Bárbara Mori Ochoa (es) (born 2 February 1978) is a Uruguayan-born Mexican[1] actress, model, producer, and writer. She is best known for playing the main character in the 2004 telenovela Rubí, one of the most successful telenovelas of all time.[2] Since 2005, she has appeared as the lead in several Hollywood and Bollywood films, including My Brother's Wife (2005), Violanchelo (2008), Insignificant Things (2008), produced by Guillermo del Toro, Kites (2010), Cantinflas (2014), and Treintona, soltera y fantástica (2016).

Mori started her career in 1992 as a fashion model at the age of 14. Later she became an actress when she co-starred in 1997 on the smash TV-hit Mirada de mujer with TV Azteca; then, she starred in the telenovela Azul Tequila (1998). She has also appeared in several lists as one of the most beautiful Mexican actresses of all time.[3]

Life and career[edit | edit source]

Mori was born in Uruguay. Her paternal grandfather was Japanese.[4] Her mother is of Lebanese descent.[5] She has two siblings, actress Kenya Mori and Kintaró Mori. Her parents divorced when she was three years of age. Mori spent her early childhood between Mexico and Uruguay and finally settled in Mexico City at the age of twelve.[6]

Early work (1992–1997)[edit | edit source]

One day, while working as a waitress at the age of fourteen, fashion designer Marcos Toledo invited her to work as a model. She became independent by the age of seventeen and went to live with her cousins.[7] At nineteen she met actor Sergio Mayer, who would later become father to their son Sergio, born in 1998.[8] They never married.

She later studied acting in El Centro de Estudios de Formación Actoral. She made her acting debut in the Mexican telenovela Al norte del corazón. She then participated in the comedy series Tric Tac and Mirada de mujer the following year. She obtained her first TVyNovelas Award for her role in Mirada de mujer for Best New Actress.[citation needed]

Commercial success (1998–2003)[edit | edit source]

In 1998, Mori got her first leading role as "Azul" in the series Azul Tequila, co-starring Mauricio Ochmann. A year later, she filmed the series Me muero por tí in Miami, with Peruvian actor Christian Meier. Later, she acted in other telenovelas, including the Telemundo telenovela Amor descarado.

In 2001, she got her first film role in the romantic comedy Inspiración, the film was a box-office success in cinemas. In 2002, she played the villain as a seductive college student in the telenovela, Subete A Mi Moto.

In 2004, she signed with Televisa and starred as Rubí, a smash TV-hit and highly–rated Mexican soap opera, of the same name, which earned her another TVyNovelas Award.

In 2005, she obtained the starring role in the blockbuster film La mujer de mi hermano as Zoe, and her husband was portrayed by Christian Meier, with whom she had previously co-starred in Me muero por tí. In the same year, she lent her voice in the Spanish-language version for the movie Robots.

The crime-drama was filmed in Mexico City and is produced by Mori. The film earned mixed reviews from critics and viewers.[10][11]

In 2011, she got the main role in the action-drama "Viento En Contra", alongside actors Héctor Arredondo and Fernando Luján, in which she played a successful and promising CIO, who is unjustly involved in a police chase due to a scandal of a financial fraud. The film was distributed by Warner Bros and received mixed reviews by critics. The drama was filmed on locations of Mexico City and Valle de Bravo. Mori was the producer of the film.[12]
