Trivia / Rosa salvaje

• Creator Backlash: Edith González ended up being so disappointed with her character that she ended up quitting the telenovela, saying "Nobody took me out. I resigned ... anything but to endure a humiliation." While for years it was assumed that González disliked playing a villain after having her first lead roles as heroines, it is now believed that it wasn't so much playing a villain (she even said that when she was first approached to play a villain, she though it was "cool"), but rather that her villain was only a secondary villain, since the telenovela's true Big Bad was agreed by everyone else to be Laura Zapata's character, the implication being that González assumed that she was misled. She also spoke of being "mistreated" during production, which most fans associate with the infamous scene where her character had pasta thrown at her.
• Dawson Casting: Verónica Castro was 35 at the time, but Rosa is implied to be at least a decade younger than that.
• The Other Darrin: Leonela was first played by Edith González, before being replaced in the role by Felicia Mercado.
