Early life

Leticia Dolera was born in Barcelona on 23 October 1981 to a single mother.

Career

Her career began with the series Al salir de clase (When Class Is Over), in which she played the role of Angela between 2000 and 2002. Likewise, she made her feature film debut as an actress in Bellas durmientes (2001).

From there, she began a film career with titles such as The Other Side of the Bed, Imagining Argentina, Semen, A Love Story and Man Push Cart, a film which received three nominations at the Independent Spirit Awards.

In 2012, she starred in the third instalment of the REC series, receiving critical praise for her performance.

In the UK, she is best known for playing the character of Carmen in the Sky TV series, Mad Dogs (2012 to 2014).

In 2015 she wrote and directed the film Requirements To Be A Normal Person.

In February 2018 she published the book about feminism Morder la manzana. La revolución será feminista o no será. She was asked to open the La Mercè festival in Barcelona in 2018. She shared her time with Carmen Juares, a migrant fron Honduras, who had spent six years in Spain as a caregiver. Juares was caring for a woman with dementia in conditions that she regarded as slavery.

In October 2019 premiered in Movistar+ the television series Vida perfecta, directed by and starring her, with good acceptance by critics. Public scrutiny and controversy around the production of the series (then tentatively titled Déjate llevar) began in 2018, when actress Aina Clotet denounced on Twitter that Dolera had decided not to hire her for the series because Clotet was pregnant.

Personal life

In 2008, Dolera married director Paco Plaza, from whom she is separated.
