Jimena Romero is a professional scriptwriter, one of two daughters of Colombian media idol Bernardo Romero and acting legend Judy Henriquez. She married musician and producer Julio Reyes in 1993.

Early life

As a child, Jimena often went with her father off-screen. She learned the camera control, and how to write screenplays, from these constant visits. For the rest of the time, she was alone, with only her gullible nannies and sister, Adriana. Jimena was, as a child, eager if she could see her mother and father even once every month. Apart from this, she loved writing and was fascinated by the television industry. This would sky-rocket her career as an adult many years afterwards.
