Klara Badiola

Licenciada en Filología Románica por la Universidad de Deusto. Inició su andadura en el campo del arte dramático simultaneando docencia (tras licenciarse impartió clases de Lengua y Literatura) con interpretación en el grupo de teatro en euskera Xaribari. Estas representaciones le llevaron a realizar un programa infantil en Radio Popular. Trabajando en este programa se presentó al casting de La fuga de Segovia (1981) de Imanol Uribe, y obtuvo un papel. El éxito de la película le impulsó a abandonar la docencia para dedicarse de lleno a la interpretación. Ingresó entonces en Antzerti, la escuela de Arte Dramático del Gobierno Vasco. Desde entonces, ha participado en innumerables películas y aparecido en numerosas series y películas realizadas para televisión.
