The cast of Griselda<\/a>, a new drama inspired by the life of \u201cCocaine Godmother\u201d Griselda Blanco, who created one of the most powerful cartels in history, is headed up by Sof\u00eda Vergara, best known for her comedy work on Modern Family.<\/span><\/p>\n

She stars alongside a wealth of talent, some of whom you\u2019ll recognise, others who are relative newcomers, who play various real-life figures from Blanco\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Netflix notes<\/a> that Griselda is a \u201cfictionalised\u201d version of events, imagining how the so-called Godmother held a tight grip on her illegal trade through a \u201clethal blend of unsuspected savagery and charm\u201d.<\/p>\n

Vergara has touched upon her transformation into Blanco in a recent press conference, revealing<\/a>: \u201cI was nervous about it because I sometimes watch movies and it distracts me a lot to see [prosthetics], so I wanted her to look human and I wanted to be able to act with all those things that I had on.\u201d<\/p>\n
