[edit] Biography

At the age of ten, Lucero started her career as Lucerito in the infantile television series' Alegrías Del Mediodía and Chiquilladas, where she starred alongside artist Pilar Montenegro. Later, she would share the spotlight with international artist Thalía in the singing competition Jueguemos A Cantar. One of her more popular roles was in a Popeye skit as Olive Oyl. Her long hair and beauty helped her obtain starring roles the following year in the film Coqueta, alongside singer and actor Pedro Fernández. Later, she would be cast as the star of the telenovela Chispita, which also led to the recording of an album that same year. Curiously enough with the emergence of Lucerito as a singer, she did not record the theme song for the telenovela. Instead that task was given to Timbiriche, the most popular "juvenile" group from Mexico. She released her debut album on Discos Musart titled "Él" in 1982, largely written and produced by Sergio Andrade, the man who would later be smothered with controversy along Gloria Trevi. During this period, Lucerito's records were more novelty material than actual records as they were seen as nothing more than merchandise for people who loved Lucerito's cutesy charm. That would all change in 1985 when she released her album "Magia". The record was a change in style, opting for more "teen" oriented pop music. With this record, she gained her first real hit with "Fuego y ternura", written by singer/songwriter Prisma. The song proved to be a big success all over Mexico and Latin America and was a sign of things to come from this up and coming talent. She recorded her last album for DiscosMusart in 1986 titled "Un Pedacito De Mi". The album flopped as that same year that she left Sergio Andrade's management and went off to DiscosMelody so she chose not to promote this record. in early 1987 she released her DiscosMelody debut titled "Lucerito" (later re-released as "Ocho Quince"). The album was a huge success and really bringing her forth to the realms of Mexican pop music where she now competed with teen pop acts at the time such as Timbiriche, Sasha Sokol, Luis Miguel, Tatiana, Chayanne, Karina, and Flans. In 1989, after six albums and five films, she changed her professional name to Lucero as a symbol of her growth as a woman of 20 years of age. In 1990, she returned to television starring in Cuando Llega El Amor, where she performed the theme song and obtained The TVyNovelas Award for Best Actress. She won the award again in 1994 for Los Parientes Pobres. In 1996, once again, she amazingly won the TVyNovelas Award Best Actress award for playing triplets in Lazos De Amor.

Her wedding in 1997 was referred to as the wedding of the year and was televised on Televisa in Mexico and Univision in the United States. That year and until 2004, she hosted the Teletón-Mexico. During a presentation for her theater show Regina in 2003, one of her bodyguards pulled out a gun and pointed it to reporters covering the event. The incident was televised and made national headlines. When Lucero was asked to make a declaration, she tried to downplay its importance, which caused controversy among the media in Mexico.

She was currently starring in a telenovela of Televisa titled, Alborada. After her protagonic role in this soap opera, Lucero began to record her next album in the Spring of 2006. Currently, this soap opera has some of the highest television ratings in Mexico, and the U.S. Spanish network Univision. Nowadays Lucero is promoting her brand new album Quiereme Tal Como Soy that was released in September 2006.
