She’ll appear opposite 38-year-old Mexican actor and singer Jaime Camil in the new telenovela.

“Now that they’ve announced that Por ella soy Eva will being taping, I’m happy,” exclaimed Lucero, who last starred in the oh-so-popular Soy Tu Dueña, which could be getting an American remake soon. “Happy, touched and with many beautiful expectations.”

Lucero will star as Elena—a single mother with an 8-year-old child—in the telenovela, which will center on a great man who falls in love for the first time and finds himself involved in a series of situations that force him to live “in the heels of a woman.”

Produced by Rosy Ocampo, the telenovela is a new version of the Colombian hit Los tacones de Eva.

Por ella soy Eva will premiere on Mexican television on February 12, 2012.

It looks like ABC will try its luck all over again with adapting a smash Latin American telenovela…

With help from Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, ABC is developing an English-language remake of the hit Mexican telenovela Soy Tu Dueña, according to Deadline. Longoria will serve as an executive producer on the project.

Co-produced by Televisa—the company behind the Mexican version—the American version will center on a Texas heiress who loses her fortune and is forced to move back to the ranch she grew up on. Soy Tu Dueña, which translates to “I’m Your Owner,” will be called A Woman Of Steel.

A remake of the 1995 telenovela La Dueña, Soy Tu Dueña—which starred Mexican telenovela royalty, Fernando Colunga and Lucero—was a ratings hit when it aired on Univision last year, ranking as the network’s most-watched telenovela ever.

ABC is the only American network to successfully adapt a Latin American telenovela with Ugly Betty. Based on the Colombian telenovela Yo soy Betty, la fea, the dramedy ran for four seasons on the network.

America Ferrera won a Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award and an Emmy for her portrayal of the fashionably challenged title character.

No word on who will star in ABC’s adaptation of Soy Tu Dueña. But Longoria wouldn’t be a bad choice… After all, she’s from Texas and her schedule should open up now that Desperate Housewives is going off the air this season.
