Leonor Varela expecting baby in the fall

Actress Leonor Varela is having a baby. The 39-year-old Chilean actress is expecting her child with producer Lucas Akoskin this fall. Varela, who plays a “sexy villain” named Marta Del Sol on TNT’s revival of “Dallas, thinks highly of her character. The actress told Entertainment Tonight, “She’s street smart from being burned before, so she is willing to do things outside her ethical comfort zone in order to get things done. And that’s one of the things I love about her — you can label her as a bad guy, but at the same time, in a world where you have to survive, you have to do what it takes.”
