Biography
[edit]Norma is the youngest of four sisters. As a child she aspired to be a professional dancer. One of her sisters, a dance teacher, taught her to dance sevillanas when she was four years old and at the age of eight she entered a dance school.[2] It was in the company of Miliki and Rita Irasema where she performed her first work, El flautista de Hamelin, which she performed for a year. She then entered the conservatory to learn Spanish dance. Antonio Canales and José Racero chose her for some shows, performing -for example- at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona.[3]
At the age of 19, an injury took her away from the world of dance, although she decided to continue dancing for a while in musicals to pay for her acting career.[4] She then decided to enroll in the TAI University Arts Center in Madrid. In her last year she got the opportunity, thanks to the direction students of the same center, to participate in the cheapest movie of the Spanish cinema: La fiesta, which only cost 6000 euros in 2003. Later she participated in the independent The tester, by Fernando Núñez Herrera. In 2010, she released La herencia Valdemar and the comedy Tensión sexual no resuelta and in 2011 La herencia Valdemar II: La sombra prohibida.[5][6]
She also participated in plays and musicals such as Sonrisas y lágrimas, Al compás son seis, Aires tradicionales, Esta noche hay que matar a Franco, Stabat mater, Por los pelos and El tiempo y los Conway.[7]
In television, she has participated in the series Aquí no hay quién viva[8] (Antena 3, 2005), La sopa boba (Antena 3, 2004) or Cuéntame cómo pasó[9] (La 1, 2006). Although her best known television roles have been in El auténtico Rodrigo Leal (Antena 3, 2005), Yo soy Bea[10] (Telecinco, 2006-2008), Gavilanes[11] (Antena 3, 2010-2011), Parejología 3x2 (Telecinco, 2011), Supercharly (Telecinco, 2011).
Between 2012 and 2013 she worked in Telecinco's Frágiles.[12] Also, she was part of the cast of two telefilms in 2011 about Carmen Cervera in which she gave life to Blanca Cuesta and Rocío Dúrcal, volver a verte where she played Rocío Dúrcal,[13][14] after the role was rejected by the daughter of the artist Carmen Morales due to discrepancies with the script, both in Telecinco.[15]
In 2014, she joined Cuatro's afternoon series, Ciega a citas,[16] and in 2015 in the Antena 3 series Algo que celebrar.[17]
In 2016 she starred in the series El hombre de tu vida alongside José Mota in La 1.[18] In 2018 and 2019 she played Bárbara in La que se avecina.[19][20]
