Our friend Patricia Rae received plenty of attention for her role as the severe Colombian mama in The Big Wedding, holding her own with a host of Oscar-level actors like Diane Keaton and Robert DeNiro. But there was a second, equally talented Latina in the cast: Ana Ayora. This isn’t her first seat at the party: Ana appeared in Marly & Me with Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston and Meddling Mom with Sonia Braga. And now…The Big Wedding, with an impossibly stellar cast, where she plays Nuria, the groom’s sister, in the U.S. for the first time to attend her brother’s wedding.
Ana herself, however, is a Miami native with strong Colombian roots who called her time with the cast of The Big Wedding “amazing.” “I am so humbled, I’m so grateful to be a part of this project and to be working with people of this caliber,” she said in a recent interview with voxxi. “I grew up watching these people. As artists, they are so passionate and so dedicated and that was an incredible experience to be a part of.”
