ERNESTO ALONSO: La ASQUEROSA VERDAD que Ocultó 50 Años... y la EMPLEADA que se QUEDÓ con TODO.

Ernesto Alonso produced 157 telenovelas over 50 years. He launched the careers of Salma Hayek, Victoria Ruffo, Erika Buenfil, and Lucía Méndez. He made Mexico cry every night for five decades. They called him "The Lord of Telenovelas." But behind that title was a story none of his telenovelas would have dared to tell. An adopted son he abandoned for his own daughter-in-law. A domestic worker who started cleaning floors and ended up inheriting an empire of 172 works. A dark love affair that lasted four years and that two people kept silent for decades because in the Mexico they lived in, silence was the only possible protection. And a basement in Polanco that no one officially opened after his death. This is the story of what "The Lord of Telenovelas" chose and what those choices cost those who lived close to him. The story he never put on screen because doing so would have meant naming him. And some things in Ernesto Alonso's life never had a name. #ErnestoAlonso #TheLordOfTelenovelas #EduardoYañez #GoldenAgeOfMexicanCinema #FameAndAshes
