Kate del Castillo Negrete Trillo (born October 23, 1972) is a Mexican actress. She is best known for playing Teresa Mendoza in La Reina del Sur.

Early life

Del Castillo was born in Mexico City, Mexico. She is the daughter of Kate Trillo and Eric del Castillo, a legend of the Mexican cinema's golden era and a soap opera actor himself. Del Castillo also has two other siblings; a sister Verónica, and a half-brother Ponciano, from her father's side.

Career

She made her acting debut in 1978 when she took part in a film called The Last Escape. She became well known in 1991 when she starred as Leticia in Muchachitas, a telenovela airing in several Latin American countries, as well as in La Reina del Sur and series "Dueños Del Paraiso" for the Telemundo network and in other telenovelas as a leading actress.

In 2002 and 2003, she embarked on an international tour alongside Argentinian actor Saul Lisazo with the play Cartas de Amor (Love Letters). In November 2007, she was named one of the "Stars of the Year" and in 2011 one of the "25 most influential women" and "50 most beautiful" by People en Español magazine.[1][2] In 2009, del Castillo was appointed Ambassador for the Mexican Commission on Human Rights and the following year she helped launch the Blue Heart Campaign in order to raise awareness and fight human trafficking.[3]

She has appeared in advertising campaigns for companies such as L'Oréal and Ford.[4]

Personal life

On February 3, 2001, she married football player Luis García. The marriage was dissolved on September 1, 2004. Del Castillo lives in Los Angeles. On August 22, 2005, it was reported by the LAPD that del Castillo's new house, in Los Angeles, had been broken into by thieves, who took some jewelry from the actress. del Castillo was in Los Angeles filming Bordertown, a film about the female homicides in Ciudad Juárez when the robbery occurred. In August 2009, del Castillo married Aarón Díaz in a Las Vegas ceremony. On July 26, 2011, it was announced that Kate and Díaz were separating.

In 2012, she posed in a PETA ad campaign, encouraging pet owners to "fiercely protect" their dogs and cats by keeping them indoors.[5]

During an interview with Cristina Saralegui on the Cristina Show, Kate revealed that her favorite band is the successful English pop band Duran Duran.

She is citizen of the United States and currently lives in Los Angeles.

Relationship with the Sinaloa Cartel

On January 9, 2012, del Castillo posted controversial support for Joaquín Guzmán Loera, the then at-large head of the Sinaloa Cartel, on her Twextra page (which is associated with Twitter), stating: "Today I believe more in Chapo Guzmán [than in] the government that hides painful truths from me, who hide the cure for cancer, AIDS, etc., for their own benefit and wealth."[6][7][8][9]

Del Castillo was contacted by Guzman's lawyer to talk about producing a biographical film over Guzman in 2014.[10] As a result, she was placed under CISEN surveillance. Communication increased following Guzman's escape from prison in July 2015.[10] She brokered an interview between American actor Sean Penn and Guzmán in October 2015, shortly before Mexican Marines recaptured him.[11] She received a cell phone (which was subsequently replaced once) and the codenames Hermosa and Dama from Guzman.[12] Penn and del Castillo recommend the American lawyer Joshua L. Drakel.[12] CISEN released photographs of del Castillo at the meetings and of the arrival of the actress and Sean Penn to Mexico.

Authorities found DVD's of La Reina del Sur at the safe house stormed during Guzman's capture.[13]

Both Penn and del Castillo are under investigation by the PGR.[12]
