Cuban actress Yare Santana plays the role of Jenny Infante, granddaughter of the famous Mexican cinema golden age actor Pedro Infante, in the new Netflix film, "Como caído del cielo", which premiered on December 24th.

Santana, born in the province of Matanzas on May 11, 1993, graduated from Cuba's National School of Art (ENA) specializing in Theater in 2012.

Subsequently she was a professor at ENA and worked in several theatrical productions, among which stand out: "La moza del cántaro", "El rey Lear", "Las cuñadas" and "La Gaviota". However, during this time, Yare also ventured into television. In 2011 she was part of the telenovela "Santa María del Porvenir", where she played the character of Maripepa and three years later participated in the drama "Cuando el amor no alcanza".

Yare decides to emigrate to Mexico in 2015 and begins studies at Televisa's Center for Artistic Education (CEA) and since then her career has not stopped rising. In 2017 she was included in the cast of the TV series "El Vuelo de Victoria". Two years later she would be part of the programs "El Dragón: El regreso de un guerrero" and "Se rentan cuartos".

Now, in "Como caído del cielo", the Cuban shares scenes with popular Mexican actors Omar Chaparro and Ana Claudia Talancón. The fiction film, directed by Pepe Bojórquez, brings Infante back to life in the body of an impersonator, so that he can redeem himself from his infidelities and manage to enter paradise after a limbo of more than 60 years.
