Biography
At the age of ten, Lucero started her career as
Lucerito
in the children's television series
Alegrías De Mediodía
and
Chiquilladas
, where she starred alongside artist
Carlos Espejel. One of her more popular roles was in a
Popeye skit as
Olive Oyl. Later, she would share the spotlight with international artist
Thalía in the singing competition
Juguemos a Cantar
.
Her long hair and beauty helped her obtain starring roles the following year in the film
Coqueta
, alongside singer and actor
Pedro Fernández. Later, she would be cast as the star of the
telenovela Chispita
, which also led to the recording of an album that same year. Curiously enough with the emergence of Lucerito as a singer, she did not record the theme song for the telenovela. Instead that task was given to
Timbiriche, the most popular "juvenile" group in Mexico.
Lucero released her debut album,
Él
, on
Discos Musart in
1982. This album was largely written and produced by
Sergio Andrade, the man who would later become infamous in the
Gloria Trevi controversy. During this period, Lucerito's records were more novelty material than actual records as they were seen as nothing more than merchandise for people who loved Lucerito's cutesy charm. That would all change in
1985 when she released her album
Magia
.
Magia
was a change in style, opting for more teen-oriented pop music. With this record, she gained her first real hit with
Fuego y ternura
, written by
singer/songwriter Prisma
. The song was successful across Mexico and
Latin America. She recorded
Un Pedacito De Mí
, her last album for Discos Musart, in
1986. That same year she left Sergio Andrade's management and went to
Discos Melody. Lucero did not promote this album, which ultimately flopped.
In early 1987 she released
Lucerito
(later re-released as
Ocho Quince
), her Discos
Melody Records debut. The album was a huge success and brought her to the realms of Mexican pop music where she now competed with teen pop acts at the time such as
Timbiriche,
Sasha Sokol,
Luis Miguel,
Tatiana,
Chayanne,
Karina, and
Flans.
In
1989, after six albums and five films, she changed her professional name to
Lucero
as a symbol of her growth as a woman of 20 years of age. In
1990, she returned to television starring in
Cuando llega el Amor
, where she sang the theme song and won The
TVyNovelas Award for Best Actress. She won the award again in
1994 for
Los Parientes Pobres
. In
1996, on, she won the
TVyNovelas Award Best Actress award for playing triplets in
Lazos de Amor
.
In 1992, Lucero was in a
Head & Shoulders commercial, only seen in
Mexico, and other spanish-speaking stations.
Her wedding in
1997 was called the wedding of the year and was televised on
Televisa in
Mexico and
Univision in the
United States.
She later starred in a telenovela of
Televisa titled,
Alborada
. After her role in this soap opera, Lucero began to record her next album in the spring of
2006. She released
Quiereme Tal Como Soy
in September 2006. Her last promototion was the live record "
Lucero En Vivo Auditorio Nacional", and she has been in the commercial of
Olay Total Effects (2008) as herself
[2]. She recently finished shooting the soap opera "Manana es Para Siempre" where she played the villain of the story.
