After a 13-year hiatus from TelevisaUnivision’s soap operas, Angélica María will return to the small screen in a role that promises to become one of the most important in *Corazón de Marruecos*, Rosy Ocampo’s new production.
The news has sparked excitement among fans of the so-called “Girlfriend of Mexico,” who is returning to the genre that defined much of her artistic career following her last appearance in *Qué bonito amor*, a Salvador Mejía production that premiered in 2013.
This time around, the actress will share the screen with a cast led by África Zavala, José Ron, and Claudia Álvarez, who will spearhead the story of this new TelevisaUnivision production.
Angélica María and Her Comeback: A Character That Pays Homage to One of Her Biggest Hits
One of the aspects that has drawn the most attention regarding Angélica María’s return is the character she will play. The actress will portray Ornela Donatti, an elegant, powerful woman who belongs to a family of great international prestige.
Beyond the significance it will have in the story, his character’s last name serves as a touching tribute to one of the most memorable productions of his career.
The new telenovela is an adaptation of *Muchacha italiana viene a casarse*, a melodrama in which Angélica María starred in 1971 as Valeria Donatti, one of the most iconic characters of her career.
More than five decades later, the actress will once again take the surname Donatti on screen—a detail that has sparked nostalgia among several generations of viewers.
In *Corazón de Marruecos*, Ornela Donatti will be introduced as a distinguished heiress to a substantial family fortune and a well-known figure in the exclusive world of fashion, design, and fine jewelry.
She is an intelligent, sophisticated woman with a refined taste for art and luxury—qualities that have led her to travel to different countries in search of new talent, trends, and cultural expressions.
Thanks to that international experience, his character will have a broad worldview and will play a key role in the story’s development, becoming an influential figure for several of the main characters.
Although not all the details about her role have been revealed yet, the production team has hinted that Ornela will be one of the characters who will generate the most buzz as the plot unfolds.
A New Reunion with Rosy Ocampo
The project also marks a long-awaited professional reunion between Angélica María and producer Rosy Ocampo, one of the most successful creative minds in Mexican television.
Both have previously worked on productions that left a lasting impression on audiences, such as *La fea más bella* and *Amor sin maquillaje*, so this new collaboration is generating high expectations.
Rosy Ocampo has built a solid career developing stories that combine drama, romance, and family values, which is why the return of a figure as prestigious as Angélica María is one of the main draws of this new production.
With a career spanning more than six decades, Angélica María remains one of the most beloved and respected artists in the Spanish-speaking entertainment world. Her career includes successes in music, film, theater, and, especially, telenovelas, where she starred in some of the most memorable stories in Mexican television.
Her return to the TelevisaUnivision forums not only marks the comeback of a highly experienced actress, but also serves as a touching tribute to the history of Mexican soap operas.
With *Corazón de Marruecos*, the actress will once again demonstrate why she remains one of the greats of the acting world. In addition to sharing the stage with a new generation of leading actors, Angélica María will have the opportunity to reconnect with the audience that has supported her for decades and also win over new audiences with an elegant, complex, and nuanced character.
