Ludwika Paleta (born November 28, 1978) is a Polish-Mexican actress who is very popular in Latin American, though she was born in Poland. Paleta's sister Dominika Paleta is also an actress. Paleta in a recent interview declared that she loves both Poland and Mexico, but that she does not see herself living outside Mexico in the future. Paleta is fluent in Spanish, Polish and English.

Paleta moved to Mexico as a child. She was taken by her sister to an audition, and she impressed the casting directors so much that soon after, she was offered her first television job on the children's telenovela "Carrousel." Paleta's character, María Joaquina, was the villain of the show. Paleta became an instant celebrity with her character, and a sex-symbol among Mexican preteen boys.

Three years later, in 1992, she returned to the small screen in what she calls her favorite television job yet, "El Abuelo y Yo." This was also a major hit among the Mexican preteen and teenage television audience.

In 1996, Paleta characterized another young villain, Titá, in "María la del Barrio," alongside Thalia.

1998 was a very important year for Paleta. Not only did she get to participate in "Huracan," alongside Angelica Rivera and Eduardo Palomo, but she also met, during the filming of "Huracan," her future husband, actor Plutarco Haza. They married later in the year, and she gave birth to a baby boy in 1999.

Paleta's latest work, as of 2003, has been the equally successful "Amigas y Rivales." "Amigas y Rivales" also became a major international hit, and Ludwika admitted during an interview that she and her co-star in the soap, Puerto Rican actress Adamari Lopez, have become very close friends.

In 2008, she and Plutarco Haza were divorced.

In 2013, she got remarried to Emiliano Salinas Occelli, son of former Mexican president Carlos Salinas de Gortari.

Ludwika recently appeared on the cover of the magazine H para Hombres. She also joined actor Aarón Díaz as the spokespeople for Calvin Klein in Mexico.

In 2012, she starred as Estefania Bouvier de Castañón in "Abismo de pasion" as part of a special participation.
