Biography

Anahí started her acting career at the age of two in the show Chiquilladas. Her career did not take of until she debuted as a telenovela actress in the melodrama Madres Egoístas. Anahí has had a very successful career winning several awards including Ariel, Palm d'Or, Bravo and many others.

In the early 90's Anahí wanted to charm people not only on screen but in the music industry. In 1996 Anahí recorded her first album, under Para Musica Recording Company. Her first CD was Hoy Es Mañana which contains the singles Descontrolándote, Corazón de Bombón, and Por Volverte A Ver. Her second CD Anclado en mi Corazón was released a year later and produced singles such as Anclado en mi Corazón, Salsa Reggae, and Brazos en Cruz.

After filming other Mexican soaps she got her first leading role as sweet and innocent Jovana Luna Guerra in the Mexican telenovela Primer amor... a Mil por Hora (2000).

Also in 2000, Anahí moved from Para Musica Recording Company to sign a contract with Fonovisa; under Fonovisa, Anahí released Baby Blue. Baby Blue has been Anahí's best-selling album and even got her nominations for the Latin Billboard Awards.

Soon after, Anahí managed to recover from anorexia, from which she had been suffering while filming Primer amor... a Mil por Hora. She proved to be perfectly well when she entered the Mexican hit series Clase 406 (2002), where she portrayed Jessica Riquelme. In 2004, she was invited to be the leading actress of the Mexican series Rebelde (2004), where she portrays Mía. In 2004, she signed a contract with EMI, intergrating herself to RBD, the musical spin-off of the telenovela Rebelde.

In 2004, after having joined RBD, Anahí's fame grew rapidly as she signed endorsement deals with Coca-Cola, Herbal Essences, and Kotex.

Selling more than 500,000 copies in just Mexico, RBD has become the nation's best-selling musical group of all time.

On June 28, 2005, Anahí clarified, as it had been rumored, that she suffered from anorexia; after having gone through that phase once in her life, she declared that the pressure "to be perfect" with her gained fame got to her.

Controversy

Being that Anahí is a role model to many young girls, and boys for that matter, many parents have found her public struggle with anorexia a negative influence. The first time that she publicly admitted her struggle with anorexia, she appeared in El Show de Cristina, trying to make young people see the negative consequences that anorexia brought about; and yet, after having surpassed anorexia and publicaly warnning people about the consequences in the year of 2001, she managed to fall under the influence of anorexia once again in the year of 2004. For this reason, many parents have tried to ban their children from seeing or buying anything having to do with her, stating that her negative influence and image will bring about many consequences in their children. Despite all of the polemic issues that have been linked to her, she has managed to have a successful career, both in acting and singing.
