Paz Bascuñan's life began on June 2nd, 1975, in the vibrant city of Santiago de Chile, a place where her family's rich political heritage would later play a significant role in shaping her future.
Born to Carlos Bascuñán Edwards and Mariana Aylwin Oyarzún, Paz was destined for the spotlight. Her maternal grandfather, former Chilean president Patricio Aylwin, would undoubtedly have a profound influence on her life.
Paz's early years were marked by her passion for acting, and she began landing minor roles in movies at a young age. However, it was her starring turn in the soap opera Piel canela (2001) alongside her then-boyfriend, Benjamín Vicuña, that truly catapulted her to fame.
Although the soap opera received mixed reviews and lukewarm ratings, it piqued the interest of audiences, and Paz found herself inundated with offers from Chile's two largest television networks. After careful consideration, she ultimately chose to join the ranks of TVN, a decision that would prove to be a pivotal moment in her career.
When she's not treading the boards or in front of the camera, Paz can be found indulging in her love of dance or socializing with friends.
In her personal life, Paz tied the knot with producer Miguel Asensio (II) on April 26, 2008, and the couple has been blessed with two beautiful children.
