Adamari López

The daughter of an undertaker, Luis López, Adamari started her career at the age of six in the Telemundo Canal 2 production of the Cristina Bazán soap opera, alongside legendary Puerto Rican actress Johanna Rosaly and Venezuelan singer José Luis Rodríguez, El Puma.

Her talent indicated a future superstar. WAPA-TV next chose her to play Iris Chacón and Daniel Guerrero's daughter "Jenny" in Yo sé que mentía. She was a child actress playing an important supporting role in the story, thus she became a household name.{{Cite web|url=https://prpop.org/biografias/adamari-lopez/|title=Adamari López|publisher=National Foundation for Popular Culture|location=San Juan, Puerto Rico|language=es|access-date=2019-10-19|archive-date=2019-10-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191019110406/https://prpop.org/biografias/adamari-lopez/|url-status=live}}

A short, two chapter appearance on Vivir Para Ti followed in 1983, and after that, López decided to dedicate herself to her studies. She holds a B.A. in communications from the University of the Sacred Heart.

After reaching the age of maturity, she came back, participating in several plays at Puerto Rico's Teatro Tapia, San Juan's premier and oldest theater, and getting the attention of Mexican producers.

She traveled to Mexico next, after the invitation by the producers to try out there, and became a superstar in that country as well, working in many top soap operas, including Camila and the national super hit Amigas y Rivales. López also participated in Mujer, Casos de la Vida Real, where she played a victim of rape that later turned lesbian.

In 2004, López participated in the soap opera Mujer de Madera. During the recording of that soap opera, her father, Luis, a respected and successful undertaker, suffered a heart attack and had to be hospitalized and operated on. López was given immediate permission to travel to Puerto Rico and be with her father for as long as she needed. Her father recovered, but with only five percent of his heart working. López had to return to Mexico after her father was released from the hospital, but she flew back to Puerto Rico every time that the filming schedule allowed her to. In 2011, she participated in the second season of Univision's dancing show Mira Quien Baila where she was one of the top dancers and won the competition.

López was one of the original hosts of the Telemundo morning show Un Nuevo Día, which was relaunched as Hoy Día in 2021. On April 6, 2023, it was announced that she would be leaving the show after 11 years on the network.{{Cite web |url=https://www.telemundo52.com/entretenimiento/entretenimiento-destacados/adamari-lopez-deja-telemundo/2396973/|language=Spanish |title=Tras 11 años, Adamari López deja Telemundo|date=April 6, 2023}}
