Biography and career

Marcela Osorio was born in the city of Valparaíso, in the homonymous province, Chile. At age 12, for political reasons, her family moved to Barcelona, Spain. Four years later she would move to live alone in Italy.

In Italy, without acting studies, she made her debut in theater at the age of 17, achieving some brief participations, until in 1983 the writer Antonio Skármeta invited her to participate in the making of his film Burning Patience based on the novel Ardiente paciencia, in the leading role of Beatriz González, the young and naive girl seduced by a postman, who, by plagiarizing Pablo Neruda's verses, manages to win his love. In this film, Marcela shows the sensuality that will characterize her career. The 1994's remake is better known internationally, entitled Il Postino: The Postman.

In 1986, she decided to return to Chile, where she obtained the main role in the film Sussi by Gonzalo Justiniano, released in 1987. Sussi is a provincial girl who arrived in Santiago, looking for a job, but on each occasion men seek to take advantage of her, however, a roommate, played by Bastián Bodenhöfer, conquers her with his mysteries and games. Sussi finally becomes a symbol of a government campaign, a stereotype of Chilean women, in the middle of a tour she discovers that she is pregnant and is forced to abort, in the delirium of fever, hallucinates that her lover comes to rescue her.

After Sussi premiered, Marcela Osorio debuted in television role in the telenovela La Villa and Mi nombre es Lara on TVN, in the role of Lupita, broadcast in 1987.

In 1993, she returned to the cinema in a Spanish-Chilean co-production, Ciénaga. The story moves to the south of Chile, a place full of mysticism and beautiful places. Marcela Osorio stars as a young woman married to a forgotten Mexican actor, whose golden age had been the ranchero music cinema of the 1950s. The film was directed by José Ángel Bohollo, who was nominated for a Goya Award for Best New Director.

In 1994, she returns to work with Gonzalo Justiniano, in Amnesia, in the role of Marta, a political prisoner held in a concentration camp in the desert north of Chile. The film received several awards at international festivals and an excellent review.

In addition to her film career, Marcela Osorio has participated in many television productions such as some episodes of El Cuento del Tío and Los Venegas on TVN, and in Infieles, a Chilevisión medium-length film. She also participated as a jury in the Chilevisión program "Cuánto vale el show" in the 1994 season; in the program Siempre contigo (2003-2004) and in the cycle Viva el teatro (2005) both of Mega.

Her last telenovela was Volver a amar in 2014 in TVN.
