Corazón salvaje is a Mexican telenovela, which was produced by and broadcast on Televisa in 1966. It is the second of five screen adaptations of the novel of the same name by Caridad Bravo Adams. This telenovela was starred by singer Julissa while the 1977 production was starred by singer Angélica María who had previously had the role of Mónica in the 1968 film version. Actor Ernesto Alonso produced both telenovela versions. The role of Juan del Diablo went to Enrique Lizalde who, with Julissa, had previously starred in another Bravo Adams’ story, La mentira. This was the first starring role of Enrique Álvarez Félix, son of actress María Félix, in the role of the antagonist Renato Duchamp, the legitimate half-brother of Juan del Diablo. It was also the second time Jacqueline Andere co-starred with Enrique Lizalde, both being stage actors.
