Angélica María (born Angélica Maria Hartman Ortíz on September 27, 1944 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American-born Mexican actress/singer-songwriter.

She is the daughter of the American musician Arnold Federic Hartman and Angélica de Jesús Ortíz Sandoval, a theater producer. When she was 5 years old, Angélica's parents divorced and she moved with her mother to Mexico City. Angelica Maria is fluent in Spanish, English, French, Italian, Greek, German, Otomi, Chinese, Japanese, andArabic.

Early career

Her mother's sister, Yolanda Ortiz, introduced little Angélica to the Mexican Cinema when Gregorio Wallerstein, a movie producer, was looking for a boy for his next movie. Angélica told the producer, "Give me a haircut and I'm that boy" [http://www.lanoviademexico.com.mx/Default.asp?SelectedPage=1] . Charmed by the girl, he let her into his audition. She got the role in the movie "Pecado" ("Sin"). Soon afterwards, she worked on, "Una Mujer Decente" ("A Decent Woman"), "La Hija de la Otra" ("The Daughter of the Mistress"), "Los Amantes" ("The Lovers"), "Fierecilla", "Sígueme, Corazón" ("Follow Me, Sweetheart"). She obtained the Ariel award for her role in "Mi Esposa y la Otra" ("My Wife and the Mistress") when she was 6. She also performed in her first fotonovela "Rayito del Sol" ("Little Sunray"). She sang in her two next movies, "2 Caras Tiene el Destino" ("Destiny Has Two Faces") and "Los Gavilanes" with superstar Pedro Infante, who told her she would be a great actress, because she spoke with her eyes, as she did.

Teen idol

In 1955, Rita Macedo offered her a role in the play "La mala semilla" ("The bad seed"), which would be the first of a series of plays she was involved with while she filmed. When she was 16 she joined the telenovela industry with the production "Cartas De Amor". Next year she acted in musicals as well as in lucha libre movies such as "El Señor Tormenta" and "Muerte en el ring" ("Death in the ring"). At that time she was beginning to be referred to as "La novia de la juventud" ("Youth's girlfriend" or Latin America's sweet heart) and after her first musical, a journalist, Octavio de Alba, named her "La novia de México", ("Mexico's girlfriend" or Mexico's sweetheart) which is a title she would keep thereafter.

inging career

After a few musicals, she asked for her mother's assistance (who was also her manager) and together with Armando Manzanero, then a new songwriter, she performed the song "Eddie Eddie" which would eventually become her greatest musical success. Manzanero took Angélica to see a producer, and in the same year she released her first album in the Musart record company. The album was a success, so she began touring and making movies with teen idols such as César Costa and Venezuelan actor/singer Enrique Guzmán who she would date later.

In 1965, she filmed "Fray Torero" in Spain and came back to Mexico to work in two movies, and to record her sixth album. Then, she acted in such successful films as "5 de chocolate y 1 de fresa" ("Five of chocolate and one of strawberry" and obtained the starring role in the 1968 film version of "Corazón salvaje" a movie that made her famous in places as far as China. After joining RCA, she would later become one of the biggest stars in Latin America. In 1971, she acted in Ernesto Alonso's telenovela "Muchacha italiana viene a casarse" ("Italian girl comes here to get married") which opened the Spanish television market in the United States, and was a success in Central America and South America. In 1973 she met the aspiring singer Juan Gabriel who would become one of the biggest selling artists in the world. Together, they would record ballads performed by mariachi bands, thus creating the style "balada ranchera". The single "Tú sigues siendo el mismo" ("You are still the same") sold one million copies in the United States alone, and has since then been performed by dozens of other singers. She also filmed one of her biggest telenovelas "Ana del aire" ("Ana of the air", playing a flight attendant role) and recorded three more albums in 1974. In 1980, she recorded for the first time in a U. K. studio, making an album of ballads and a single record with two pop songs in English, in order to search some kind of crossover. During these years, she signed with Marsal Productions, then Caytronics, Melody, RCA again, and finally CBS, which was her last contract with a foreign record company. Since then, she established her own recording company in which she has produced 7 albums.In fact, her singing career spans through 2004, being her most recent album "Amor del Bueno", produced by Joan Sebastian, and launched by Ole Music/Universal.

Marriage

In 1975, she met Venezuelan singer/comedian Raúl Vale, and soon they got married. Their wedding was the first to be televised in Mexico. Soon after she became pregnant, and broke records in New York when her show was sold out twice the same day at the Madison Square Garden, a record that has never been broken three decades later. [ [http://www.lanoviademexico.com.mx/Default.asp?SelectedPage=1 From Angélica María's autobiography on her website] ] The next year, 1976, her daughter, the international actress, comedienne, singer, and impersonator Angélica Vale, was born.

In 1977, she made the telenovela version of her film "Corazón salvaje", released two albums, and performed in the play "Papacito Piernas Largas" ("Daddy Long-legs"), a play that would spun off an album, and broke the record of more than 1000 performances sold out in the next 3 years.

International tours

In 1980, she recorded her 28th album and created the show "La historia del cine" ("The history of cinema") in which she sang, danced, and performed various characters. She changed wardrobes 15 times without leaving the stage. That same year she recorded another album with Juan Gabriel and starred in "El hogar que yo robé" ("The home I stole") that would be remade in the 2000s as "La usurpadora". Next year she took her show in a tour throughout the Americas. In 1982 she recorded another "balada ranchera" album and obtained a role in her first English-language film "Matar a un extraño" ("To kill a stranger") and presented a second show "La magia de Angélica Maria" ("The magic of Angélica María") in places from New York to Chile.

In 1986 she starred in "Herencia Maldita" ("Cursed inheritance") singing the theme-song and releasing an album called "El Hombre de Mi Vida". She later acted with her daughter in a production by Angélica Ortíz titled "Una Estrella". In 1988 she divorced Vale and starred in a TV show titled "Tres generaciones" ("Three generations") with Carmen Montejo and Sasha Sokol. In 1990 she acted in the play "Mamá ama el rock" ("Mom loves rock") with her daughter and Ricky Martin. In 1994, she acted in Luis de Llano's "Agujetas de color de rosa" which would be such a great success that it was extended to 600 episodes.

In 2001, Reader's Digest released an album of her hits, and she acted in the movie "¿Qué me va a hacer?". In 2003 she got a role in "Sea of dreams" with Sonia Braga.
