Credit: USA Network. It features Brazilian actress Alice Braga in the role of Teresa Mendoza. BTW, there are also some intense similarities between Ávila and Weeds’s cannabis- dealing mom, Nancy Botwin. Like Botwin, Mendoza is cunning, sly and clever. They both use their sexuality to advance their career, and eventually both wind up in prison.Ávila has lived a charmed yet highly dangerous life. Growing up in a wealthy family with ties to the Guadalajara cartel, Ávila witnessed her first murder when she was 1.

El Señor de los Cielos). Soon, she was orchestrating the cocaine trade between Mexico and the U. S.Ávila, who says she never did cocaine herself, was known to carry around suitcases filled with millions of dollars.Ávila says she never consumed cocaine because drug traffickers looked at women who did cocaine as “weak.” As one of the rare women in the drug trade, Ávila says she fought hard to earn respect.

She wore a necklace with the emblem of Tutankhamun, adorned with 8.

Never miss out on any episode! Reina del Sur - Kate del Castillo. Kate del Castillo may not be a household name in the U. S. just yet – unless you speak Spanish at home. The Mexican actress is the star of Telemundo’s hugely popular – and surprisingly edgy – telenovela La Reina del Sur, which translates to “Queen of the South,” a racy soap about an innocent Mexican woman who becomes the powerful leader of a drug cartel. The Spanish- language series has beat out major networks ABC, NBC and CBS in ratings for its timeslot and del Castillo’s performance as Teresa Mendoza is generating a lot of buzz. ![]() Here are five things you should know about the sultry star: 1. You may recognize her from that infamous pool scene in Weeds. La Reina del Sur isn’t the first time del Castillo, 3. Mexican criminal. The actress portrayed Pilar Zuazo, who threatened to kill the family of Nancy (played by Mary- Louise Parker) in season 5 of Weeds. She ended up floating facedown in a pool after Nancy’s son took a croquet mallet to her head. She’s a telenovela queen.
