LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, July 19, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Multilingual actress Pilar Uribe returns as Maria Beatriz Valencia for a special appearance in the Colombian telenovela limited sequel television series, Betty, la fea: The Story Continues, releasing July 19th on Amazon Prime Video in the United States.

Betty, la fea: The Story Continues is an extension of the wildly popular Spanish language series, You soy Betty la fea, from RCN Televisión. Uribe first emerged in the original series as Maria Beatriz Valencia, the self-absorbed, ditzy sister of Marcela Valencia (Natalia Ramírez).

Ana María Orozco and Jorge Enrique Abello are back starring as Betty and Armando when the new story picks up two decades later. Now, Betty must tackle the challenges of reconnecting with her rebellious teen daughter Mila (Juanita Molina), while her marriage to Armando crumbles, leaving her to ponder her life choices.

Uribe is excited to return to the most successful telenovela series of all time, having been translated into more than 15 languages and broadcast in more than 100 countries, and sparking multiple adaptations including Ugly Betty with America Ferrera.

“It was so much fun to see everyone, and to be Maria Beatriz again! Plus, I dubbed my own voice so I got to play her twice — once in Spanish and once in English,” Uribe adds.

A native New Yorker, Uribe earned her BA in Theater Arts from Sweet Brian College in Virginia. Afterwards, she started her professional acting career back in the Big Apple landing smaller roles on several American soap operas, including All My Children, One Life to Live, and Passions. In 1994, she headed for vacation to Ibague, Colombia, where her parents are both originally from, and ended up staying in Bogota for the next nine years. During this time the talented actress excelled with appearances on 10 different soap operas, including Betty la fea.

Uribe moved to Miami in 2003, reigniting her career in the states with a transition into voiceover that included dubbing, audiobooks and working as a radio host for the Miami NPR affiliate, WLRN. She made her way to Los Angeles several years later and continues to excel in the audio world. She has lent her voice for commercials, narrations, video games, and animation projects with her first animated feature credit in the franchise film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Currently, Uribe is finishing up voicing several top secret projects, including a video game, dubbing a series, and a podcast.
