5. INMA CUEVAS: “De ANABEL en VIS A VIS… a EMPRENDER sus propios proyectos”

An interview with the multi-award-winning actress, Inma Cuevas, where she tells us about the origins of her family, "The TV Clowns," and how this saga began with her great-grandmother in the circus many years ago. She discusses how she landed the iconic role of Anabel in the series 'Vis a vis,' how she too was told that "being an artist is a short-term fix that leads to long-term problems," and that when a role is meant for you, "you can't take it anymore." She also tells us about her entrepreneurial journey as a director and producer at Kendosan Producciones (a production company she founded with her husband), how a little white lie helped her get her first big television role, and how, currently, at the Kendosan School of Arts, they teach acting to students from a very young age up to university level. Fasten your seatbelts, here we go!
