Dominican actress

Coral Peña (born 1992/1993)[1] is a Dominican actor.[1][2][3] She is known for playing the role of NASA flight director Aleida Rosales on the Apple TV+ series For All Mankind.[3][4][5]

Early life and education

[edit]

Peña was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and raised by a single mother in Harlem, New York.[3][6][7][8] She graduated from St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s School.[9]

Peña took acting classes while attending the Peddie School in New Jersey, and decided to pursue a career in that field.[10] After graduating from Peddie,[10] Peña studied drama at New York University Tisch School of the Arts and RADA.[3][8]

Peña made her debut film appearance in the 2017 film The Post, directed by Steven Spielberg.[2][3]

Peña was cast opposite Corey Hawkins, Miranda Otto and Jimmy Smits in the reboot of 24 titled 24: Legacy in 2016.[11] In 2020 she joined the main cast of For All Mankind in its second season playing the older Aleida Rosales (younger Aleida played by Olivia Trujillo in season one).[12][5][4][13]

Peña’s stage performances include the role of Ry in the off-Broadway premiere of BLKS at the MCC Theater,[14][15][16] Kit in Our Dear Dead Drug Lord at the Kirk Douglas Theatre,[6][17][18] and Ophelia in Robert O’Hara‘s production of Hamlet, starring Patrick Ball as Hamlet and Gina Torres as Gertrude, at the Mark Taper Forum.[19][20] The Los Angeles Times praised Peña’s performance in Hamlet, noting her “formidable Ophelia might be the production’s saving grace. Fiercely independent, she answers to no one’s morality but her own.”[21]

In 2023, Peña was nominated for an Imagen Award for Best Supporting Actress, for her work on For All Mankind.[22]

She currently narrates the American version of Antiques Roadshow.[23][24]
