What Juan Osorio said about the catalogue of actresses on Televisa

Televisa is one of the most important Mexican television stations in the country and a rumor that has lasted for generations is the existence of a catalog, which allegedly contains personal data of Mexican actresses. This in order to “offer” them to other personalities of the Mexican show business.

It was on this occasion that producer Juan Osorio decided to break the silence on the subject during an interview for Inés Moreno's YouTube channel and revealed whether this famous document actually existed.

In the first instance, the creator of soap operas like My husband has a family or My heart is yours noted that this type of controversies and stories have always existed, but that doesn't mean it's true.

“Who knows, for example, that Mrs. Dolores del Río or in her house, in a room, was Mr. Alex Phillips to put the light on it, and when you asked for an interview she said 'In my house and here'? Is it a myth? I mean, Dolores del Rio at the end of the road, those actresses... are myths,” he said.

In this regard, Osorio pointed out that because the company is exposed to all kinds of controversies due to the fact that it is dedicated to entertainment, so the existence of the “catalog” did not go beyond fiction.

“Televisa, imagine how many stars it has made, of all the cycles it has touched, and it would be bad for a company that is dedicated to entertainment that did not have myths, is that something is not working. Since they tell you that they scare you in a forum, it's a myth,” he explained.

The former partner of Niurka Marcos said that famous women who wanted to be in a relationship did not need “a piece of paper” as an intermediary, since they only have to date the person.

“Personally, I saw all kinds of courtships; suddenly I saw a Cristina Moreno with a hunk and waiting for him to come out of the recording. Love is love!” , he pointed out.

Deeper into the Televisa catalogue, Osorio said: “I never saw it and I would have liked it”. He also did not hesitate to joke and remarked that if it existed, he would have paid for a famous actress.

“The woman I was dying for: Fanny Cano. Now imagine she had been in the catalogue? Yes, I save and sell anything! ”, he said.

It should be remembered that Osorio is not the only one who has recently spoken about this situation, because during an interview with Yordi Rosado, Luis de Llano also denied the existence of the catalogue.

“It never existed. There was a book for casting that had it (Eugenio) Cobo (director of the CEA) and you chose actresses to make novels and series. For me, I never knew about that. I know that many actresses had many stories and there were many rumors,” Luis de Llano emphasized.

“You imagine that the producer is corrupt, sitting in his office with a cigar and 20 old women waiting outside. It's not true, the producer takes some terrible scrubs and if you do badly in a series the train takes you, if your novel is not as successful as you are, the train takes you. It's more myth than anything else,” reiterated the television producer.

Like Juan Osorio, Luis de Llano said that the medium in which celebrities operate was very prone to this type of controversy.

“That myth exists and will continue to exist because people and novels live aspirationally in a dream,” he said.
