Jessica Muriel’s beginnings in the entertainment industry

The lack of details surrounding Muriel’s death has left fans and the general public uncertain.

They are hoping for additional news that may shed light on the exact circumstances of the beloved actress’s death.

Originally from Tijuana, Baja California, Jessica Muriel pursued her artistic career in what was then the Federal District, now Mexico City.

Upon arriving in the capital, she realized that LGBTQ people were treated with suspicion and prejudice, something that did not prevent her from succeeding.

She was Mexico’s first trans actress

Jessica Muriel, recognized as the first transgender actress in Mexico, left an indelible mark on the world of theater and cinema.

Her brave choice to undergo various gender reassignment surgeries made her an icon for the LGBTQ+ community.

Some of her followers on social media took the opportunity to express their grief and send their condolences on Facebook.

«Many years in Tijuana with her in the revue theater in Mexico City.» «Rest in peace and a very sad loss for the great artist,» were some comments.

Her unforgettable legacy

Initially landing roles in Mexico City, she quickly stood out, even earning the nickname La Maravilla del Siglo in the press.

This nickname was bestowed upon her due to her bravery in making the transgender community visible and paving the way in a historically conservative environment.

Admired for her artistic talent, she sang and danced in addition to acting, according to infobae.
