Edurne Ganem, known professionally as Edy Ganem, is an American actress known for her role as Valentina Diaz in the Lifetime comedy-drama series Devious Maids.[2][3]

Life and career

Ganem was born in Modesto, California and raised in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico[4] along with her two younger brothers.[5] Her parents are both of Mexican and Lebanese descent, Ghanem being Arabic (غانم) for "victorious".[6][7] She is a graduate of the University of San Diego.[4] In 2008, she had various small roles in three episodes of HBO's comedy-drama series Entourage. Ganem had guest roles on several television shows, including It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The Cleveland Show and Rob.[8]

On Lifetime's Devious Maids, Ganem played Valentina Diaz, the positive, open-minded nineteen-year-old daughter and co-worker of Zoila Diaz (Judy Reyes) and love interest of Genevieve Delatour's (Susan Lucci's) son, Remi Delatour (Drew Van Acker).[9] The Diazes both serve as maids to Delatours and the romance between Valentina and Remi is something that Zoila discourages.[10]
