[1] Also broadcast in Latin America and on Univision in the United States, the telenovela tells the story of an introverted girl's infatuation with her teen idol.

The leading roles were played by singers Mariana Garza and Eduardo Capetillo, ex-members of the Mexican pop band Timbiriche.

Alcanzar una estrella turned out to be Macedo's last credit as an actress before she committed suicide in the mid-1990s.

Eduardo struggles to maintain a relationship with his gold digger girlfriend Déborah (Kenia Gazcón).

The third opening song "Contra tu cuerpo", performed by Mariana Garza, would not be released until 1992 on the Mas que alcanzar una estrella film soundtrack.
