Lorena Herrera met producer
Emilio Larrosa, who had
Televisa connections, who gave her a chance to star in his 1991
telenovela production
Muchachitas ("Young Girls"), which was a huge hit across Latin America. She was then hired to participate in the mega-hit telenovela
Dos Mujeres, un Camino, where she played the mistress of a villain. Herrera has since acted in many other telenovelas, including
El Premio Mayor. She is also a singer, having released various Mexican music CDs and toured Mexico and the United States. She has been approached by
Playboy Mexico to pose nude for that magazine (she appeared in the Mexican
Playboy in the December 1987 issue, under the name "Bárbara Ferrat"). She has also released various calendars in which she assumed sensual poses, and she posed naked for
Playboy again in March 2011 at 44 years of age. On the
Univision show
El Gordo y la Flaca, Lorena shared a bathtub with "El Gordo",
Raul De Molina. She worked as the evil stepmother of Lola (Monserrat) in
Lola...Erase Una Vez. She is the mother of
Grettell Valdez which interprets Carlota in Lola and she is also the mother of
Zoraida Gomez in the soap opera
Lola. She has said that she likes singing, but acting is her favorite activity. She has worked with
Carla Estrada,
Emilio Larosa,
Pedro Damian and other producers. She said recently on the
Mentiras y Verdades show that she did not like to make novelas with Emilio Larrosa after
El Premio Mayor told her that her part was going to be the antagonist.
