 Catalina Sandino Moreno, actress   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
As much as has been written about the similarities between Colombian actress Catalina Sandino Moreno and the Colombian girl she plays in Fine Line's acclaimed offering "Maria Full of Grace," it's the striking differences between them that are the real story.
Moreno is really very little like the rural plantation worker who escapes to America as a drug mule; she attended a British school in Bogota, worked in theater and studied advertising at a university.
Moreno: When I saw myself, it was kind of shocking that I was doing that -- that she, Maria, was doing that -- like little gestures, like how I put my head and my hands in the air or how I put my mouth.

 'Maria, Full of Grace' reviewed on the official website of Laura Hird
Maria, played by Catalina Sandino Moreno, has an innocent angelic appearance but to look deeper into her eyes is to see an independent young woman who is determined to break out of her situation and survive, using her wits and common sense.
Catalina Sandino Moreno is a fine young actress who effortlessly balances a youthful vulnerability with a survivor’s strength and mother wit while the supporting cast is equally strong and real.
Maria is never apologetic about her decision and the course that she has chosen and seems prepared to pay whatever price that demands but she balances the tawdry nature of what she’s done with a compassion and caring for those around her.

Finding Catalina Sandino Moreno among the masses, “I instantly recognized the character I had in my head,” he says.
“Someone told my mother about the film,” says Moreno, who was earning a degree in advertising when she decided to audition.
As a Colombian girl forced by circumstance to traffic drugs (an illicit gig involving the ingestion of heroin pellets for transport to the U.S.), Moreno comes across as simultaneously fragile and defiant, smartly eschewing any easy stereotypes, making the movie, which is equal parts social commentary and crisply told melodrama, more than memorable.
