Yareli is best known for her role as Rosaura, the "mean" sister in 'Like Water for Chocolate' and Lila, "the missing link" in A Day Without a Mexican which she co-wrote and produced. Multi-faceted, this actress is hard to pin down - and that's a good thing. Her character range is vast! Yareli was born in Mexico City. A proud "Amexican" as she terms herself, Yareli studied high school in Kansas and went on to receive her BA in Political Science and her MFA in Theatre from the University of California, San Diego. Yareli is married to film director/Rocker/Artist Sergio Arau - who she met on the set of "Like Water For Chocolate"
