As a result, she is quite spoiled and self-entitled.Catalina (played by Diana Garcia) is a lower class militant factory worker in from Cuidad Juarez. In that area, many women have no rights and are regularly murdered with no consequence. She bravely displays pictures of the women who have disappeared and could be dead. Yesenia (played by Daniela Schmidt) is a headlining dancer who is no stranger to celebrity. She spends time with her gay friends and has a great deal of support from her fans and the public. Her pedigree makes it clear that show business is in her soul and that it has always been comfortable for her.All of the women's family drama, romances, social struggles and dreams are displayed with a great deal of melodrama as they compete for the role of a lifetime.
