Though most of Jones’ career was in Mexican TV and cinema, she crossed over to a U.S. role when she played Lola across several episodes of the soap opera “Passions” in 2004. She also appeared in movies including “Tercera Llamada,” for which she was nominated for an Ariel Award. Most recently, Jones starred in the telenovela “Cabo,” airing from October 2022 through a month before her death.
