Tatiana Capote

The Venezuelan actress Tatiana Capote was born in Cuba at August 15th, 1962 and she is the daughter of the well-known Cuban-Venezuelan actor Julio Capote and she is also the younger sister of the Venezuelan actress-singer Marita Capote, for what is not surprising from where her artistic facet comes. In 1969, at 7 years old, Tatiana escapes from Cuba with their family to live in Caracas and works with her father in the soap opera "Bárbara", which were starring by the Mexican actress Hilda Aguirre and the Venezuelan actors Edmundo Arias and Doris Wells. Later on, Tatiana intervenes during her childhood in other soap operas, among them "Raquel" (1974) where, by the way, her sister Marita also worked. In 1979, Tatiana competes in the Miss Venezuela Pageant (she was Miss Barinas State) and obtains the first runner-up title (the winner was Maritza Sayalero who after was Miss Universe in these same year) and the chance to contest in Miss World but, being favorite, she is disqualified due to a polemic incident happened during the general rehearsal. When she returns to Venezuela, Tatiana recaptures the performance and she returns to television as the daughter of Marina Baura and Gustavo Rodríguez in the soap opera "Natalia de 8 a 9" and, with her beauty and talent, Tatiana becomes one of the main sex-symbols of that country and very especially in 1983, when she starring with Franklin Virgüez, the soap opera "Marisela" in that, both actors were consecrated as one of the more admired protagonists couples of the Venezuelan TV in the 80's. Unfortunately, due to certain attitudes of her character as well as some unhealthy critics by some media and also for other unlucky circumstances, Tatiana Capote's artistic career declines at 90's, also coinciding with their risky sentimental life which was not exempt of scandals (between 1983 and 1988 she was married with the lawyer Pedro Mollet, the father of their only daughter Taniusha, born in 1985; and between 1990 and 1994, with the radio announcer Valdemaro Martínez and both marriages was finished in divorce). About this time, Tatiana says: "I never shouldn't converted my private life in one endless show; in many times I wasn't reserved, I said many things that now I am sorry, but I never makes it again this mistake" but even this way, Tatiana keeps the hope of recovering her lost fame as well as her sentimental stability. "I know that something better will come soon..."
