María Manuela Pérez Bosch Palos (born 9 October 1984), better known as Manuela Pal, is an Argentine film, theater, and television actress.
Early life[edit]
Manuela Pal was born on 9 October 1984 at the Medical Institute of Obstetrics in Buenos Aires. She is the daughter of actress and singer Graciela Pal, and granddaughter of actor Pablo Palitos.[1]
Career[edit]
Pal debuted as an actress at the age of eight months, in Coraje mamá, the telenovela her mother was acting in. This came about when the show's writer, Delia González Márquez, heard that Graciela Pal was missing her daughter, and added a storyline where her character becomes pregnant so they could be together.[1] As a child, Manuela Pal later appeared in Vivan los novios, an episode of Alta comedia, and a pilot for El Nueve with Mariana Fabbiani and Pablo Echarri. In 1996, she acted in the successful children's series Chiquititas, starring Romina Yan.[2]
After she finished her studies, she appeared in some chapters of Malandras, Costumbres argentinas, and Son amores. She also made her film debut in Palermo Hollywood, produced by Patagonik, in 2004. Also in that year she joined the cast of Culpable de este Amor, playing Luciana.[1] After this, she got a role in the Mexican soap opera Frijolito, and made appearances in Casados con hijos and Alma Pirata. She played the granddaughter of Héctor Alterio in Vientos de agua, a Spanish-Argentine co-production, and Fabiana in You Are the One.
Her first leading role came with the film Wrap Up, which was shot in Spain in 2006, released in Argentina in 2007, and in Spain in 2012.[3] Returning to Argentina in late 2006, she starred in a chapter of Mujeres asesinas, where she played Soledad.[2] In early 2007, Pal played Clara in three episodes of Amas de casa desesperadas for the Colombian channel RCN Televisión. She gained popularity as an actress with her work in Son de Fierro, where she played the comedic character Luli, during 2007. That year, she appeared in the pilot episode of La congeladora, a TV series produced by Gabriel García and Eduardo Lopilato.[4]
In 2008, she played the evil Franka Mayerhold in Casi Ángeles, which generated many positive reviews and established her as a favorite among adolescent audiences.[2] She played the main villain of the telenovela Herencia de amor in 2009. A year later, she was in the cast of Secretos de amor. In 2011, she played the repentant villain Paula Lezcano in Herederos de una venganza, and in 2012 she played Maggy in La dueña.[2] In January 2013, she starred in a chapter of a fictional series on the program Historias de corazón.[5] She also co-starred in the Televisión Pública miniseries Las huellas del secretario.
From late 2013 to mid-2014, she acted in Pol-ka's comedy-drama Mis amigos de siempre, which aired on El Trece. In 2014–2015, she was part of the cast of the telenovela Noche y día. In 2017, she co-starred in Amar después de amar on Telefe, playing Laura Godoy. The same year, she played Érika Martin, one of the main antagonists in the telenovela Golpe al corazón, also on Telefe.
In 2022, she joined the Civil Association of Art Workers (ACTA), together with actors Peter Lanzani and Gastón Soffritti.[2]
