La Baby Sister is a Colombian telenovela produced by Caracol TV which aired in the United States on the network Telemundo in 2001. The series, containing a total of 160 episodes, centers around the romance between two leading protagonists, Daniel Luna (played by Victor Mallarino) and Fabiana Estrella Rivera (played by Paola Rey). On Telemundo, La Baby Sister followed the wildly successful telenovela, Betty La Fea, which has since been reinvented in the US as ABC's Ugly Betty. La Baby Sister was meant to be the successor to Betty la Fea as a hip and funny romantic comedy, and it was partially successful in this goal. Both novelas feature similar characteristics— both were produced in Colombia, and both feature a mix of romance and humor, modern sound editing and camera work, and a plot that centers around a young female protagonist and her family. Although La Baby Sister gained some acclaim from both critics and viewers, it never achieved the popularity of Betty la Fea. Nonetheless, it is often credited with launching the career of Paola Andrea Rey, who has since become one of Colombia's biggest television stars.

Famous quotes containing the words baby and/or sister:
“A baby nurse is one that changes diapers and loves ‘em dearly. Get up at all hours of the night to give ‘em the bottle and change their pants. If the baby coughs or cries, you have to find out the need. I had my own room usually, but I slept in the same room with the baby. I would take full charge. It was twenty-four hours. I used to have one day a week off and I’d go home and see my own two little ones.”
—Ruth Lindstrom (c. 1892–?)

J.J. Gittes: I said I want the truth!
Evelyn Mulwray: She’s my sister and my daughter!”
