Quinceañera is the 1987 Mexican telenovela starring Adela Noriega.
The Televisa series centers on young women and the social pressures surrounding adolescence, romance, family, and class. Adela Noriega starred alongside Thalía, who played one of the principal characters. The program became an influential example of the Mexican teen telenovela.
Its title invokes the fifteenth-birthday tradition, but the series is not a factual guide to how every quinceañera is celebrated. Television drama uses the event as a narrative setting, and details of customs can be stylized for the story.
The show is sometimes confused with the 2006 independent film of the same title. The two works are separate: the television series was a Mexican telenovela from 1987, while the film was an English-language American drama released nearly two decades later.
