A vivacious actress with bright eyes, she has shown her talent in a wide variety of productions. Despite everything, she has managed to become even more popular as a champion of feminism. An opportunist for some, a guru of the movement for others, Leticia Dolera knows what it is like to be lynched on social networks, after becoming the protagonist of an unexpected controversy, but her career is on the rise.

Born on October 23, 1981, Leticia Dolera from Barcelona prepared herself conscientiously to dedicate herself to acting, studying dramatic art at the Juan Carlos Corazza school and with Eric Morris, in Los Angeles, and training in the field of classical dance. and he sing. In September 2000, he signed for Al salir de clase , a television series considered the quarry of Spanish cinema, from which young talents emerged who have since caused a stir, such as Pilar López de Ayala , Elsa Pataky , Lucía Jiménez , Miguel Ángel Muñoz , Paula Echevarría and Víctor Clavijo , among others. She played Ángela, Turbo’s little sister ( Rafa Reaño), one of the protagonists, characterized by her skates, and by her confrontation with Clara ( Laura Manzanedo ), although in the end both became friends. Despite the fact that today she tries to stand out as a filmmaker, she has never regretted having attached the label of having participated in this youth production. “Everything I’ve done has contributed to my career, and I am who I am because of walking this path,” she said.

That fiction –which marked a generation of young viewers– not only made her a popular face, but also opened the doors to other roles such as the nurse Miriam, in the long-running series Central Hospital , the student Jennifer in The Other Side of la cama , the disappeared daughter of Juanjo Puigcorbé in Besos de gato , daughter of Antonio Banderas and Emma Thompson , at the beginning of the military dictatorship, in Imagining Argentina , transgressive niece of Belén Rueda in Los Serrano , and two twins in Semen, a story of love . She highlights the young woman who lives with her grandfather in the 1920s, in From your window to mine , the debut of Paula Ortiz from Zaragoza .

During the filming of the short Mr. Rosso , by Jaume Balagueró , she fell in love with the producer, the then unknown Paco Plaza , who took it upon himself to seek financing for three similar pieces directed by the actress, Sorry, I Love You (2009), A and B (2010) and Inhabitants (2013). Although both keep secret about their private lives, sources close to them have indicated that they were married in 2008, in a ceremony in which there were hardly any prominent names in the audiovisual sector. Their most notable collaboration came when Leticia Dolera played a bride, whose wedding is ruined by a plague of infected in [Rec] 3 Génesis,the only one in the saga directed alone by the Valencian. She also played a small role, as a History teacher, in Verónica . In recent times, some media have speculated that they have been able to divorce, since they have hardly appeared together at events, she has stopped wearing an alliance, and they do not follow each other on social networks.

In the last decade, she came to collaborate with José Luis Garci , as the wife of Dr. Watson at Holmes & Watson. Madrid Days , and she made a fleeting appearance in the series Penny Dreadful . Shortly after she made her debut as a feature filmmaker with Requirements to be a normal person , also written and starred by her together with Manuel Burque. She plays a young woman who sets out to become what she thinks is an ordinary young woman. Despite the fact that the film is not complete, she shows some talent with a technical invoice that imitates American indie cinema, and has something of substance, criticizing superficial parameters that are considered signs of success in society. “She always made travel videos or film making-offs and edited them myself. Little by little I needed more, so the shorts arrived and then the long ones”, explains Leticia Dolera. “I became an actress out of a need to communicate, to tell stories and convey emotions to the viewer; writing or directing is one more way to do it. I would like to be able to continue combining both facets”.

Despite everything, his career languishes little by little; they are reluctant to give him new leading roles. On the other hand, she reinforces her combative feminist discourse, in public interviews, at the Syfy Show –an event dedicated to fantastic cinema that she presents every year–, on social networks, and at the Feroz and Goya Awards galas. After publishing the book “Bite the apple” in 2018 – a collection of experiences that show the need “to rebel against the patriarchal system” – and the outbreak of #MeToo, he became a kind of guru of the movement in Spain, until he becomes the protagonist of a huge controversy.

Recruited by Movistar+ to shoot a series, Let yourself go , Leticia Dolera was denounced by the actress Aina Clotet , through a statement on Twitter, where she accused her of having changed her mind and doing without her, after learning that she was pregnant. Soon after, she made her situation worse, after not taking the false accusations of harassment against Morgan Freeman too seriously . Despite her radical outbursts, she sometimes shows the more conciliatory side of herself. “Doing politics is living with someone who thinks differently from you, but with whom you can agree on many other ideas. That makes you more flexible, empathetic and open to dialogue”, Leticia Dolera declared.

After her lynching on social networks, the interpreter has continued with her career. She plays a stand-up stand-up in the comedy ¿Qué te jugas? , directed by Inés de León .
