Ana Claudia Talancon

Ana Claudia Talancon started out by performing in Mexican soap operas, doing pages and pages of heavy, emotion-wrenching material on a daily basis.
It's an excellent, albeit brutal, training ground for any performer.
Many fall by the wayside, burned out by the pressure, but not Ana! If anything she endured and prospered!
From there, she's moved on to mini-series like and Terminales and both Spanish and English-language feature films including Love in the Time of Cholera,  receiving both fan acclaim and nominations for multiple awards!
She has a bright future, and I, for one, eagerly await her next appearance! ;-)

Genre appearances include...

DollHouse(Galena)
Terminales (Abril Márquez)
Alone with Her(Amy)

One Missed Call(Taylor Anthony)

Después de la Muerte (Cleotilde)

BARBARELLA 4.2

When Last We Left Our Heroine...

After surviving the Excessive Machine, Barbarella ends up in the bedroom of the Queen of Sogo.
The pair manage to escape and free the blind angel, Pygar.
However, unskilled in piloting the alien craft they are traveling in, Barbarella crashes the ship, and in the ensuing confusion, the Queen escapes...

This multi-part comic strip was turned into a graphic album, and then adapted into a feature film starring Jane Fonda in the title role.

Barbarella wouldn't have a new adventure until 1974, when Wrath Of The Minute Eater was published in France.
Two more graphic novels, False Moon aka Moon Child (1977) and Storm Mirror (1982), have appeared since.
Of the three sequels, only Moon Child is available in English in a presently OOP graphic novel.
There are no current plans for any English-language reprints.

Nelvana Animation, proposed doing an animated series during the 1990s, but no network was willing to finance it.

Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, Machete) had a movie remake in development, but it died in 2009, and no one else seems interested...
