Biography

Edith was born and raised in Monterrey, Nuevo León, México; she was born into a middle-class family. From an early age Edith showed a passion for acting. During a visit to "Siempre en Domingo", Edith was chosen among the audience to interpret a role with actor Rafael Baledón.

Having almost no experience or coaching as an actress, Edith received her first role in 1976 at the age of ten in the movie "El rey de los gorilas". After only two movies to her acting resume, she was offered the role of the quintessential spoiled daughter in the telenovela "Los ricos también lloran".

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s she kept busy taking part in numerous telenovelas, most notably "Bianca Vidal " and "Rosa Salvaje," and movies. [cite news

In 1993, when she got the offer to play "Monica" in the seminal "Corazon salvaje", a role she meant to decline, but accepted after much convincing from her brother. The series was seen across the world to much acclaim and helped revitalize her career in the 1990s. The series gained much press from the speculations that people made about both Edith and her co-star. While the series was being filmed, it was rumored that she was dating her co-starr Eduardo Palomo. Both denied the rumors, stating that they were only friends.

After she finished filming "Corazon salvaje", she became a bit selective of the roles she was offered, having appeared in a small number of series and films. Unfortunately, none of the follow up soaps she did after Corazon Salvaje were successful. 1995's La Sombra Del Otro was an instant flop. In 1997 she acted in "La jaula de oro" with Saul Lisazo, which had very little audience, and in 1999 "Nunca te olvidare" with Fernando Colunga, which was a bit more successful.

After having finished filming, she decide to take a short break; subsequent to finishing filming, she went to Paris on a vacation, with intentions to practice ballet and her French. Before returning to Mexico, Edith went to the United States to shoot a cosmetic campaign. [ http://fernando-colunga.tripod.com/Partnerki/Edith/ Fernado Colunga]

She has tried to cross-over to the American-film industry, but has had little success. She managed to work alongside Eva Longoria in the direct-to-video movie "Señorita Justice".

In 2004, Edith had to stop working in "Mujer de Madera" because of her pregnancy. That same year, she gave birth to a girl, who she ended up naming "Constanza", her father is the politician Santiago Creel.

In 2005, after a short disappearance from the media, Edith released "Venus", a lightly scented perfume made from orchid extract. [ [http://www.esmas.com/espectaculos/artistas/306485.html Biografía de Edith González ::Esmas.com ] ]
