Yareli, a multifaceted actress, has made a name for herself in the film industry through her diverse and extensive range of characters. Her most notable roles include Rosaura, the "mean" sister in the iconic film "Like Water for Chocolate", and Lila, "the missing link" in the critically acclaimed film "A Day Without a Mexican", which she co-wrote and produced.
Born in Mexico City, Yareli is proud of her "Amexican" heritage, a term she uses to describe her unique blend of Mexican and American cultures. She spent her high school years in Kansas, before pursuing higher education at the University of California, San Diego, where she earned both her Bachelor's degree in Political Science and her Master's degree in Theatre.
Yareli's personal life is just as fascinating as her professional one. She is married to the talented film director, rock musician, and artist, Sergio Arau, whom she met on the set of "Like Water for Chocolate".
