Camila Sosa Villada (born 28 January 1982) is a transgender Argentine writer and theatre, film, and television actress.

[1][2][3] On 28 January 1982, Camilia Sosa Villada was born in La Falda, Argentina, 80 kilometers (50 mi) from the city of Córdoba.

[5] In 2009, Villada premiered her play Carnes tolendas, retrato escénico de un travesti (Carnes Tolendas, an on-stage portrayal of a travesti), a biodrama of her life which fused her personal experiences that she recorded on her blog, La Novia de Sandro [Sandro's Girlfriend], with the poetry of Federico García Lorca.

[6] The play, directed by María Palacios and revised by Paco Giménez, was selected for the 2010 National Theater Festival held in La Plata.

[6] By word of mouth, my name reached the director Javier van de Couter, who was in the process of casting for his debut film.

The good thing was that we spend a month rehearsing, and each department (costume, makeup) worked hard to contribute to the film.

She starred as Nina, the transsexual wife of a wealthy businessman (played by Luis Machín) who, after her husband dies in an accident, must fight for what's hers against her spiteful in-laws.

[9] Thirty one years ago, my parents had a son [...] I made dolls and robots, and when I was alone, I'd put on my mother's makeup.

[...] Now I am split between the past, between the man I was and am proud to have been, even though I had always known that, at some point, I was going to end up putting on a dress and a pair of high heels.
