Sylvia Pasquel (born Silvia Banquells Pinal, 13 October 1949) is a Mexican actress.
Pasquel was born into a show business family: her father, Rafael Banquells, was a famous Cuban-born actor and director. Her mother is Silvia Pinal, an actress very well known throughout Latin America and Spain. She chose the professional surname of "Pasquel" as a combination of her father's and mother's last names.
Pasquel's siblings are also famous: her siblings on mother's side are actresses Viridiana Alatriste, singer Alejandra Guzmán and Luis Enrique Guzmán Pinal. Both Alejandra and Luis Enrique were a product of Pasquel's mother's third marriage to Mexican once teen idol Enrique Guzmán. Viridiana died as a consequence of a car accident.
She is a half-sister of the actress and singer Rocío Banquells. Rocío is the daughter of Pasquel's father with his third wife, actress Dina de Marco. Her other siblings on father's side are Janette, Mary Paz, Ariadne and Rafael II. In an interview, Pasquel said that because of the age difference between herself and her siblings, she was more motherly to them than sisterly.
Pasquel has been married twice, the first time at age 16 because her mother wanted her to be married as a virgin. Her first husband was the rocker Mike Salas. Her daughter, Stephanie Salas, is also a famous telenovela actress and an aspiring singer in Mexico. Her granddaughter, Michelle Salas, is Luis Miguel's daughter.
Her second husband is Fernando Frade. His daughter, named Viridiana (in honor of her dead sister) died in an accident in a pool in 1987.
Pasquel, her mother, and two of her of sisters—Banquells and Guzman—have been inducted into the Paseo de las Luminarias in Mexico City. Pasquel was inducted for her work in movies and television.
