Carolina Fadic(1974-2002)
- Actress
The talented and charming actress Carolina Fadic Maturana was born on
February 27, 1974 in Santiago, Chile. At 19, while she was still a
student at Academia de Teatro de Fernando Gonzalez (Fernando Gonzalez's
Academy of Drama) she broke into a major TV success "Rompecorazón"
(Heartbreaker, 1994), playing the main role of the series. The viewers
were deeply captivated with her stunning beauty and her fresh, wicked
style, mixing most of the main elements that had made other young
actresses turn into icons for a whole generation. Later she starred in
more TV hits:
Estúpido Cupido (1995)
(Stupid Cupid, 1995), "Oro Verde" (Green Gold, 1997) and
Iorana (1998), but her debut on the
big screen came by playing a ghost in the movie about a well-known
urban legend from Santiago:
La rubia de Kennedy (1995)
(The Blonde From Kennedy), despite the poor reviews the film received,
she established herself as one of the most promising Chilean actresses.
In the making of some ads campaign in Uruguay, Carolina met the one who would become her husband, Gabriel del Carril (a director) and father of their only son, Pedro (born in 1996). After these big changes on her life, she took temporary leave from mainstream TV series and entered into more alternative dramatic arts on stage. Her "independent" way allowed her to demonstrate her talent and she soon gained a reputation as mature actress (the most important among them being "Los Jerarcas" (2001).
At the new millennium, Carolina mixed multiple roles in many diverse topics, she got the main role in the film Antonia (2001), went back into TV series (in main and supporting roles), and acted on stage. Her appearances on the excellent, but short-lived TV release "Plaza Italia" opened the door to her first own show "Primer Plano" (Close-up), an entertaining glance at show-business and celebrity gossip, where the hyperkinetic hostess simply stole the show with her funny, irreverent style. The night of Wednesday October 9, 2002, and shortly after broadcasting a note about a fashion event, she suffered a brain attack caused by some kind of aneurysm, and after just 2 days in a coma, Carolina died at age 28. Many people cried at the unbearable loss of one who may be, by far, the most beautiful and lovely actress whom Chileans ever met and will never forget.
