BiographyVerónica Judith Sáinz Castro (Spanish pronunciation: [beˈɾonika ˈkastɾo]; born 19 October 1952) is a Mexican actress and television personality. She began her career in the late 1960s with roles in film and television before rising to prominence as the star of the telenovela Los ricos también lloran (1979), a success that established her as one of the leading figures of the genre. Throughout the 1980s, she continued to build her fame with El derecho de nacer (1981), Rosa salvaje (1987), and Mi pequeña Soledad (1990), the latter of which she also produced.

Castro also achieved popularity as a talk show host, leading the late-night programs Mala noche… ¡no! (1988) and La movida (1991), both of which earned high ratings.

After a period of reduced on-screen activity, she returned to mainstream visibility with the Netflix series La casa de las flores (2018). Her accolades include eight TVyNovelas Awards (including two lifetime achievement awards) and the 2005 Spanish Emmy Award for her impact on Latin American television. She is the mother of singer Cristian Castro.
