Pablo Alarcón

Alarcón starred alongside Camille Carrion in the international hit Vivir Para Ti, which is generally considered by Puerto Rican television critics to be one of the best soap operas ever made in the country.

WAPA-TV sold the soap opera to stations in Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, Chile and other important Latin American markets where Alarcón was not well known before.

The couple began making the covers of Estrellita, Teve Guía, Vea, Artistas and other Puerto Rican entertainment publications.

But the Puerto Rican telenovela industry disappeared after 1989, and the Alarcón-Medina couple, apparently forced by work shortage, decided to move to Argentina.

They were viewed by many in the Argentine and Puerto Rican media as one of show business' strongest couples, but, eventually, they divorced, ending their relationship on friendly terms.
