La Intrusa is a Venezuelan telenovela produced by Radio Caracas Televisión in 1986. Based on a story written by Inés Rodena, it is a remake of the 1971 telenovela La Usurpadora which starred Marina Baura and Raul Amundaray with the new version being written by Ana Mercedes Escámez, Benilde Ávila and Zaret Romero.
Mariela Alcalá played the dual role of twins Virginia and Estrella accompanied by Víctor Cámara as the male protagonist.
The spoiled and insensitive Estrella de Rossi comes across a humble girl, Virginia, who is her spitting image; almost immediately a game occurs to her and, as a bit of mischief, she pays the girl to impersonate her. When she pulls this off successfully and no one notices the change, Estrella goes further and decides to take a year off to go out and live her life. She forces her double to accept this pact and the young village girl is left to assume the role of a rich and married woman, with a husband who is not really hers but who she ends up falling in love with. She will also face an alcoholic mother-in-law, stepchildren in need of attention and love, a company teetering on bankruptcy and above all, the eminent danger of discovery.
