Costa Ricans live by the mantra of Pura Vida.

She made her feature film debut in 1984 with “No vale nada la vida” and more recently starred in the TV series “Vencer la Culpa” and “Vecinos” and in a few episodes of “Quiéreme Tonto.”

Vida, a journalist, loves to paint.

Vida has been warned not to draw anything with a hidden meaning.

But one night the authorities "went and painted over it" and restricted Vida's access to painting supplies.
