Blanca Portillo (born 15 June 1963) is a Spanish actress. ==Career== Portillo started as an actress in several small theater productions before graduating in drama from the Real Escuela Superior de Arte Dramatico. One of her most important performances afterwards was her role of Carol in ''Oleanna'' by David Mamet, directed by Joaquín Kremel in 1994. She made her film debut in ''Entre rojas'' (1995). In 1996, Luis San Narciso cast her for the hit Telecinco TV series ''7 vidas'',.〔(Javier Cámara y Blanca Portillo hablan de "7 vidas" )〕 The series lasted for ten years and ran for 204 episodes. Portillo played the role of Carlota, an insecure but brassy hairdresser who married Gonzalo, the owner of a bar which functioned as the central set of the show. During the same period Portillo was nominated for the Goya Awards and Unión de Actores Awards for her role in ''El color de las nubes'' in 1997 in which she played a divorced mother who neglected her child. At the same Goyas, she won Best Supporting Actress for the play Eslavos, which focused on the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the century. She also participated in the Castilian dubbing of ''Finding Nemo''. In spite of her success in TV and movies, she has never left theater and she has taken part in several plays both as an actress and as a director. In 2004, she left ''7 vidas'' to undertake a theatrical project in Argentina named ''La hija del aire'' (''The daughter of Air'') based on a book by Calderón de la Barca. She combined her work on this play with the film ''Elsa y Fred'' (2005) in which she plays a woman suspicious of the relationship between her elderly father and his Argentinian neighbor. In the 2005 film ''Alatriste'', based on a book by Arturo Pérez Reverte,〔(make me a man: Alatriste )〕 she played a male role, specifically that of a member of the Spanish inquisition. She shaved her head for the role. The following year, Pedro Almodóvar cast her in his 2006 film ''Volver''. She played Agustina, a friend of the central family who is terminally ill and looking for her missing mother. She then appeared in ''Goya's Ghosts'' by Miloš Forman, playing the 18th century Spanish Queen Mari Luisa of Parma, and landed her first starring role in a movie in Gracia Querejeta's film ''Seven Billiard Tables''. Here she played the lover of the owner of a billiard club and the daughter of Amparo Baró, her former co-star from 7 Vidas. In 2009, she featured again in a film by Pedro Almodóvar, ''Broken Embraces'' playing the role of Judit. Her work in recent years has seen a return to Spanish television, including a role in Hospital Central, and directing roles in the theater. She had a small role in the 2010 Javier Bardem feature Biutiful and the 2011 film La Chispa de la Vida, starring alongside Salma Hayek. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blanca Portillo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
