Little information is available in the media about Galilea’s early life, however, her career and subsequent personal life has been put on pedestal. Her career began in 1993 when she won the “La Chica TV” competition, and since then her presence in the media has only grown more and more, until she became one of the most recognized TV hosts and actresses.
The same year she won the TV competition, Galilea then starred in the film “La Muerte de un Cardenal” (1993). Two years later she portrayed Lily in the TV series “El Premio Mayor”, while in 1996 she made a few brief appearances in several TV series, before in 1999 Galiela featured as Maricruz Ruiz in the TV series “Tres Mujeres”.
She started the new millennium quite successfully, with the role of Valeria Rios in another telenovela “El Precio de tu Amor” (2000). Four years later she got the part of Aline Mena Mora in “Hospital el Paisa”, while also featuring in “My Love, My Sin” as Lucia, increasing further her net worth.
Two years later she had a double role in the TV series “La Verdad Oculta”, appearing in 20 episodes of the show as Gabriela Guillén and Martha Guzmán Zaldívar. Furthermore, from 2007 until 2008 she played Selena in the highly-praised TV series “Ugly Betty”, which won two Golden Globe awards, among many other awards and nominations, and which is an English version of the Columbian telenovela “Yo Soy Betty, la Fea” (1999-2001). In recent years, Galilea appeared in the film “Perras” (2011), and in TV series “Cásate Conmigo, Mi Amor” (2013).
