It has been formally announced that Carla Abellana will play the lead role in the Filipino adaptation of Rosalinda, a Mexican television series. Rosalinda originally starred Thalia who also did the original Marimar.
Many thought that it would be Marian Rivera for Rosalinda since she was the one who starred in the Filipino adaptation of Marimar, but GMA has eyes fixed on the pretty Carla Abellana.
Carla is the daughter of the 80s heartthrob Rey 'PJ' Abellana. She has done various commercials in the past before auditioning for the role of Zorro's leading lady. She didn't get to be in Zorro, though, but she got Rosalinda instead.
GMA must have seen such great potentials in her to be entrusted with this big a project, not to mention the lead, for her very first acting job.
