Biografía y Vocabulario en Inglés de la Actriz Cristina Castaño
Perfil y Trayectoria de una Actriz Inolvidable
I heard once that when you want something you have to pursue it, and since then I have not stopped fighting for my dreams. CCG is an actress that, since I saw her, I knew would be someone very important to me. Cristina is a tall, slim woman with long, reddish hair. She usually wears elegant clothes, but sometimes she wears comfortable and practical clothes. Her most striking feature is her hair and her big brown eyes, which she uses to add dramatic or comedy effects in plays, TV series, or cinema. She has a great voice too (she participated in the musical Fame). I always knew that she was special, and in effect, she's really lovely, funny, and friendly. Cris has a very long career as an artist; she started in her native town, Villalba (Galicia), with the TV series Pratos Combinados, but it was later when she rose to fame with the successful TV series Al salir de clase and, of course, now with La que se avecina, where she plays the role of a pretty crazy psychologist. The thing that I like most about Cristina Castaño is that she is one of the few people in my life that I can trust. I'm very grateful to count on her always; we are good friends. In fact, we're going to shoot a film together in March. She's incredible, I hope you can meet Cristina!
