Liliana Abud (born July 5, 1948) is a Mexican actress and writer. She is known for her work in telenovelas and Mexican cinema. The majority of her work in both acting and writing has been with the Mexican television company Televisa.[1]

Career

[edit]

Liliana Abud had a successful acting career starting in 1975 and continuing for over a decade before she decided to transition to screenwriting. In an interview, Abud said that she wanted to be part of the creative process instead of in front of a camera.[2] Abud has continued to act occasionally, with her most recent role in 2019.[3] One of Abud's most notable acting roles was as Raquel Rodríguez, the protagonist of the popular American educational television program Destinos.[4]

Abud is a prolific screenwriter of telenovelas, beginning her writing career in 1986 and writing for over 20 shows. In the late 1980s, she cowrote the screenplay of Cicatrices del alma with Eric Vonn and submitted it to one of Televisa's TV pilot contests, where it won third place and was eventually produced in 1986.[citation needed] After taking a break in 2013, Abud returned to work as a writer in 2017 on En tierras salvajes.[1]

She has expressed that she believes in the quote "there are no bad actors, there are only bad scripts."[2]

After transitioning to screenwriting for telenovelas in 1986, Abud gained success writing original scripts, as well as remakes and adaptations. As a writer, Abud was immersed in the telenovela industry and was close with other professionals like Ernesto Alonso, who was her mentor.[2][5] She has also worked closely with producers like Salvador Mejía as the head writer on projects like Rosalinda and Abrázame muy fuerte.[6]

Personal life

[edit]

Abud was born in Xalapa, Veracruz.[1] She has said that she comes from a family of writers, including her uncle, who is the notable Mexican poet and writer Rafael Solana [es].[2]

Abud has a degree in psychology from the University of Veracruz and has credited it with her skill in character writing.[2]

Abud is married to Alfonso Rendón. They have two children, Alfonso and Paula Rendón, the latter of whom is also a producer and actress, and who worked with her mother on Destinos.[7]
