Veronica Falcon Queen Of The South
In the series, Falcon plays the role of Camila.
Backstory
She and her husband Epifaño were married for 25 years and they had a daughter named Isabela. She studied to be a dancer when she was Isabela’s age(DAUGHTER). She was the leader of the Vargas Cartel in Dallas. The Vargas Cartel engaged in sex trafficking and prostituting women as well as cocaine trafficking. After her husband’s death, Camila became the Governor of Sinaloa. She is currently using her resources to hunt down and kill Teresa for what she did to Epifaño.
Personality
Camila’s(Veronica Falcon) downfall is that she is full of pride. She doesn’t like that other people see her as weak and she can barely tolerate sexist comments. She’s vengeful and intense, and she trusts in her instincts, which she says are seldom wrong.
Skills
Camila (Veronica Falcon) is always playing mind games and she is very good at picking out her enemies’ weaknesses. She is skilled in the art of manipulation. The only person who nearly always sees through this is her husband, who knows her very well due to their long marriage.
Camila Vargas firmly believes that she built the Vargas cartel and that it would be nothing without her. She was very upset with her husband for trying to reduce her role in the cartel when it would never have gotten where it was without her. That being said, Camila is still a mother, and she would do anything for her daughter. She told Isabela that she went to Dallas to show her that women could be strong and build something of their own. She wants to be a good example to her daughter, but her daughter doesn’t see it that way.
RELATIONSHIPS
James Valdez(Peter Gadiot ): Her second-in-command. James is very loyal to Camila and she knows that she can trust him. He wordlessly saved her life when there was a hit out on her and she has trusted him ever since. After James rescues Isabela from her kidnappers, they part ways, with James taking several million dollars from Camila as payment.
Teresa Mendoza(Alice Braga): Teresa works for Camila and though she is hesitant to trust Teresa, she respects her, though she does say that she only considers Teresa to be leverage in Billete de Magia. She is grooming Teresa so that she can reach her full potential. Camila makes sure to tell Teresa that she did well after every job. After becoming upset with James for defying her, Camila has Teresa help her set up the distribution for the El Santo product2x07.
Isabella Vargas(Idalia Valles): Camila’s daughter. Their relationship is rocky given that Isabella thinks that Camila chose the cartel over her and that her father is getting out of the cartel after becoming governor. Isabella hates that her mother left her for a year and has become a daddy’s girl during that time. Isabela and Camila seem to be on a truce of sorts after the death of Epifanio, which ends when Cortez convinces Isabela that Camila had Kique killed. In return, Isabela reveals publically that her mother is a cartel leader, forcing Camila to flee Mexico and go into hiding.
Veronica Falcon Leaving Queen Of The South
It’s unclear whether Veronica chose to leave the series on her own or if the writers decided to keep her out of Season 4, but either way, Camila’s exile would allow the 53-year-old to return to the show.
Based on a recent Instagram post, it sounds like Veronica was ready to move on. “Becoming different characters is one of my favorite things about being an actor,” she wrote on August 14. “[Sometimes] I start inside out, others outside in. It depends… (the important thing is that you guys believe and enjoy the show).” She then added, “New [hair] color for my new gig.”
Though she may have said goodbye to Camila, Veronica is forever grateful for the opportunity to have starred on a U.S. series. “I always wanted to try this market and to work with some of the actors that work here [in America],” she previously shared. “You do great television. You have great movies.”

Veronica Falcon Interview
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER, TELEVISION
INTERVIEW: VERONICA FALCON THE QUEEN HERSELF SPEAKS WITH EM
Earlier this week I had a chance to participate in an intimate conference call (only 4 others) with Veronica Falcon of USA Network’s latest series Queen of the South. In the series, Veronica plays Camila Vargas, a ruthless Mexican cartel lord. Veronica is a well known Mexican actress, but this is her first big American role. QOS debuted on USA Network last week and airs Thursday nights. Check your local time.
How did you go about constructing this character and what was the hardest thing about playing this role?
The process of construction of every character is absolutely different, at least for me, depending on the role and the medium I’m working with. It’s very different in theater, the process you have on stage than the one you have on film and on television.
In the particular case of Camila, the process for me started in the audition process because it was a very exhausting audition process. It was very precise. So I had to do around ten auditions and do many, many scenes. So I started understanding the character even then, even though I didn’t have the directors or the full script. I start to fall in love with the character, and to understand it, and to construct something because I had to, you know. I had to construct in order to audition.
So one of the first things, I don’t do it the same way all the time. I had one advantage of Camila. I’ve played different roles that had to do with these narco stories in the past. So a lot of the research about the world that the characters live in, I have done before. I’ve read the novel twice and aside from that, in the study you do for different characters, I studied already a lot of the world. And I lived in Mexico for many years, so, unfortunately, it was very first hand whatever happens with the drug situation in our countries.
That part of the research or the history of the reality of the show, of the character, I already had. Then the second part of the character had to do with, you know, with the language. It was not only the speaking English but of the containment of the character. Because I right away understood — one of the things I never do or at least I try not to do is to judge a character. That’s not my job. My job, I believe, is to try to understand a character, try to understand where it comes from, what does the character need to do in order for me to tell a story as the character. So in order for me to do that, I have to be very objective about the character.
I usually do a list of objectives that are positive or negative towards the character. And then I try to balance it, you know, because as I said, everybody has light and darkness, especially in the cases of the villains, it’s important to do that. So I got inspired by many, many actors. You know, every actor I believe we get inspired by other actors before us that have done better work or amazing work, and they set a very high standard.
I don’t believe in copying anyone, but I believe in getting inspired. And of course, I got inspired from the most amazing actors like Brando and, you know, all the classic mob stories and the classic gangsters. Because at the end of the day, what I always say is that these narco stories are very similar to the Mexicans and the Colombians to what the mob stories were to the Sicilians, to the Italians. You know, it’s the same kind of, well, these crime families, they have a certain honor code within them. They have certain loyalties. They can be ruthless and at the same time, they have this kind of family honor code that is quite interesting and they operate like that. So of course, I was inspired by all that.
Then the script, I always went back — the thing with Camila is that in the original novel and in the Mexican version, Camila is a character that is mentioned that appears but is really not a very important character in the story. With the creators of Queen of the South, Camila is a character that became a different character from the original one. So we have to construct it from that, you know. So I had to go back always to what the writers would tell me, to what the script was calling for, and then from there just try to make it my own. And I used, of course, the advantage of being Mexican, and knowing my country, and knowing my language and my traditions, and the authenticity of it all.
Do you have any concerns that this may glorify violence, the drug trade, or that your character may become a hero?
Well, I hope she doesn’t become a hero because I don’t believe we glorify violence or the drug trade. I mean we show every part of it. We show, of course, the luxury and the power, and all this part of things. But at the same time, we will show and we are always showing the consequence. And of everything these characters do. You know, you cannot — at least me, I think the audience is smart enough to understand that even though the character may have some traits that are interesting or that are valuable, like being powerful and independent, and hardworking, and all these things, she’s also made a lot of choices that are destroying life, starting with her own. You know, and they will see that.
I think the show is pretty clear on that. I mean if you see the opening scene, it starts by a consequence. So I hope the audience is smart enough to understand that and I think they are. And unfortunately, we do live in a violent world. We do live in a world where drugs are destroying a lot of families, and I think we show that. So I hope we’re not — I believe we’re not glorifying the drug trade at all. I hope it doesn’t seem glamorous because the prices are really high.
