Verónica Falcón (born August 8, 1966), credited as Veronica Falcon and occasionally Veronica Falcón, is a Mexican actress and choreographer. When it comes to her English-speaking roles, she is best known for playing Camila Vargas in three seasons of Queen of the South and Lupe Gibbs in the 2020 HBO reboot of Perry Mason. In 2022, Falcón played Camila Elizondo (sister of cartel boss Omar Navarro), for Season 4 of Ozark.
Falcón was born August 8, 1966, in Mexico City, Mexico. Ignoring stigma perpetuated by her family, Falcón went into the entertainment industry, finding success over three decades working as an actress and choreographer in Mexico's National Opera Company, on Mexican television, and in Mexican film. In 2014, Falcón was nominated by PECIME — the Asociación de Periodistas Cinematográficos de México — for the Diosas de Plata award for best supporting film actress for her role as La Diabla in the 2013 film Besos de Azúcar.
In 2016, at the age of 50, she made the decision to risk forgoing an established career in Mexico to further her career in the U.S., strongly believing such opportunities should be taken. She is purported to be the first Mexico-born actress to secure a second lead role in a U.S. TV drama, thanks to her role as Camila Vargas in 39 episodes of Queen of the South. In 2019, Falcón was awarded the Outstanding Performance in a Television Series Impact Award for her portrayal of Camila Vargas in Queen of the South at the 22nd annual National Hispanic Media Coalition Impact Awards Gala.
