Ana Victoria García Obregón (born March 18, 1955 in Madrid, Spain) better known as Ana Obregón is a Spanish actress, television presenter, celebrity and socialite. Obregón has appeared in films from Spain, France, United States and Italy but she is best known for her high-profile personal life and her career as a television actress, most notably for her performances in the Spanish television series A las once en casa and Ana y los 7.
She obtained a Bachelor of Science in Biology (specializing in Zoology) from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
She is best known to American audiences for her role as Bo Derek's sidekick in 1984's Bolero. She also starred in Jules Verne's Mystery on Monster Island (1981) and the 3-D action adventure film Treasure of the Four Crowns (1983) with Tony Anthony. She also appeared in an episode of Who's the Boss?, playing Ana, Tony Micelli's Italian cousin.
A staple of the Spanish prensa rosa or gossip press, Obregón is also famous in Spain and Britain for a long relationship with Croatia striker Davor Šuker as well as a supposed liaison with the Real Madrid and England international football player David Beckham. This led to a spat with Beckham's wife Victoria who famously referred to the then 50-year-old as a "geriatric Barbie". Obregón later denied any sexual misconduct on her part, but sued instead.
