Elizabeth Aguilar's journey began at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) where she studied drama and philosophy, concurrently acquiring knowledge in music theory and singing. She then honed her skills in jazz, tap, and classical dance movements at Emma Pulido's studio for a period of three years.
Aguilar's striking beauty led her to participate in the 1977 Miss Mexico pageant, where she secured second place and went on to represent Mexico in the Miss World contest that same year. Although she didn't win the title, she caught the attention of producers who offered her roles in their projects.
Following her stint in the pageants, Aguilar made her television debut in the program 'Variedades de media noche', a show that featured renowned figures such as Carmen Salinas, Lyn May, and Rosy Mendoza.
Two years later, she transitioned to the big screen, starring in the movie 'El vuelo de la Cigüeña'. This role led to other film projects, including 'Amor a la mexicana', 'No vale nada la vida', 'Bonampak', and 'Mariana, Mariana', which earned her a nomination for the Ariel award in 1988.
Aguilar's television credits include the melodramas 'Tania', 'Amor ajeno', and 'Entre el amor y el odio', as well as programs such as 'Sábado loco, loco', 'No empujen', and '¿Qué nos pasa?'.
In addition to her acting career, Aguilar released two albums as a singer, 'Elizabeth Aguilar' in 1989 and 'Ahhrebatadora' in 1991, showcasing her versatility as an artist.
Aguilar made headlines in 1984 when she became the first Mexican woman to pose for the Aztec edition of Playboy magazine, sparking controversy and fueling her status as a sex symbol of the decade.
