Angélica Vale is know for hit telenovelas like "Amigas y Rivales" and "La Fea Más Bella," as well as huge flops like "La Fan." The telenovela actress is one of the most beloved comedians in entertainment and was born into this world, being the daughter of two famous icons: Angélica María and Raúl Vale. As a child she wanted to appear in a kids comedy show called "Chiquilladas," but at the time, her mother was frozen from appearing in anything at Televisa.

Vale remembered the horrible experience recently on "De Primera Mano" saying: "I was six years old and I wanted to be on 'Chiquilladas' and all of a sudden I couldn't get in to Televisa. They escorted me out of Televisa with police because we were banned. It was like, 'you can't come in to Televisa Chapultepec,' it was like 800 centuries ago. It was horrible, I wanted to be in television and they didn't let me." In the end Vale is glad things worked down that way. "At that moment it did hurt me," she reflected. "Thank God it happened because I was able to start a career in theatre and gain the experience that television would have never given me."

Earlier this year, Angélica Vale starred in the Telemundo comedy called "La Fan". The story centered on Vale, a cheerful, humble and simple woman, and a fan of famous telenovela actor Lucas Duarte (Juan Pablo Espinosa). The lives of Vale and Lucas cross path one day; by what people could call a work of fate, luck, and magic. While she is hidden inside a giant pizza costume, handing out flyers to promote the business where she works, she believes she saves the life of her beloved actor, but everything is just part of a novela scene. That marks the first encounter between Lucas and Vale, but not the only one. Lucas’ manager, Gabriel (Gabriel Porras) comes up with the idea of making a contest for all fans. And with a little “help,” Vale wins the contest. Extremely fascinated, Vale has lunch with Lucas. And this time, she ends up saving his life for real. And so Vale becomes Lucas’ personal assistant, his shadow, and his guardian angel.

Vale begins to know who the real Lucas Duarte is. His habits, obsessions and flaws and despite of that, she loves him more every day. Lucas begins to really know his fan. Her strengths, light and radiance. And, reluctantly, he begins to fall in love with her.

But every story has a past; a past that could transform this love story into an impossible one because even though they both ignore it, Lucas is the father of Tomas (Emmanuel Pérez) the late Lucia’s son. Tomas is a young boy that Vale is raising as her own since her friend died. Lucas turns out to be the recipient of Vale’s hate, for having abandoned her friend. Vale finds herself at a crossroads, divided in two, having to choose whether to listen to the cries of resentment out of loyalty toward her late friend or the love of the fan that she still is.
