Biography

Renata Flores was best known for her participation in a number of Televisa-produced telenovelas, usually as a villain.

She was a Mexican actress and singer.

Despite earning a good living as an actress, Flores eventually lost her savings. She became homeless and lived in a car and on the streets of Mexico City with some dog friends, until she asked for, and was provided with, assistance by the Mexican institution, Casa del Actor, which provided her with a home and with basic needs beginning in 2020.

She participated in many telenovelas, some of which were shown internationally in Latin America, the United States and further abroad.

In 1964, at the age of 14, Flores made her debut as a rock singer. One of her songs, "Mi Novio Juan" ("My Boyfriend Juan") became a major hit for the then young singer. "Mi Novio Juan" was a Spanish-cover version of the major English hit, "My Boyfriend's Back".
