From actress to soap opera director<\/h2>\n

Although she began as an actress, Duprez developed a distinguished career as a director. Initially, her focus was on theater, and on more than one occasion she expressed doubts about directing television. However, she eventually accepted the challenge and found in telenovelas a new space to develop. <\/p>\n
