Maria Valverde

Maria Valverde Rodriguez was born in Madrid on March 24, 1987. an only child. Maria lived with her parents and a dog named Rufus (Golden Retriever breed) in a flat in Madrid Carabanchel in the neighborhood of Vallecas. She grew up listening hip-hop and funky (his favorite bands are Nirvana, Nelly Furtado and Dido). Maria admits that she was a rebel and he liked to roam the neighborhood. At first it was a college of monks, and then changed to an audience which came to notice her talent. Summers were spent in his hometown of Guadalajara, Almonacid de Zorita. A diagnosed celiac and vegetarian, Maria, who watches her diet rigorously, loves healthy living. At school she began to demonstrate her artistic skills (with a few scares because of a struggle with asthma)studying acting at different schools in Madrid.

Years later, after years of fantasizing of becoming a famous actress Maria would finally fulfill her dream when she was 16 with a leading role with Luis Tosar in a Manuel Martín Cuenca movie, La flaqueza del bolchevique, winning the 2003 Goya Award for this role.

By that time, Maria recalls, I was trying to keep my feet on the ground and continue to study high school, but the directors and critics claimed it for its beauty and professionalism. She then shot her second film, which had a tiny role as the daughter of Jose Coronado in the film Out Of The Body. Another short film, called When No One Is Looking, related to the drug world.
