I was a child when I saw her at El Internado and I fell in love with Carolina, when I found out she was Cuban made me very proud. You were a great star in Spain, now in Hollywood, hopefully Cuba will change its system one day and we can see more young people like her achieve great things. Many successes Ana and blessings, we hope the Oscar is yours, Cuba is with you always follow and admire you

She’s such an inspiration and I admire her relentless spirit of wanting more and knowing when to leave & go after more! She’s going to be an amazing Marilyn because of the energy, emotions, those beautiful big sad eyes of hers, her seductiveness, & her emotional acting that she can do. That’s why she was chosen. I don’t believe anyone couldn’t played that role! I can’t wait to see it! 💕🥹🫶🏽

Spain have only 45 million population in Europe, it is a small nation, but I could tell you they have so many incredible actors ... USA is discovering now Ana de armas, as they discovered Javier Bardem before and others... But Spain has a extrem high level on actors. And all are natural, spontaneous and really alive in front of a red pilot in tv. We are sincere and genuine. They never stop being themselves in interviews, no matter how much they are in the business. It's the difference from pretending.... and to be a real person.This is something that surprises and makes Americans always fall in love with us, when for us in Spain it is natural. Enjoy spanish cinema and spanish series... You will not regret it 😘

I only discovered her in "Knives Out" as Marta (from Nicaragua, Ecuador..?) as a nurse from Walt Thrombey, a great as always Christ. Plummer, and a private investigator Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig of course). And the complicity of Benoit with Marta is revealed. I do not tell more since I do not intend a spoiler. Cheers.
