María Pedraza (born 26 January 1996)[1] is a Spanish actress and ballerina who gained worldwide recognition for her roles in the Netflix series Money Heist[2] and Elite.[3]

Career[]

Pedraza was discovered through her Instagram account by film director Esteban Crespo who invited her to attend an audition for the lead role of his debut film Amar [4] where she obtained the role of Laura, joining a cast also made up of Pol Monen, Natalia Tena, Gustavo Salmerón and Nacho Fresneda.[5][6]

Her second project as an actress was playing Alison Parker, daughter of the British ambassador to Spain, in the popular Atresmedia series Money Heist. The subsequent purchase of it by Netflix earned the actress both national and international recognition.[7] At the beginning of 2018, Pedraza's participation in the second Netflix original Spanish series entitled Élite was announced, with fellow Money Heist cast members Miguel Herrán and Jaime Lorente.[8]

Since her quick rise to fame, she has appeared in a growing number of television and film roles along with focusing on her ballet.
