The Golden Globe and Critics\u2019 Choice Awards nominee is adding a new nomination to her collection \u2014 an Oscar for Best Actress. Karla Sofia Gascon<\/strong>\u2018s\u00a0nomination is a historical one, being that she is the first openly trans actress to be nominated. Find out more about the star below!<\/p>\n Although Emilia Perez<\/em> is the star\u2019s breakout film, she has been acting for a while. Since starting in 1995, she has acted in a plethora of TV series and telenovelas such as, Harina<\/em>, 40 y 20<\/em>, Until the End of Time<\/em>, and Como dice el dicho<\/em>. She has also participated in the movies We Are the Nobles<\/em> and GEIST<\/em>, per her IMDB profile. In 2009, the actress who was born in Spain, moved to Mexico in pursuit of an acting career.<\/p>\n Karla was hesitant about the movie, due to it being a musical. In November 2024, she candidly shared with Vogue<\/em><\/a>: \u201cI thought, \u2018Well, this can\u2019t be possible.\u2019 I thought it\u2019d be one of those things that they call me for, just to be weird and will never go ahead. And I hated musicals. They\u2019re what I least wanted to work on.\u201d<\/p>\n Karla expressed her desire behind wanting to play both roles. She shared with Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/a>: \u201cI did insist on doing both roles because I know my capabilities and I knew I was ready to\u00a0para muestra un bot\u00f3n basta<\/em> (show by way of example), as they say in Spain, that I had the ability to play the character. When you know what you want to do and that you can do it, fight for it. That\u2019s one piece of advice I can give to everyone: to go for what they believe in, for their dreams, and for what they believe they can do well.\u201d<\/p>\n Karla is married to her wife Marisa Gutierrez<\/strong>, whom she met as a teen in a Spanish nightclub, and they got married in their mid-20s, according to Us Weekly<\/em><\/a>.
