Production

In December 2016 it was confirmed that Televisa was preparing a series based on the life of Silvia Pinal,[4] and that production would begin in February 2017.[4] Then in May 2017 it was announced that the series would be canceled,[5] but later it was confirmed that it was only postponed.[6] Because of this Carla Estrada said "It is a project that does not interest Televisa at the moment, so the pre-production of the series would be resumed in November 2017".[7][8] On November 16, 2017 the beginning of the production of the series was officially confirmed.[9] Filming ended in April 2018.[10]

Casting

For the role of Silvia Pinal in her adult stage, it was thought in Fernanda Castillo, due to their resemblance, but Castillo rejected the character because she was already filming the series El Señor de los Cielos.[11] On 28 March 2017, Carla Estrada confirmed Itatí Cantoral as the adult protagonist of the series through her Twitter account.[12] In a press release Estrada confirmed the participation of actresses Mía Rubín, Gala Prieto, Lara Campos, Nicole Vale and Sylvia Pasquel who will play Pinal at different stages of her life.[13][14]
