Silvia Abascal Estrada was born in Madrid, Spain, on March 20, 1979. She started acting on TV when she was just 14 years old. Her first show was a game show called Un, dos, tres... responda otra vez.
Her career really grew after she appeared in the 1995 TV series Pepa y Pepe. In this show, she played a character named Clarita. Clarita was a sarcastic and cool teenager who loved grunge music. Silvia learned a lot about acting from her teacher, Juan Carlos Corazza. She made her first movie, Time of Happiness, in 1997.

In 2003, Silvia became a Unicef goodwill ambassador. This means she helps promote the work of Unicef, an organization that helps children around the world.
In April 2011, Silvia faced a health challenge. She had a stroke, which meant she needed to take a break from acting.
