It is her timeless figure that has made her the spokesperson for beauty products and a an idol for many women here. She has been the love interest of many famous Romeos, including Julio Iglesias at one time.
Amparo throughout her life continued to star in soaps and movies, modelled, and is a talent “judge” on reality shows. She’s also wrote books, but it’s in those beauty commercials and in magazines like Alo where you’re most likely encounter her likeness!
