Lucero became famous as a talented singer, actress and won the hearts of millions of viewers. But not all fans of the singer's work know what the path to fame was.
Childhood and youth of Lucero Hogazy
Lucero Hogasa was born on August 29, 1969 in Mexico City. The girl's father and mother did not have an overly violent fantasy, so they named their daughter after their mother. But the brother of the future celebrity was named after his father.
Lucero's parents were not connected with the film industry, and with creativity in general. But this fact did not at all become an obstacle for Hogazy in the process of realizing his own dream.
While still a young girl who was only 10 years old, she first tested her own strength as an actress, becoming a member of a musical television movie.
Three years passed, and the representatives of television again remembered the girl, who invited her to participate in the next short story "Chipita".
The girl’s colleague on the set was the incredibly popular Enrique Lizalde, who became famous thanks to his participation in the legendary television series The Usurper and Esmeralda.
Combining acting and music career
It seemed that after such a successful start, Lucero's acting career would continue, and she would regularly receive filming offers, but, surprisingly, the girl decided to take a different path and became a singer.
She recorded her debut album Te Prometo (“I Promise”) in 1982, when she was 12 years old. The public became so interested in the new star that two years later Lucero recorded her second album Con tan pocos anos ("At such a young age").
Mexicans consider the third disc Fuego y ternura to be the best of the singer's young work.
In this album, her adult voice is already heard, it was he who ensured Lucero's popularity outside of Mexico. Later this album reached gold and platinum milestone. The following creations of the singer also gained the status of "gold".
In the 1990s, she collaborated with Marco Antonio Solis, Pérez Botija. Many beautiful compositions have emerged from the cooperations. The girl even experimented in her work, chose a new rancher genre for herself.
Lucero recorded the album Lucero de México, whose collection included the song Llorar ("To Cry"). It was this song that she sang at each of her concerts, since it was this creation that became immortal.
In 2010, when the next album was planned, the girl not only sang songs, but also took part in writing lyrics and music.
The artist had more than 20 albums on her account, but she did not stop there.
Roles in the cinema
Lucero skillfully combined the role of an actress and a singer, so between recording albums she tried to act in films. The turning point was an invitation to audition for the television series "The Ties of Love".
Having learned about the plans to create a large-scale project, Lucero did not hesitate and immediately agreed to the role of a bad heroine.
She talked about how it was her dream. Hogasa constantly reported that she was tired of portraying affectionate and exemplary representatives of the weaker sex.
In addition, she was not embarrassed by the fact that in the next short story she was offered to play three different characters at once - she had to change voices daily, put on different clothes, change her hair and apply different makeup.
It was not uncommon for a scene to take 3-4 hours to film, although it only lasted a few minutes on screen.
After all, it was necessary to first depict one heroine, then change clothes and play the same scene in the guise of a second female character. It was not an easy job, but Lucero Hogasa did it more than perfectly.
Personal life of the artist
In addition, thanks to the shooting, the girl gained both popularity among the audience and the love of Manuel Mijares. Their acquaintance happened back in 1987, when they were working on the film Escapate Conmigo.
But then the 11-year age difference seemed to them too significant a barrier, since Lucero was only 18 years old, and they decided to limit themselves to an exceptionally strong and faithful friendship.
After almost a decade, all this resulted in strong love. According to the celebrity, she fell in love with Manuel at the first meeting, but she was too shy and did not dare to tell him about her feelings.
But at the time of work on the project "The Bonds of Love" there was no embarrassment and a relationship began, and then at the end of 1996 the couple announced their engagement.
The marriage did not have to wait long, and it took place in January 1997. It was a very lavish wedding on a decent scale.
One of the local television companies even televised the celebration not only in Mexico, but in all Spanish-speaking countries.
In total, the wedding cost the newlyweds 383 thousand pesos, and more than 1500 guests attended, including actors, musicians, and representatives of the political sphere.
After the holiday, the newlyweds decided to go to Japan for a month and a half and spend their honeymoon there.
What is Lucero interested in and doing now?
In his free time, a celebrity loves to be with his spouse. Together with him, she loves to watch films, especially those starring Sean Connery or Mel Gibson.
In addition, the couple love to play tennis and visit the gym or go for a morning walk that lasts at least half an hour. Lucero keeps himself in shape and monitors both his appearance and his own figure.
After the success of the television series Love Ties, Lucero again decided not to plunge headlong into the acting profession and focus more on writing and performing songs than participating in films.
She records compositions not only with famous singers, but also with her own spouse.
In addition, Lucero says that her cherished dream is a duet with the legendary Pedro Infante, and fans can only expect that she will soon be on the same stage with him.
