Netflix has provided a first look at its new mini-series, "Grizelda," in which Sofia Vergara ("Modern Family") plays the drug baron Grizelda Blanco.
In the released photo, it is difficult to identify 49-year-old Vergara, who underwent a significant external change for the role.
Grizelda Blanco has earned the nicknames "The Black Widow" and "The Cocaine Queen of Miami."
She dominated drug smuggling into the United States and terrorized many from the 1980s to the early 2000s. "Deadly charm and cruelty helped her maneuver professionally between family and business, which earned her the nickname 'The Godmother'."

The first announcement about the mini-series came out last November, where it was stated that Vergara also serves as the main producer.
It turns out that the Colombian actress has been working on the development of the series for eight years.
Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones played the character of Grizelda in a 2018 TV movie called "The Cocaine Godmother," but was criticized for failing to disguise her Welsh accent.
In the case of Colombian Vergara, there will be no such problem.
At the same time, Jennifer Lopez is also working on a feature film that will deal with Blanco's life and will be called "The Godmother".
