Narcos: Who was drug lord Griselda Blanco? | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

The famous drug lord does, however, feature in a number of documentary films including Cocaine Cowboys and its sequel.

There was also news of a film called Cocaine Godmother, a TV biopic on Blanco, which starred Catherine Zeta-Jones and aired in 2018 on Lifetime.

In an article titled ‘Searching for the Godmother of Crime’, from 2008, said: “The legend of Griselda Blanco was Born on a warm spring day in 1975, when her Learjet touched down at the Bogotá airport after a 2½-hour flight from Miami.

“A convoy of long black limousines manned by a crew of enforcers met the plane on the tarmac and whisked the 32-year-old over dusty roads toward the Colombian capital.

“Blanco was back in her native country to meet with her husband and business partner, Alberto Bravo, with whom she’d built a cartel that moved hundreds of kilos of cocaine in the U.S. and employed nearly 1,500 dealers.”
