Which actress plays Tata Escobar in Narcos?

Which actress plays Tata Escobar in Narcos? Paulina Gaitán plays Tata Escobar.

Tata is the series’ fictionalized name for María Henao, Pablo Escobar’s wife and the mother of his two children. Gaitán appears as Tata across the first two seasons, portraying her as a protective spouse who tries to preserve family life while Escobar’s cartel expands and his violence becomes increasingly dangerous.

Paulina Gaitán is a Mexican actress who began acting as a child. Before Narcos, she was known internationally for films such as Sin Nombre, in which she played Sayra, a Honduran teenager traveling toward the United States. Narcos helped introduce her to a much wider television audience.

A common mix-up comes from the show’s large ensemble. Stephanie Sigman plays Valeria Vélez, Escobar’s journalist mistress, while Cristina Umaña plays Judy Moncada. Ana de la Reguera appears as Elisa Álvarez, connected to the M-19 guerrilla movement—not Tata.
