Ana Isabel Alonso Gómez (born 11 November 1964 in Barakaldo, Biscay, Spain), better known as Anabel Alonso, is a Spanish actress and comedian who has appeared in theatre plays, movies and television shows, including the popular sitcom 7 Vidas and the animated film Finding Nemo (as the voice of Dory).[1] She also hosted several different television programs.

Main roles

Her best known role is arguably playing Diana Freire in the popular Spanish sitcom 7 Vidas, loosely based on the American sitcom Friends. In it, she played a naive second-rate actress that as time passes comes to realize her lesbianism. The portrayal of a lesbian character going against conventional stereotypes in prime time television led to Alonso becoming a gay icon.[2] As 7 Vidas was a show known for introducing current (mostly Spanish-related, but not exclusively) topics in a comedy key, the character of Diana dealt with issues such as same-sex marriage or adoption by same-sex couples (including a powerful speech in one episode against people who reject gay adoption). Diana came across as a funny, klutzy, very sexual character, and was one of the longest-standing characters of the show.[3]

Another well-known role of Alonso is her successful portrayal of the fish Dory in the European Spanish-language version of the movie Finding Nemo,[4] for which she received rave reviews.[5] She reprised her role in Finding Dory (2016).[6]

Her father died on 28 February 2015 at the age of 89 while she was working on El Eunuco.[7] In 2018 she replaced Silvia Abril during season 3 episode 14 in the TV program Cero en Historia.[8]
