In memory of Mónica Spear [1984-2014]: remembering her life and career
9:54 AMUnknown
Mónica Spear’s murder was one of the
most discussed topics of this past week, and the internet is full to the
smallest details with countless reports about the devastating news, what
happened and where. We are all angry, sad, outraged and in total shock because
of her unjust and cruel murder, that took away her life at such a young age, when
she was doing so well professionally and growing so much as an actress, and raising
her little Maya, who was the apple of her eye.
Therefore, we decided to make a different
report to remember this wonderful actress that impressed us all last year with
her brilliant interpretation of Bianca Santillana in ‘Pasión Prohibida’. But most
importantly, she always shined on everybody around her as an amazing and brave human
being that loved life and lived life to the fullest.
In this page, we’ll remember some of the
important moments of her life and career.
Spear was born in October 1, 1984 to
Rafael Spear Tudares and Ingeborg Mootz Gotera. She had four siblings: Rafael
Eduardo, Carolina, Javier José and Ricardo. The family moved to Orlando,
Florida in 2000.
After completing a bachelor's degree in
theater from the University of Central Florida, Mónica came back to Venezuela
and won the title of Miss Venezuela 2004. She also participated in the Miss
Universe 2005 beauty contest in Thailand, which she finished as the fourth
runner-up.
Although she liked modeling, she had it
very clear that her real passion was becoming an actress. She matured as an
actress with each new role, and always chose challenging and complicated roles,
impressing the viewers with her talent. She started her professional career
with ‘El Desprecio’ in 2006. Her first leading role was in ‘Mi Prima Ciela’, in
which she played a high-school student battling leukemia. In 2009 she was the
protagonist of RCTV’s ‘Calle luna, Calle sol’.
She also starred the 2010 Venevisión
telenovela ‘La Mujer Perfecta’, where she played Micaela, who has a form of
autism called Asperger syndrome. This character also inspired her to join the
NGO ASODECO, a Venezuelan organization that works to help improve the life quality
of people with incapacities. She soon became their ambassador, and not only
volunteered there, but became a real friend of the members of the organization
and spent her free time there every time she could, in addition to promoting ASODECO
and posting photos on her social network accounts.

In 2010 she became the leading actress of
Telemundo’s ‘Flor Salvaje’, where she played a brave woman who becomes
prostitute to help her sisters. Her last novela was 2013’s ‘Pasión Prohibida’,
where she interpreted Bianca, a woman whose love for the nephew of her rich and
older husband leads her to insanity.
After completing the novela, she soon
travelled back to her beloved Venezuela, where she spent the last months of her
life, together with her little daughter Maya, who was born in 2008. During this
time she centered all her attention on her little daughter, and posted photos
of her spending time with Maya.
Her last trip was to the west of Venezuela,
together with her daughter and ex-husband Thomas Henry Berry. It was reported
that they were possibly attempting to reconcile at that time. During her trip,
she shared many images with her followers and fans from places like the Delta
del Orinoco and Laguna de Mucubají.

The last day of her life was January 6,
2014. That day she left this world to become an angel in the next. We will
forever remember her.
