Ms. Lourdes attracted even more critical attention when she shined on the stage. The Broadway production brought her glowing reviews and another wave of success. She has continues to juggle an interesting mix of projects.
Despite having spent twenty years in theater and film career, Lourdes still believes that perfect moments in business are yet to come.
Much of the adrenaline in me is created during rehearsals, as we create a show. The dress rehearsal and the prime show to me are something that is routine, completed work, which is already playing. And it is far less exciting - says the actress who began her acting career while the studying second year of the Academy in music theater. On small screens she first appeared in the role of Herbs in the TV series The Forgotten. Although some still recognize her as Herbs, that role didn’t leave acting nickname for Lana.
The actor should not be labeled by only one role so she could continue to create.
Imagine what it would look like if after the crazy Herbs from Forgotten I always played crazy roles?! How could I play a comedy or a love story? It is good that actor has its own name, a role comes and goes. I'd like people to remember me by my ability to transform, not by a single role - witness the famous actress of her first big role. In addition to this, Ms. Lourdes has achieved a greater role in movies and TV series: Boulevard of Revolution, Gorilla Cup at Noon, Family Treasure, Our Small Editorial Team, Second State, Prime Minister, Linden Street...
