Daughter of Mexican actress Susana Dosamantes (born Susana Rue
Riestra), Latin pop sensation Paulina Rubio debuted in 1982 while
singing and dancing for a very young audience as member of a popular
children's outfit called Timbiriche. Her acting career began in 1988
with Pasi?n y Poder ("Passion and Power"); followed by Vaselina, the
Spanish-language version of the musical Grease; and the TV series
Baila Conmigo ("Dance With Me").
In 1992, Paulina Rubio decided to go on her own. La Chica Dorada ("The
Golden Girl") became her solo debut album. On the other side, the
movie B?same en la Boca and the soap opera Pobre Nina Rica established
her as one of the most popular artists in her native country.
After releasing the top-selling Paulina, a single called "Sexual
Lover" anticipated her first English-language record, titled Border
Girl. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
