Clara Alonso

Argentina 🎬 Actresses

Clara Alonso became part of the Violetta universe — the Disney Channel Latin America phenomenon that turned Argentine telenovela into a global pop machine — and in doing so became one of the most recognizable faces of a generation of Latin American young adults who grew up watching the show. The Argentine actress played Ludmila Ferro, the sharp-tongued antagonist who had more style, more interesting storylines, and arguably more fans than the show's designated heroine, which is a testament to what Alonso brought to the role. Violetta ran for three seasons and was dubbed into multiple languages for international broadcast, making Alonso's face familiar across Europe and Latin America simultaneously. Since Violetta, she's continued building her career in Argentine film and television, drawing on the foundation that the Disney series created. With 5 images in her library, her international documented presence is smaller than her actual cultural footprint, but the fans who remember Ludmila remember her vividly.
