Dori Media Taps Betty Star for New Novela

BUENOS AIRES, October 1: Ana Maria Orozco, who starred in the original Colombian Betty la fea, has signed on for Dori Media Group’s Cupido: The Business of Love.

The new telenovela tells the story of rival divorce lawyers, Victoria and Esteban, who die in a car accident and are on their way to hell. They swear to devote their lives to bringing people together if they are spared. With their wish granted, they are forced to work together, forming a wedding-planning agency that will bring other couples together, as well as open their eyes to their own affections for each other.

Michal Nashiv, the president and CEO of Dori Media Contenidos, said, “The return of an actress that is already a part of the history of telenovelas at worldwide reach is a great [source of] pride and we are sure that through her acting in Cupido, the audiences of the world will enjoy her charm and charisma again.”
