'''''Colorina''''' (English title: ''Redhead'') is a Mexican [[telenovela]] produced by [[Valentín Pimstein]] for [[Televisa]] in 1980.<ref>''Un extraño poder: La novela que cambiará diametralmente su vida'' by Ela Gedovius</ref> It was a remake of ''[[La Colorina]]'', while remakes of ''Colorina'' are ''Apasionada'' and ''[[Salomé (telenovela)|Salomé]]''.<ref>{{IMDb title|id=0297620|title=Salomé}}</ref>
== Synopsis ==
Gustavo Adolfo Almazán is a [[Psychological repression|repressed]] [[millionaire]] married to an invalid named Alba. His life is dictated by his [[Tyrant|tyrannical]] mother Ana María.


[[Lucía Méndez]] and [[Enrique Álvarez Félix]] starred as protagonists, while [[José Alonso (actor)|José Alonso]] and María Teresa Rivas starred as antagonists. María Rubio, [[Julissa]] and [[Armando Calvo]] co-starred in secondary performances.
One night, Iván, rascal brother-in-law of Gustavo, brings two drunken [[cabaret]] singers to the Almazán [[household]] and they start a raucous party. This is how Gustavo Adolfo meets Fernanda, alias Colorina (on account of her [[red hair]]) with whom he’ll share a passionate [[Romance (love)|love affair]].<ref>''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0221738/plotsummary Colorina]''</ref> Ana María wants a grandchild and pays Colorina to have a child with her son, on condition that she gives it to Alba to raise as her own. Although Fernanda initially agrees with the plan, she changes her mind after her son is born.


This telenovela is well remembered for its daring move to feature a cabaret dancer/prostitute as the protagonist, a decision that would lead to Televisa being forced by then-president, [[José López Portillo]] under the wishes of his mother to classify it a [[Television content rating system|C rating]], moving it to the 11:00 pm time slot & changing the channel in which it was shown in seeing it as "improper" to feature a prostitute as the main character on prime time television. The huge ratings success of the telenovela however, and the fact that Lucia Mendez's character doesn't remain a prostitute for long allowed for Colorina to return to [[Las Estrellas|Canal 2]] and its original timeslot.

Colorina flees to [[Monterey, California|Monterey]] where she starts a new life. Twenty years later, Fernanda is a respectable [[matron]], the prosperous owner of a [[boutique]]. Colorina decide to return to Mexico and introduce her biological son and two adopted sons to the Almazán family to see if they can guess which one is Gustavo Adolfo’s son.

Colorina

Colorina (English title: Redhead) is a Mexican telenovela produced by Valentín Pimstein for Televisa in 1980.[1] It was a remake of La Colorina, while remakes of Colorina are Apasionada and Salomé.[2]

Lucía Méndez and Enrique Álvarez Félix starred as protagonists, while José Alonso and María Teresa Rivas starred as antagonists. María Rubio, Julissa and Armando Calvo co-starred in secondary performances.

This telenovela is well remembered for its daring move to feature a cabaret dancer/prostitute as the protagonist, a decision that would lead to Televisa being forced by then-president, José López Portillo under the wishes of his mother to classify it a C rating, moving it to the 11:00 pm time slot & changing the channel in which it was shown in seeing it as "improper" to feature a prostitute as the main character on prime time television. The huge ratings success of the telenovela however, and the fact that Lucia Mendez's character doesn't remain a prostitute for long allowed for Colorina to return to Canal 2 and its original timeslot.

Lyrics of the song

[edit]

Colorina
con tu canto de golondrina
y ese sueño en la piel
has llenado de ti mi vida.

Colorina,
corazón de ternura escondida,
bajo tu mando de amor
llevas mi alma prendida.

Colorina...

Nuestro amor no tendrá final
porque ha echado su raíz
mas allá del bien y el mal,
porque es puro como el agua de manantial.[6]
