Blanca Rosa llegó a la pequeña pantalla después de haber probado su talento en el teatro, de la mano de teatristas emblemáticos. Pero en la compañía “Irrumpe”, es donde la actriz reconoce su punto de partida y su final. Ha probado fortuna como conductora en los espacios 23 y M y Ecos de mujer, en la Televisión Cubana, además en las premiaciones de los Lucas y el Festival Cubadisco. Considerada por algunos el “nuevo rostro” del cine cubano, lo cierto es que Blanca Rosa Blanco da la cara en muchas de nuestras más recientes producciones para la pantalla grande y en otros espacios audiovisuales. Esta prolífica y exitosa actriz ha pasado por las Páginas del diario de Mauricio, ha ganado en El premio flaco, juega en Habanastation y huye de los zombies en Juan de los muertos, por solo citar algunos. Y no conforme con eso, se las arregla para impartir clases, incursionar en la dirección… y más.
