Today, 51-year-old Pilar Montenegro is famous as a talented actress and brilliant pop singer.
Known as a member of the collective of the popular Garibaldi group, which is produced by the Mexican television figure Luis de Lano.
Childhood and youth Pilar Montenegro Lopez
Full name - Maria del Pilar Montenegro Lopez. She was born on May 31, 1969 in Mexico City. She studied at a local school and from an early age was engaged in creativity.
Participated in school productions, sang at concerts. A soft voice and excellent plasticity allowed her to join the Garibaldi pop group.
The group's extraordinary style in music and clothing often caused controversy, thereby further increasing the interest of the audience. The group remained active from 1988 to 1994, where Pilar toured extensively around the world.
The character of Pilar Montenegro
Maria del Pilar is a sociable and cheerful person. She loves to take pictures with "fans", sign autographs and is registered on several accounts in popular social networks.
Often shares news from life and openly communicates with "fans" on a personal website. Personal life is always forbidden, as the previous unsuccessful first marriage taught me to keep silent about it.
Creativity of the singer
In 1989, a young and spectacular girl was noticed by filmmakers and invited to a minor role in a Mexican telenovela.
Then the woman pleased the cinema more than once and starred in serial films: Golita de Amor (1998), Marisol (1996), Volver a Emprezar (1994).
In 1996 she released her first CD Sondel Corason. The disc included 12 tracks, and some of them became the hallmark of the performer.
In 1999, Montenegro reunited with the members of the Garibaldi group - Sergio Mayer, Luisa Fernanda, Xavier to record Reunion 10 in honor of the anniversary date from the moment of creation.
In 2001, she returned to the world of music again and released the album Desahogo. Of the entire collection, only one song became a hit - Quitame Ese Hombre.
This song spent 13 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Latin American Songs Chart. Later, this album received a "platinum status".
In 2004, the singer released two albums at once: Pilar and Euroregeaton. But they were not very popular. A year later, her last album, South Beach, was released, after the release of which her singing career ended.
In 2010, during the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Independence of Mexico, the group again brought the line-up together. However, some have abandoned this idea. Victor Noriega was unable to attend the release, citing poor health due to extensive work on the soap opera.
Then the vocalist Patricia Manterola also did not participate, explaining this by being very busy with a new art project.
Despite the incomplete composition, Maria del Pilar and the other 6 members toured all the cities of Mexico and the USA.
On September 17, 2010, we celebrated a public holiday in Mandalay Bay and stayed at a posh hotel in Las Vegas.
Pilar on the big stage
In the name of high art, the actress postponed the filming of the telenovela, which she planned to take place in Miami, in order to play in the musical play Las Noches del Salon Mexico. The previously approved candidacy of Yadir Carrillo injured his leg.
Nyurka Marcos, the wife of the producer, Eileen Mujica, Ninel Conde and Araceli Arambula, claimed the lead role at the casting, but director Juan Osorio chose Pilar.
The perfect proportions of the figure were ideal for the cabaret dancer, who appeared before the audience in skimpy costumes. The recognition of the actress outside of Mexico made it possible to take the play to the USA.
However, not everyone was happy with the overwhelming success, and the woman's ex-husband positions the choice of his wife as a big mistake. But he does not explain his opinion in any way, preferring to remain in the shadows.

Montenegro is insanely proud that she is the first of her compatriots to appear simultaneously in two versions of Playboy magazine.
On September 6, 2007, a stunning photo shoot was released on the beach in Cancun. Glossy pages adequately conveyed the natural beauty of the model.
The shooting was easy, and the result of painstaking work was noticeable, where she was in black lace underwear on an antique bed by candlelight. The baroque cover was worked on for about two days in Los Angeles and Malibu.
According to Pilar herself, her body is active physical activities and a healthy diet. She is not one of those who exhaust themselves with diets and sit on low-calorie foods.
Gastronomic joys take place in her life, and especially on weekends, regularly changing relaxation to sports.
The rise of an artist's career
In 2004, the artist signed a contract with NBC's subsidiary and Univision's main competitor, Telemundo. Soon she starred in the musical telenovela "Wounded Soul" and became a superstar.
She was even more recognized on the streets and offered cooperation with the main studios in Los Angeles. This is the "peak" of her career, because she worked with such stars as: Maria Celestes Arraras, Maricio Salas and Anna Maria Polo.
The audience loves the artist and is inspired by the special energy of a woman. Someone loves her as a singer, and someone likes her acting role.
In any case, this is an outstanding personality who proved that if you are born in an ordinary town and brought up in an average family, then there are always chances for a brilliant career.
In one of the interviews, when asked about how to succeed, she answered with a smile: “It is important to take care of yourself and develop yourself spiritually, confidently move forward and never stop, even if it’s difficult, then everything will work out for sure!”.
