María Belén Franco, a Guayaquil actress, has experienced a revival in her career following bariatric surgery she underwent at the end of 2022. As 2026 begins, she is set to kick off the year with a busy agenda reflecting her growing presence in the Ecuadorian entertainment industry. One of her immediate projects is a stand-up comedy show titled "Mujeres de bien," which aims to humorously explore contemporary womanhood in Guayaquil. This show, which she co-stars in with content creator Bethania la del Vino, was specifically designed for Women's Month and is observed to foster a supportive working relationship between the two artists.
