Griselda: Colombian drug lord ‘Cocaine Godmother’ gets Hollywood makeover

Sofia Vergara will play Griselda Blanco

“The only man I was ever afraid of was a woman named Griselda Blanco.” This is what infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar allegedly once said about the person who created one of the most profitable cartels in history.

A woman who had people murdered because “she didn’t like the way they looked at her”, Blanco was a ruthless criminal mastermind whose name was one of the most feared in 1970s and 80s Miami.

Now the notorious drug lord has had a Hollywood makeover as Modern Family’s Sofía Vergara joins forces with the team behind crime drama Narcos to play the leader of the criminal underworld.

I watched a documentary on Griselda she was an ugly psycopath. Much as I like Sofia I don’t think she is right for the role.
