Biography

Talina Fernández was born in Mexico City in 1944, the daughter of Jorge Fernández-Veró and Catalina Vela Alcaráz. She went to study in the United States at a very young age. After returning to Mexico, she graduated in nursing from the National Institute of Cardiology.[2][3]

She married Gerardo Levy, with whom she had three children, among them the entertainer Mariana Levy, who died from cardiac arrest in 2005.[4]

After her separation from Levy, she married politician Alejandro Carrillo Castro in 1981. They divorced in 2015, after Fernández alleged infidelity on his part.[5]

In 1972, she began her career as an actress, with a special appearance on the telenovela Las gemelas.[6] In 1977, she was a guest star on another telenovela, Caras y gestos. She has participated in two other telenovelas – Muchachita in 1985 (as a co-star)[7] and Tenías que ser tú in 1992.

She has been the host of various specials, such as the Academy Awards, beauty pageants, and sports programs.[2]

Fernández has produced several television programs, including Vi, video y vencí (1988) and Gana video (1989).[8] She also produced the TV movie Buscando a la niña Heidi in 1988.

Throughout her career, she has hosted several programs, including Nuestras realidades, Rim Bom Video, Taliníssima, ¿Qué crees?, Nuestra Casa,[7] Hasta en las mejores familias, and Hoy.[9]

She was a presenter of the Teletón broadcasts in 1997, 2000, 2001, and 2002. She has participated and contributed to other programs such as Bailando por la boda de tus sueños in 2006, Big Brother VIP: Mexico in 2004, 100 mexicanos dijeron in 2005, and the 2007 Premios TVyNovelas.

That same year, a meningeal tumor was detected in her head, which was successfully removed via surgery.[10] In 2009, she had a supporting role in the series Adictos, where she played Lulú.[7]
