- Sofía Recondo
Sofía Natalia Recondo (born
December 2 ,1985 ) is an Argentine actress andfashion model . She is a native ofBuenos Aires . Recondo was inexperienced in the show business world when she was hired to play "Lucía" in "Chiquititas ", a major international hittelenovela that was produced byTelefé . Recondo debuted as an actress on "Chiquititas" in1998 . "Lucía" was an orphanedteenage r who was overprotected by her grandmother, and who had no contact with children her age. "Lucía" represented a challenge for the young actress: Since "Lucía" had been kept apart by her grandmother for so long, she lacked speech skills and enjoyed playing with children who were much younger than her, although she found a friend and, later on, romantic interest in "Roña", a character who was "Lucía"'s age and who helped "Lucía" make friends with the older children living in the orphanage house. Because of "Lucía"'s limits, Recondo acted both as a mute and as a (seemingly) mentally challenged child at the same time."Chiquititas" became an international hit, giving Recondo celebrity both in Argentina and abroad, including places like
Russia ,Israel and otherLatin America n countries.Sofía Recondo left "Chiquititas" in
1999 , and has been working as a model ever since. Unlike many of her "Chiquititas" co-stars, Recondo has not participated in other "Chiquititas" related films or television shows, and she has not returned to television since her stint as a member of the "Chiquititas" cast.External links
