Rico's [[Teatro Tapia]], San Juan's premier and oldest theater, and getting the attention of Mexican producers.

She traveled to Mexico next, after the invitation by the producers to try out there, and became a superstar in that country as well, working in many top soap operas, including ''[[Camila (telenovela)|Camila]]'' and the national super hit ''[[Amigas y Rivales]]''. López also participated in ''[[Mujer, Casos de la Vida Real]]'', where she played a victim of [[rape]] that later turned [[lesbian]].

==Recent years==
In 2004, López participated in the soap opera ''[[Mujer de Madera]]''. During the recording of that soap opera, her father, Luis, a respected and successful undertaker, suffered a [[myocardial infarction|heart attack]] and had to be hospitalized and operated on. López was given immediate permission to travel to Puerto Rico and be with her father for as long as she needed. Her father recovered, but with only five percent of his heart working. López had to return to Mexico after her father was released from the hospital, but she flew back to Puerto Rico every time that the filming schedule allowed her to. In 2011, she participated in the second season of Univision's dancing show [[Mira Quien Baila]] where she was one of the top dancers and won the competition.

==Personal life and relationships==
López was the wife of fellow Puerto Rican singing super star [[Luis Fonsi]]. In 2006, López and Fonsi announced they would be getting married during the summer of that year. They were married on June 3, 2006, in Puerto Rico. On November 8, 2009, Adamari López and Luis Fonsi released a joint statement where they announced they were separating. They were divorced on November 8, 2010. In January 2013 López published a [[tell-all book]], ''Viviendo''.<ref>(January 7, 2013), Latina Magazine.

On March 22, 2005, López held a press conference in San Juan announcing she had been diagnosed with [[breast cancer]]. Her then-boyfriend, Luis Fonsi, announced at the same press conference that he was cancelling his 2005 international tour to be by her side. She was expected to recover, as her cancer was caught at "stage 1," which is a very early stage, and it had not spread to other areas of her body.

She underwent cancer surgery. In 2006, it was reported that she is in remission. Since being diagnosed, she has campaigned for breast cancer awareness.<ref>(September 11, 2012), [http://thehotspotorlando.com/2012/09/11/yoplait-kicks-off-its-fifth-annual-hispanic-lids-for-life-tour-with-actress-and-breast-cancer-survivor-adamari-lopez/ "Yoplait® Kicks Off Its Fifth Annual Hispanic Lids For Life Tour With Actress And Breast Cancer Survivor Adamari Lopez"].

In December 2016, a [[right to live|right-to-live]] lawsuit against Vergara was initiated in Louisiana with Vergara's embryos as [[plaintiff]]s. The embryos were named "Emma" and "Isabella" in the lawsuit, and their "trustee" was listed as James Charbonnet, a [[New Orleans]] resident of no relation to Vergara. The intent of the suit was to give the embryos a chance to further develop using a [[surrogacy|surrogate carrier]], hence to be born, and to benefit from an [[inheritance]] trust that had been created for them and is administered by Charbonnet.<ref name="zadrozny">{{cite news |url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/12/08/crazy-vergara-embryo-case-could-open-floodgates.html| author=Brandy Zadrozny| title=Sofia Vergara Embryo Case Could Open Floodgates| publisher=[[The Daily Beast]] |date=December 8, 2016| access-date=December 9, 2016}}</ref><ref name="esmith">{{cite news |url=http://pagesix.com/2016/12/06/sofia-vergara-sued-by-her-own-embryos/ |author=Emily Smith |title=Sofia Vergara sued by her own embryos| publisher=[[New York Post]]| date=December 6, 2016 |access-date=December 8, 2016}}</ref> While a contract between Vergara and Loeb had been signed prior to the creation of the embryos stipulating that neither party could use the embryos without the consent of the other, the lawsuit had tried to void this agreement.<ref name="esmith" /> Loeb had written “Keeping them frozen forever is tantamount to killing them,” in a 2015 [[op-ed]] in the ''[[New York Times]]''.<ref>

Spanic has been signed to [[Televisa]], [[Telemundo]], [[TV Azteca]] and [[Venevisión]].

==Early life==

Spanic was born in [[Caracas]] and raised in [[Ortiz, Guárico|Ortiz]], to [[Croats|Croatian]] father Casimiro Španić and Venezuelan mother Norma Utrera. She has a twin sister, [[Daniela Spanic]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://la.eonline.com/venezuela/enews/la-gemela-de-gaby-spanic-se-cambioel-apellido-para-desvincularse-de-su-hermana/|title=La gemela de Gaby Spanic se cambió el apellido para desvincularse de su hermana - E!

She studied [[Psychology]] in Caracas at [[Andrés Bello Catholic University]] for a year but left university to pursue an acting career.

==Career==

Spanic's career started in 1992 when she joined the [[Miss Venezuela]] contest, representing her home state, [[Guárico]], which served as a platform to launch her acting career, with appearances in Venezuelan telenovelas such as ''Morena Clara'', where she portrayed the villain Linda Prado.

In 1994, Spanic had her first leading role in the telenovela ''Como Tu Ninguna'', which aired for two years and became one of the largest novelas of the country and had an enormous success, including internationally.

After playing Amaranta in ''Todo por tu Amor'' (1997), Spanic moved to Mexico, where she acted in ''[[La usurpadora (1998 TV series)|La usurpadora]]'' (1998), portraying twins Paola and Paulina, which came to worldwide success when the novela was transmitted to more than 125 countries around the world and became one of the most popular telenovelas in the Spanish-speaking world. ''La Usurpadora'' was the first novela to win more than 20 points in the grid of the TV American audience.

In 2000 Gabriela Spanic co-hosted the [[OTI Festival]] in its last edition, which was held in [[Acapulco]].

Spanic acted in other [[Televisa]] productions such as ''[[Por Tu Amor]]'' (1999), and ''[[La Intrusa (Venezuelan telenovela)|La intrusa]]'' (2001), before signing with [[Telemundo]], starring in ''[[La Venganza (Colombian telenovela)|La venganza]]'' (2002), ''[[Prisionera]]'' (2004) and ''[[Tierra de pasiones]]'' (2006).

'''Villanueva''' is a [[municipality]] in the [[Honduras|Honduran]] [[Departments of Honduras|department]] of [[Cortés department|Cortés]].

Villanueva lies south of [[San Pedro Sula]] by approximately 20 miles. The city and surrounding towns such as Dos Caminos lie on the main highway connecting the cities of San Pedro Sula and the capital city [[Tegucigalpa]].

Many manufacturing facilities and agricultural areas are located within the department. The majority of the population is employed by the textile, plastic, and other factories within the department. Sugarcane is the primary crop grown within the department. The presence of sugarcane production tends to cover the area with a thick layer of what the locals call "el nieve negra“, which means “black snow”.

==Demographics==

The large majority of the population are of Latin descent with small communities of Garifino people throughout.

Poverty is endemic throughout the area, with many people without clean drinking water or stable electricity. Power and water outages are common.
