MARÍA ANTONIETA DE LAS NIEVES: la eterna niña de la televisión mexicana | Pati Chapoy

On the eve of her announced retirement, María Antonieta de las Nieves gives a comprehensive account of her long artistic career, whose monumental legacy is that of the eternal freckled girl in the crooked sweater from the neighborhood of #elchavodelocho. María Antonieta, or Tony, as her loved ones call her, tells #PatiChapoy how her chance encounter with #Chespirito shaped her destiny, despite her determination not to become a comedic actress. But who would guess that, paradoxically, behind the endearing character of “La #chilindrina” lies a wealth of dramatic stories and tales of resilience? Among these are the death of her sister due to extreme obesity, and that of her mother from cancer… and, of course, the origin of the painful estrangement from her mentor and discoverer, from whom, despite being almost like a daughter, she was never able to say goodbye… Because nothing is as it seems.
