The usual path to stardom, at least in the United States, is to take the long and often heartbreaking road to Hollywood.
But Coronado’s Mariel Molino chose a different route.
Instead, the bilingual actress got her start in Mexico City, working on telenovelas and Mexican comedies like ¡Muy padr3s!” and “El juego de las llaves.”
Now, the 27-year-old splits her time between San Diego and Mexico City, , where she is building a career in Latin-based film and TV. She even changed her name from Mariel Chantal Oberwager to Mariel Molino as a way of honoring her Mexican heritage.
