Estrellita mía is a TV series adaptation of the radionovela El ángel perverso written by Delia Fiallo.
The story has been adapted numerous times before: Venezuelan TV network Venevisión originally turned it into the series Lucecita in 1967, and again in 1972 under the same title, followed by a version called Virginia in 1983; in Argentina, the story was originally broadcast as the series Estrellita, esa pobre campesina in 1968 and was subsequently adapted as the film Lucecita in 1976.
Her song "Necesito creer otra vez" was used as the series' music theme and later appeared on her album Con amor.
On January 18, 2022, the series was added to Disney+ as Stellina but faced backlash and was removed in May of the same year due to concerns over Sony's rights ownership.
