There he remained for two years, until age 14, when Gonzalo was awarded a scholarship to learn English, which moved him to Nebraska as a foreign exchange student for two years. It was during his time living in the United States that he fell in love with the performing arts. Returning yet again to his native Chile, Gonzalo enrolled in the Business Administration program at Santiago's esteemed Mariscal Sucre University. Feeling unfulfilled after three years, he left the program to pursue his dream of working as an actor.
Gonzalo moved to the Czech Republic to train with the legendary Jerzy Grotowsky. Finishing the program, he returned home to Chile for the 4th time, in order to continue his studies at the National TV Network Talent Academy. It was here that had the rare experience in being trained in mime by the legendary Marcel Marceau. In 1999, Gonzalo moved to Miami, Florida and almost immediately went to work in television on Spanish-language network series for Telemundo and Univision. Through the course of his illustrious career, he has appeared on-stage in over 25 theater productions, has built a stellar resume/curriculum as a big name in Spanish-language filmed entertainment, with a body of work including major film roles and numerous series leads in dozens of top-rated Spanish language television shows in both the U.S. and with U.S. affiliate networks in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela.

In the mid 1950s Monna Bell was barely in her teens when she took part in a singing contest held at Radio Minerias, then Chile's most popular radio station. Her voice and style won over the listeners and she became a regular at the station's live music shows. She was praised by her ability to sing both romantic ballads and swinging jazz tunes and blues, rare qualities in a Latin artist. Sometime in 1956 she was asked by prestigious band leader Roberto Inglez to join his group as a vocalist for a 3-week stint at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. Miss Bell and the band had such a success that they stayed for a whole year in the Big Apple. From there they toured Europe but in Madrid the young vocalist decided to go solo after receiving an attractive offer from that city's best night club the Pasapoga. Monna Bell at the Pasapoga was a huge success and she became a favorite of Spanish audiences.
By 1959 she was recording for Hispavox a repertoire of romantic songs which included a cover of The Platter's "My Prayer" (Rogar), the theme song from the Hollywood film "Anastasia" and a Spanish version of "Woman in Love" (Una Mujer Enamorada) from "Guys and Dolls." That same year she was invited to appear at the First Spanish Song Festival held at Benidorm, a beach resort in Alicante, Spain, and her rendition of a jazzy novelty tune titled "Un Telegrama" made quite sensation winning the top award. Her recording of "Un Telegrama" became an international hit both in Europe and Latin American making Monna Bell a top recording star. From then on, it was hit after hit for the vocalist including "La Montaña," "Silencio Corazón," "Aun Te Sigo Amando," "Envidia," "Tómbola" and many others which spread her fame all over the world. She recorded with orchestras led by top musicians such as Augusto Algueró Jr., Gregorio García Segura and Bebo Valdés.
Monna Bell combined her recording activities with live performances and television work. Between 1962 and 1964 Mexican film producers featured her in three films just to take advantage of her popularity as a singer. Around this time, she settled in Mexico and married cinematographer Alex Phillips Jr. The marriage did not last long but it produced a daughter and a son. Monna's reputation as a hit maker followed her for many years and in 1968 she left the Hispavox label and signed with Mexico's Musart. However, the Musart sessions relayed heavily on Spanish covers of American and British hits and although these assured her air play on Spanish language radio stations everywhere, the excitement of the first years was gone. In the 1970s she left Musart and signed with Orfeon where mediocre material, bad arrangements and worst production values sabotaged her career. Not even the dismal 1977 disco-version of her "Un Telegrama" mega-hit could revive the popularity of one of the most gifted vocalists in Latin music history. There were also rumors of blacklisting by Televisa, a monopoly which, at that time, extended its influence on Mexican television, radio, recording, night clubs, printed press, etc. In the 1980s it seemed her career had run out of steam and Miss Bell was reported as "living happily in retirement". She was quickly forgotten by both the public and the music industry, ignoring the facts that she had one of the greatest voices of the century and had served as inspiration to a whole new generation of singers and songwriters.
Among these was the top Mexican composer-singer Juan Gabriel who tried to remedy the situation by luring Miss Bell out of retirement to appear as a guest star in some of his shows, both in Latin America and in the United States. He even built a guest villa for Monna in his enormous living compound in New Mexico so that she could vacation there whenever she felt like it. The relationship became an enduring friendship and offered the promise of a grand return for Monna Bell but it never happened. In 1993 Miss Bell recorded for Sony "Monna Bell Ahora," an album composed and produced by Juan Gabriel which went into oblivion as soon as released. Juan Gabriel blamed Sony for failing to promote the album properly, but critics pointed out that the selection of songs was the main culprit in the debacle. One critic wrote: "Miss Bell's voice is as great as ever and her interpretation retains the genius that made her a legendary vocalist, but there's not much she, or anyone else, can do with this boring material."
The hopes for a true artistic return vanished on April 21, 2008. While recovering from a successful colon cancer surgery, Monna Bell died of cerebral hemorrhage at a hospital in Tijuana, Baja California, where she was residing to be close to her daughter and grandchildren.- Arturo Vidal was born on 22 May 1987 in Santiago de Chile, Metropolitan Region, Chile.
