Doris Wells, whose birth name is Doris Buonafina, was born in Caripito,
a little oil town of Monagas State, Venezuela on October 28th, 1941,
being the youngest of six children. At 15 years old, and coinciding
with the migration of her family to Caracas, Doris became a student of
the Juana Sujo's School of Theater, created by this famous Venezuelan
(born Argentinean) actress. Doris became one of her best pupils not
only for her beauty but also her unquestionable talent. Doris would
graduate in 1960 with many other actors that would be big stars in the
Venezuelan TV in 60's and 70's, like José Bardina, José Luis Silva and
Ivonne Attas (later Mrs. Attas made a successful career as politician).
As an anecdotal note, this was the last class that Juana Sujo was the
teacher because she died of cancer in 1961. The debut of Doris Wells in
television was in the polemic Venezuelan TV series "Se necesita una
amiga" released in 1961 (where the plots were based in true stories),
but her first great role was the merciless and vile Reina Montero in
the successful Telenovela (soap opera) "Historia de tres hermanas"
(1964) where she messed to her sisters (Eva Blanco and Eva Moreno) for
blame of one of the gallants of the story (Raúl Amundaray). This soap
opera, by the way, was the first in these country whose episodes were
60 minutes in duration, and not 30 minutes as were they made until this
time. Doris always played the role of the villain, not only as the evil
of the story, but also the feared and respected woman until 1972, when
she starred in the soap opera Sacrificio de mujer (with Edmundo Arias)
in the role of the patient Regina Carbonell. Another soap opera that
would confirm this new role of heroine was Raquel (1973-74) with Raúl
Amundaray, which was one of the first Venezuelan soap operas known
outside of its frontiers. Soon after, Doris announced that she wouldn't
film soap operas again (due, among other things, to the fact that she
didn't like the weak plots and characters of these productions) to be
devoted to historical series and theaters. However, this retirement
would not last long, because the polemic and successful Venezuelan
playwright José Ignacio Cabrujas (who was a close friend of Doris
Wells) wrote for her the main character of La señora de Cárdenas
(1977). This soap opera (starring also with Miguelángel Landa) tells
the story about a married woman of middle class with a daughter that
discovers that her husband deceives her and at last she decides to
divorce him. La señora de Cárdenas was a big hit because, for the first
time in a Venezuelan soap opera, the plot is not the typical romantic
soap operas (a young couple, singles, from different social classes and
always with a happy end) and it inaugurated in Venezuela a new
well-known style of dramatic production with the name of "Telenovela
cultural" (cultural soap opera) that would be in vogue at the end of
70's and it was supported by other writers like Fausto Verdial and
Julio César Mármol, among many other people. This new phase of the
career of Doris Wells had her definitive consecration in the soap opera
La fiera (released in 1978), which was a free adaptation of
Dostoyevsky's "The Brothers Karamazow", in which Doris played the role
of Isabel Blanco a.k.a. "la catirrusia" (the ruddy) who becomes the
apple of the discord among the main characters (José Bardina and Carlos
Márquez who is, by the way, Juana Sujo's widower) and it obtained an
immense success. As a curious note, this soap opera was rerun in
Venezuela in 1987 and it obtained much more rating respect than its
debut (and in fact, the Isabel Blanco's character was considered the
best role of Doris Wells' career). After La fiera, Doris Wells
announced her definitive retirement from soap operas and she debuted as
writer and producer with the TV movie Porcelana (1981),in which she
played a successful and single manager that has to confront the "Crisis
of the 40's" and Derrota final (1982) where she was a guerilla fighter.
It is also in this time that Doris starred in the Venezuelan movies
Ana, pasión de dos mundos (1982), La casa de agua (1983), and Oriana
(1985), which would consecrate it worldwide. She also had to face in
the real life a situation worthy of some of her soap operas: her only
husband's sudden death (at the time that they had filed for divorce),
the wealthy Venezuelan lawyer William Risquez Iribarren, with whom she
had three children (Marielba, Xavier and Verónica), after which Doris
would return (shortly) to television in 1986 as a TV Host of one
Contest Show. Soon after, Doris Wells began to suffer a strange illness
called Foil's Syndrome (a strange illness that attacks to the liver and
the lungs by a virus, whose origin is unknown and before her ten cases
were known in the world) and finally, Mrs. Wells died at September
20th, 1988 almost one month before she turned 47 years old. So,
Venezuela lost one of its most gracious, talented, beautiful and
admired actresses who always knew to live a quite exemplary life,
without scandals or gossip. Without a doubt, she should be seen as a
good example of professionalism for the new generations of actors, not
only Venezuelans but of any other country.- Carlos Olivier was born on 26 January 1952 in Caracas, Venezuela. He was an actor, known for Hay amores que matan (2000), Me llamo Julián, te quiero (1972) and Amor de papel (1993). He died on 22 January 2007 in Caracas, Venezuela.
