La Fama was a Mexican reality series set to find a new child star in 1999.
It was mainly a singing competition, but it also provided dancing and acting lessons to the contestants.
Fourteen children (seven boys and seven girls) aged 8–12 were chosen in a nationwide search to enter the new competition.
Each week, the two contestants that scored the fewest points were put up for elimination.
The winner received a record deal and an acting contract for a telenovela.
