Ángela Meyer

Meyer was born as Ángela del Carmen Maurano Debén[note 1] in Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Her mother, Margot Debén, was a Puerto Rican actress and comedian, and her father, Mario Maurano, was a musician and native of Argentina.

Meyer's talent as an actress was soon recognized and she was cast in the lead roles of Tomiko, El Ultimo Adios (The Last Good-bye), Rebelde (Rebel) and Un Amante al rojo vivo (A red-hot lover).

Puerto Rican artists were beginning to face the dilemma of local television stations importing soap operas from Mexico and Venezuela which were more cost efficient.

They also produced for Tele-Once the show Ellas al Mediodia and the soap operas La Isla (The Island), Ave de paso and Yara Prohibida.

[2] In 2004, Meyer produced Tres Noches tropicales y una vida de infierno (Three tropical nights and a life in hell), which was presented in Puerto Rico, Orlando, Florida and Washington, D.C.

In November 2005, Meyer participated with Johnatan Dwayne in Calderón de la Barca's La dama duende, presented at the Warehouse Theater in Washington, D.C.[3] In October of 2020, the month before the 2020 Puerto Rican general election, Meyer announced her intent to run for the Municipal Legislature of San Juan as a member of the New Progressive Party.
