Laura Natalia Esquivel (born May 18, 1994 in Buenos Aires, Argentina), known professionally as Laura Esquivel, is an Argentine actress and singer, who gained international popularity for her debut acting role as Patricia "Patito" Castro in the popular Argentine children's telenovela, Patito Feo.
From the age of 7, Laura took singing, acting, piano and dance lessons in her native Argentina. She was first introduced to the general public on reality-musical format Codigo F.A.M.A. Argentina which was aired in the entire Latin America in 2005. She was chosen to represent Argentina in the international version of the show and was one of the finalists in 2005.
Afterwards, she appeared in a tribute to Roberto Gómez Bolaños (Chespirito) in 2005 and in famous variety show "Sábado Gigante - Don Francisco Presenta". She was also chosen as one of the leads in the musical Peter Pan which had a long run in Buenos Aires.
In 2005, Argentina's most-watched show, Showmatch, did a segment on talented kids. Her segment, in which she sang Disney songs, achieved extremely high ratings and big repercussion. Because of that, Marcelo Tinelli offered her a development deal and she was soon chosen as the lead in Patito Feo, a children-oriented telenovela produced by Ideas del Sur.
Patito Feo began filming in 2006 in Buenos Aires. Its soundtrack achieved multiple platinum certifications and a Gardel Award. The show was also a huge success achieving high ratings, sold-out stadium concerts all over Latin America; it received a nomination for the International Emmy Awards in 2008 for the Children and Young People category.
