Lea Vélez is a Spanish author, screenwriter and playwright. Her latest novel, 'La hija de Gardel', is set in the Argentine dictatorship.

She says the dolls Nancy, Core and Lesly turned her into a writer. The best review she has received was from her father, who told her: “Yes, that's good good me that was me that I wrote’. The last play she saw was The Motive and the Cue, with Johnny Flynn playing Richard Burton.
