Norma Ruiz is an actress born in Madrid 41 years ago. She has been a regular figure on the small screen for two decades, especially since her role as Beatriz Ortiz, the posh secretary in the phenomenon Yo soy Bea (Telecinco).
Although Norma Ruiz became known for her appearance in Yo soy Bea, a work that earned her a nomination for Best New Actress at the 2007 Unión de Actores Awards, the truth is that her beginnings were as a dancer.

After graduating from the Royal Professional Conservatory of Dance in Madrid, he took part in some shows by Antonio Canales, José Racero and Luisillo, as well as musicals such as Sonrisas y Lágrimas or Al compás son seis. However, an injury led him to change course, opting for acting.
One of her first jobs as an actress was in La fiesta (2003), considered at that time the cheapest film in Spanish cinema, barely 6,000 euros in budget. Since then, she has been alternating theatrical and audiovisual projects.

And in theater, his appearances stand out in works such as A death farewell; Tr3s; Time and the Conways; Tonight we have to kill Franco; By the hair or The power of blood, among others.
But, without a doubt, it is television where Norma Ruiz has found success. In addition to her role in Yo soy Bea, the Madrid native has appeared in episodes of Cuéntame como paso, El authentic Rodrigo Leal, Gavilanes, Frágiles, Ciega a quotes, La que se cerca or El Pueblo. Her most recent work is in the series Lord, Give Me Patience, the adaptation of the film with the same name. In total, she has appeared in over 500 episodes.
Her performance as Rocío Dúrcal in the telefilm Rocío Dúrcal deserves special mention. See you again, as well as in Tita Cervera. The Baroness, where she takes on the role of Blanca Cuesta.
