Brenda Bezares (born Brenda Yamile Jiménez Loya; April 26, 1968) is a Mexican actress, singer, TV hostess and former model. She is best known for Vamos a ayudarnos, Liliana and Mi vida eres tú.
Bezares was born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. She graduated from the Faculty of Performing Arts in Monterrey, and studied classical dance for two years at the Superior School of Music and Dance of Monterrey. She studied acting with Xavier Marc and director Sergio Jiménez.
Bezares began her modeling career at age 13, participating in fashion shows for prestigious designers and advertising campaigns. Two years later, she started participating in contemporary and jazz dance workshops, as well as in university-level musical comedies such as Vaseline, Cabaret, Así es el show and Un cuento de Navidad.
In 1989, Bezares was named "Miss Nuevo León", a beauty contest that opened doors for her to later work on several telenovelas in the United States and Venezuela. She also worked on several shows on regiomontana television.
On June 21, 2012, Bezares presented her first album as a solo singer, which was titled Sueños Cumplidos. The production includes nine tracks in the Latin and contemporary style. This led to the release of her first singles, Demasiado Fuerte (cover version of a Yolandita Monge song) and Yo ya me voy.[1]
Bezares married TV Host Mario Bezares in 1991. The marriage produced two children, Alejandro and Alan.[2] Her husband was accused of being involved in the murder of Paco Stanley, and was subsequently imprisoned.[3] Family difficulties continued after his release, until Bezares was invited by a friend to attend a Christian congregation, which led to the couple's conversion to Christianity.[4] In 2013, Bazares suffered a pulmonary embolism[5] from which she recovered, and published an autobiography entitled Demasiado Fuerte, la Novela.[6]
