Life

Edith González was born in 1964 to Ofelia Fuentes and the accountant Efrain González into a wealthy middle-class family. The family lived in Monterrey , where González grew up. She developed a passion for acting at an early age. When her mother was attending a show with her, she was discovered by accident by a producer on the show who was looking for a blonde, blue-eyed girl and saw her sitting in the audience. At the age of five she played her first major role as "Cossette" in Los Miserables . At the age of 15 she embodied the “epitome of a spoiled daughter” in the Mexican telenovela Los ricos también Lloran (Even the rich cry), through which she became known in Mexico.

During the 1970s and 1980s she starred in numerous series, especially Bianca Vidal and Rosa Salvaje , but also made a few films in Mexico City . In 1993 she received the offer to play "Monica" in Corazon Salvaje , which she only accepted at the urging of her brother. The series became a worldwide success. After that she had some less successful roles. In 1997 González worked alongside Saul Lisazo in La Jaula de Oro , which, however, received little attention. In the same year she got the lead role in the musical Aventurera under the direction of Carmen Salinas . In 1999 she worked successfully alongside Fernando Colunga in Nunca te Olvidare .

In the years that followed, González traveled to Paris for some time to learn ballet, dance and French, from there to Los Angeles to take part in a cosmetics advertising campaign and to improve her English skills and performance. In 2001 she returned to Mexico and continued her acting career with the series Salomé . In 2003, she starred alongside Eva Longoria Parker as a Miami cop in the direct-to-video action thriller Señorita Justice .

In 2004, due to her pregnancy, she again took a break so that she could devote herself to the birth of her daughter. From 2005 to 2007 she served as a juror in the first two seasons of the entertainment show Bailando por un Sueño and Reyes de la pista and Bailando por la boda de mi suenos . During this time she worked in Mundo de Fieras and Palabra de Mujer . In 2008 González went to Colombia to star in Dona Barbara , a production for Telemundo , a series based on the book of the same name by Venezuelan author Rómulo Gallegos .

In 2008, González announced that her daughter's father was the Mexican politician Santiago Creel . On September 24, 2010 she married the businessman Lorenzo Lazo Margáin .

She died of ovarian cancer at the age of 54 .
