Sofía Vergara, known for her role as Gloria Pritchett on "Modern Family," took on a new challenge by executive producing and starring as the notorious Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco in the Netflix series "Griselda." This decision was deeply personal for Vergara, as her older brother was murdered by a Colombian cartel in 1996. Despite initial doubts, the series was a success, spending six consecutive weeks in Netflix's Top 10 and earning Vergara a nomination for lead actress in a limited series. Vergara faced challenges in portraying the complex character, including learning to cry on-screen and dealing with the emotional toll of the role. She also had to transform her appearance to play Blanco, hiding her curves and adopting a more menacing demeanor. Despite the success of "Griselda," Vergara hopes to work with Latin writers to improve representation in the entertainment industry. She remains optimistic and emphasizes the importance of not dwelling on negative thoughts. [Extracted from the article] |
