Irán Castillo

Iran Castillo, born in Veracruz, Veracruz, comes from a family with Martha Pinzón and Carlos Castillo as her parents. She hit the spotlight pretty young, first landing gigs in commercials as a model—classic child star move, right? Acting followed naturally, and honestly, most people still remember her as Cecilia from “Agujetas de Color de Rosa” back in ‘94. That show? Total staple of '90s Mexican TV, and she basically became a household name overnight. But Iran’s not just an actress—she dipped her toes into music too. She was in the girl group “Mosquitas Muertas” in ‘91 (the name cracks me up), and a few years later, dropped her solo album “Tiempos Nuevos” with Sony Music Mexico. That record spun out “Yo por él,” which snagged a spot in the top ten. Not too shabby for a side hustle. TV-wise, she racked up credits in a bunch of hit telenovelas. “Soñadoras,” “Preciosa,” “Clase 406,” and, more recently, “S.O.S. Me estoy enamorando.” It’s like, if you watched any Mexican soap in the last two decades, chances are you’ve seen her. She’s got the trophies to back it up too—nominated for best actress at the MTV Movie Awards México for “El Tigre de Santa Julia” in 2003, and landed a nod from the Ariel Awards for “Victorio” in 2012. So yeah, she’s basically done it all—modeling, acting, singing, you name it.
