UPDATE: Watch Itatí Cantoral As Soraya Montenegro On 'Orange Is The New Black'

The news that surfaced suggested that Cantoral will reprise her role as Soraya Montenegro in a series of commercials to promote Season 4 of "Orange Is The New Black." “It’s incredible! Because they are going to put the most important Mexican villain, Soraya, in jail,” Cantoral told Excelsior. “They are going to adapt the role to the series tone and will make her a murderer.” The charcter has been able to withstand time thanks to social media and memes that have been created. “I am very excited,” she said. “Because this character, that everyone is calling an icon, has become a social media phenomenon thanks to 15 and 16-year-old kids that didn’t even watch the telenovela but know who she is because of the memes.”

Cantoral's last foray in telenovelas was in the "Amores Con Trampa" production. In this comedy she played Raquel, Santiago’s wife and Alejandra’s mother. She is a pretty woman with fine features. She belongs to the country’s highest society, so she is always dressed in fashionable and elegant clothes. We could say she is a little shallow as she gives priority to money issues and the correct ways to hang out with the richest people.
