A lifelong smoker, she began smoking when she was 11 years, she was diagnosed with COPD and faced with the likelihood that she would develop pulmonary emphysema if she did not give up smoking. She could not imagine herself not smoking, and was having a difficult time giving it up and turned to an addiction psychiatrist. After she successfully quit smoking, during an interview she said the best thing she's done in her life was to give up smoking.[7][8]
Career
editPankowsky began acting in high school. Pankowsky was an extra in the theater production of Hat Full of Rain (Un sombrero lleno de lluvia) and met Luis Gimeno who was also in the play. At that time Gimeno was the director of the school of the National Association of Actors (ANDA), he encouraged her to study acting there.[9]
In 2005 Pankowsky's role as Marta Sahagún, Mexico's First Lady and wife of President Vicente Fox, in El privilegio de mandar opened many doors for her and "gave her the greatest success of her career".[10][11]
In 2016 she participated in the Bellas Artes reading promotional program “Leo… luego existo” (I read, therefore I exist) at the International Book Fair in Arteaga, where she read from the book "La culpa es de los Tlaxcaltecas " by Elena Garro, which encourages people of all ages to read.[12]
