Personal details
- Professions: Actress
Mora Arenillas doesn’t exactly scream “mainstream celebrity,” but the people who know, know. She’s one of those actors who kind of floats under the radar, popping up in indie films and leaving you wondering, “Wait, who was that? She was great.” If you’ve ever caught Invisible (2017), you’ve seen her do that quiet, raw thing—no melodrama, just realness. The movie digs into the life of a teenager dealing with the kind of stuff most people wouldn’t talk about out loud, and Mora brings a sort of understated intensity that’s hard to shake off. Fast forward to 2024, and she’s in The Astronaut Lovers. Sounds like a sci-fi romance, right? Not exactly. It’s got this dreamy, almost otherworldly vibe, but it’s more about connection and longing than spaceships and lasers. Mora’s character isn’t your cookie-cutter love interest—she’s complicated, messy, and stubbornly real. Then there’s Historias Breves 9 (2014), this anthology film where she pops in and out, each time with a slightly different energy. It’s wild how she molds herself into whatever that short story needs—sometimes vulnerable, sometimes sharp as glass. People who follow Argentine cinema always seem to have a soft spot for her. She isn’t one of those actors who’s everywhere, but when she shows up? She makes it count. There’s just something about the way she pulls you in, no big speeches, no attention-grabbing tricks—just honest acting. That’s Mora.
Yeah, so she’s actually Fabián Arenillas’s daughter—guess the talent runs in the family, huh? If you’ve seen her in anything, you probably caught that same kind of energy her dad brings to his roles. It’s almost like acting is baked into her DNA or something. People love to talk about Hollywood dynasties, but Argentina’s got its share of acting families too, and this is one of ‘em. Sometimes you see her pop up in projects where you’re like, “Wait a second, why does that last name sound familiar?” And then it clicks. Not saying she rides on his coattails, though. She’s carved out her own space, snagging parts that really show off her range. It’s always cool to spot these connections—makes the entertainment world feel kinda small, honestly. So next time her name shows up in the credits, you’ll know a little more about where she comes from.
