Cuna de Lobos (English title:Cradle of Wolves) is a Mexican telenovela produced by Carlos Téllez for Televisa in 1986. The serial, about the struggle for power within a wealthy Mexican dynasty, was enormously popular in its native Mexico. It was also a hit in several foreign countries, including the United States, Germany and Australia.
Diana Bracho and Gonzalo Vega starred as protagonists, while María Rubio starred as main antagonist, interpreting the evil "Catalina Creel". Alejandro Camacho and Rebecca Jones starred as antagonists.
The story begins one morning in the mansion of the Larios family, who are the heads of the giant international pharmaceutical company Lar-Creel. Carlos Larios (Raul Meraz) informs his wife Catalina Creel (Maria Rubio) that since he discovered the secret she has kept for years which has hurt the family deeply, he will change the will. On hearing this, she turns around to reveal that she wears an eye patch on her right eye. Not willing to have the will altered and have him reveal her secret to the family, she poisons him. Later that morning as he drives to work, he has a fatal heart attack brought on by the poison and dies at the wheel, which causes the car he’s driving to crash into an office building.
In that office works Leonora Navarro (Diana Bracho), an innocent and sweet woman of good heart who is studying Business Administration at school and takes care of her godmother Esperanza (Carmen Montejo) whom she has lived with since childhood as her mother had died when she was born and her father lives and works faraway in another part of the country. Leonora is the first to respond to the crash but she finds Carlos Larios already dead. She finds his wallet full of cash, documents, and credit cards. So she contacts Carlos’ youngest son Alejandro Larios (Alejandro Camacho) in order to give him the dreadful news and return the wallet. He comes to the office right away and Leonora returns the wallet with its entire contents intact to him. He is grateful and in the midst of his pain and loss, they decide to keep in touch.
Catalina has Carlos buried on that same day without an autopsy in order to avoid her crime being discovered, much to the dismay of Jose Carlos (Gonzalo Vega), Carlos’ eldest son who arrives from abroad and who is furious at missing his father’s funeral. Jose Carlos is a compulsive gambler and falls deeper into his gambling vice, ending up with a huge debt. He begins dating a young woman named Paulina (Edna Bolkan).
