Unlike the previous review states, Catalina Creel is not a "one-eyed" villain, and therein lies the tale. This is the classic Mexican telenovela with the classic arch-villainess and unwitting victims. Unlike most other telenovela productions, Cuna de lobos starts in the style of classic drama, truly in medias res, with its basic complications revealed in the first episode, and it only gets better from there. What nuances Cuna de lobos in particular (besides its high fashion costuming of the period) is that the evil rubs off, suggesting an sequel—that has never been made. Backstory: Alejandro Camacho (Alejandro, Alex) and Rebecca Jones (Vilma) continued their television romance and had a child together. Camacho has recently appeared as another (older) telenovela villain in "Abismo de pasión," and Jones has had several recent telenovela roles (2011–2013). María Rubio (Catalina) still works the villain angle in the US broadcast of "Una familia con suerte" (2013). Diana Bracho (Leonora Navarro), along with her family, deserves a closer look from anyone interested in Mexican cinema or television; her father was Julio Bracho and her aunt, the luminous Andrea Palma. Diana Bracho is an award winning actress who has been president of the Mexican Academy.
