Victoria Vera, an essential figure on the Spanish stage, began her artistic training at the age of four with classical ballet studies, perfecting her technique with masters such as Karen Taft, prima ballerina, and Leif Orbeng, director of the Copenhagen Opera. Her acting vocation was consolidated at the age of 13 at the school of William Layton and Miguel Narros, under the Stanislavski method. After debuting at the TEI with Bertolt Brecht's Fear and Misery of the Third Reich and excelling at the Pequeño Teatro de Magallanes, she was cast as the lead in The Diary of Anne Frank, the beginning of a career defined by freedom and talent.
In film, she has stood out internationally with the likes of José Luis Garci's Asignatura aprobada, nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, and Testigo azul, selected in Berlin. She has worked in co-productions with the United States, Italy and Mexico alongside Anthony Quinn, Peter Fonda and Alice Cooper. Her filmography includes blockbusters and genre films, such as Las adolescentes, La diputada and Acosada.
She became a popular TV icon with Blasco Ibáñez's Cañas y barro, which won the TP de Oro, also participating in series such as La saga de los Rius, El jardín de Venus and Ninette y un señor de Murcia, as well as international productions including Quattro piccole donne and Delitti Privati. She has directed and produced her own projects, including the series Dame un beso.
On stage, her range has covered from Greek tragedy to the avant-garde of Fassbinder, with authors such as Wilde, Valle-Inclán, Galdós, Mihura and Gala. As a theatre producer, she took risks with texts unpublished in Spain, such as Wedekind's Lulú and Musset's Lorenzaccio, even taking on male roles, which earned her the nickname of "muse of the Transition".
Victoria Vera is elegance, authenticity and talent, an actress who dominates camera and stage, and an entrepreneur who has experienced freedom first hand, earning respect and admiration.
