Anabell
Gardoqui "Ana" de la Reguera was born on 8th April 1977. She is a Mexican
actress who has starred in telenovelas, films, and the HBO television series
Eastbound & Down.
Reguera was born in Veracruz, Mexico. Her mother was a Miss Veracruz who became
a journalist and TV personality. She began her performance arts studies in the
Instituto Veracruzano de Cultura and was the host of Pasarela on Televisa
Veracruz. She left the Televisa's CEA, and then studied with Rosa Mar�a Bianchi,
Patricia Reyes Sp�ndola and Rafael Miranau. She also studied at the Centro de
Formaci�n Actoral de TV Azteca (CEFAC).
Her acting career began with her role in the telenovela Azul (1996) followed by
Pueblo chico, infierno grande (1997), with Ver�nica Castro, for which she
received the Heraldo award for best female acting, and Desencuentro which was
her third telenovela under the direction of Ernesto Alonso. Tentaciones (1998)
marked her beginning with the production company Argos Comunicaci�n. She was
immediately offered a role in Destino and Todo por amor, for which she received
the Palmas de oro award.
Cara o Cruz was the first telenovela co-production between Argos Comunicaci�n
and Telemundo, that was made exclusively for the Hispanic audience living in the
United States. It was later rebroadcast in Mexico, by independent channel CNI.
She was also seen playing Mar�a in the telenovela Por t� for TV Azteca and the
mini-series that followed up on Pedro El Escamoso, Como Pedro por su casa which
was a co-production between Caracol from Colombia and Telemundo.
Reguera has been in many commercials and television shows in Mexico, such as:
Mujer, casos de la vida real, Al derecho y al Derbez, �ntimamente Shanik,
Chiquitos pero picosos, La venta incre�ble, Ll�vatelo and C�mplices en familia.
In theatre she has participated in El cartero directed by Ra�l Quintanilla, for
which she received two awards from the Mexican Association of Theatre
Journalists.
In 2010, she began appearing in commercials for Kahl�a liqueur. She signed a
multimillion-dollar contract with CoverGirl to be one of the official faces,
along with Drew Barrymore and Queen Latifah, of its ad campaign.
Her introduction to film began in Por la libre, under the direction of Juan
Carlos de Llaca. Later she acted in the film Un Secreto de Esperanza and in 2003
Ladies Night, alongside Ana Claudia Talanc�n. In 2005 she played the starring
role in Gitanas which aired on Telemundo in the United States. She is perhaps
best known for her role as Sister Encarnaci�n in Nacho Libre, a film by Jared
Hess, director of Napoleon Dynamite. She also played a small role in the movie,
Cowboys & Aliens. In 2010, she played the historical Josefa Quintana, a mistress
of Father Miguel Hidalgo, hero of the Mexican War of Independence.
In 2006, Reguera hosted the MTV Video Music Awards Latin America along with
Mexican alternative rock group Molotov. She is currently working with Argos
Comunicaci�n on the HBO Latin American series "Capadocia" along with Rebecca
Jones and also serves as a spokesperson for CoverGirl cosmetics. Reguera

Ana de la Reguera is also heavily involved with charity work. Most recently, she
uploaded a video to YouTube in order to help raise awareness for Veracruz, her
home state, affected by heavy rains and a devastating Hurricane Karl. In the
video, de la Reguera advises on the various options to support, and offers
methods to make donations. The viral campaign went all over Twitter and other
online sites, raising much needed money for the victims of the hurricane. De la
Reguera also founded the organization VeracruzANA AC which is a philanthropic
organization whose mission is to raise funds and finally build a touristic
boulevard of Antigua- something that has been promised by political
organizations for years. Antigua is one of the most important and historical
communities in Veracruz, and the most damaged by the hurricane. This June marked
the culmination of her hard work and the Grand Opening ceremony for the
touristic boulevard.
Whether she is volunteering during a natural disaster, fundraising for those in
desperate need of relief, engaging voters, or spending time with her family, de
la Reguera proves that ambition can be applied to philanthropic ventures, as
well as a successful career that knows no boundaries, both in the United States
and around the world.
