Elizabeth Islas Brasdefer (born on July 17, 1946 in Pachuca de Soto, Hidalgo, Mexico) is a Mexican telenovela actress[4] who is better known as Claudia Islas (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈklauðja ˈizlas]).[5][6] She is very famous for her beauty and was called "Mexican Brigitte Bardot" in the past.[7] She also accused Juan Gabriel for alleged theft, and because of this his musical aspirations were postponed and he spent some time in jail writing songs in his cell before finally launching his career as a renowned international singer, eventually acquiring more success than her.
