About me

Born in Santiago de Chile, but raised in Madrid, Paulina Gálvez began her artistic career as a flamenco dancer in various companies. She debuted in films shortly afterwards and her passion for performing led her to work with the famous Catalan experimental group Els Joglars, from Barcelona. Since then, she has played more than 90 different characters from comedy to drama in theater, film and television, sharing the screen with renowned actors such as Javier Bardem, Federico Luppi, James Spader, Mel Gibson or Luke Kirby, among many others.
In cinema he has worked under directors as Carlos Saura, Gonzalo Suárez or Cédric Klapisch or Manane Rodríguez, for whose character in Portrait of a Woman with a Man in the Background she was Nominated for the Goya as New Actress.
Her work in the Chilean blockbuster Subterra, by Marcelo Ferrari, brought her numerous recognitions, including the Best Actress Award at the Biarritz and Lleida Latin American film festivals, as well as the APES nomination. 
During her stay in Miami, Paulina has starred in, produced and directed theater, winning as an actress the Miami Life Award for best monologue for her production Taitantos.
On television, we have recently seen her in numerous series from the Spanish production  Embajada (2016) 
and in many other international series such as the American production Queen of Swords for Paramount TV (2000), the american/ Chilean Dueños del Paraíso for Telemundo NBC (2015), starring Kate del Castillo; in the Blumhouse series for USA TV The Purge (2018), where she was chosen to play Catalina; or in the American production Panhandle on Sony TV (2022) where she plays Alicia Perez.
Last summer we discovered her in the final chapter of the cult series The Blacklist, where she shares scenes with James Spader.
She has already finished filming STAGS, the new production from the creators of Sex Education for Paramount + that will hit the screens next season.
