Biography edit

She made her television debut at the age of 15 as host of the program El club Megatrix, broadcast on Antena 3.[2] She became known as an actress thanks to the successful series Arrayán on Canal Sur, where she played Paula between 2006 and 2008.[3]

Once settled in Madrid, she trained in different dance and acting schools, such as Juan Codina and Carmen Roche. Later, at La Casa de la Portera, she premiered the play Iván-Off by José Martret, an adaptation of Chekhov's Ivanov, in which Cristina played Sara Leyva. The play brought her excellent reviews and opened the doors to the national audiovisual industry.[4]

Her first starring role was in the Telecinco fiction series B&b, de boca en boca, where she played Clara Bornay, the head stylist of a fictitious magazine in whose editorial office the plots are centered.[5] Alarcón was part of the starring cast during the two seasons that the series was on the air.[6] In 2015 she made her film debut with the movie El país del miedo by director Francisco Espada, which was screened at the Málaga Film Festival.[7]

In 2018, she had chapter appearances in the series La verdad, of Telecinco, and Arde Madrid, of Movistar+.[8] That same year she joined the cast of the second season of the series Vergüenza, also on Movistar+.[9] In February 2019 she premiered the comedy Bajo el mismo techo, directed by Juana Macías and starring Silvia Abril and Jordi Sánchez.[10]
