She also had little parts in telenovelas.
In 1992, having left Timbiriche behind, Paulina is ready to become Mexico’s Golden Girl. She had travelled to Spain earlier to record her first solo album, La Chica Dorada (which translates to The Golden Girl in English), with the record label EMI. After being a great accomplishment, Paulina recorded three more albums with EMI: 24 Kilates in 1993, El Tiempo Es Oro in 1995, and Planeta Paulina in 1996.
In 1996, Paulina decided to take a four-year break. In the end it really wasn't a true break, since Rubio was living in Spain and doing a little bit of everything. One of the most important things she did while in Spain was hosting the TV show "Vive el Verano". This show gave her a lot of exposure and terrain in fame - especially when she interpreted the program's theme song which was also titled "Vive el Verano".

Mexico’s Golden Girl aroused and took pleasure in shaking things up with singles like “Lo Hare Por Ti”, “El Ultimo Adios”, “Tal Vez, Quiza”, “Y Yo Sigo Aqui”, “Sexi Dance”, and “Yo No Soy Mujer.” Paulina soon found herself becoming the winner of multiple awards, gaining 3 Grammy nominees, selling over 2.5 million copies of Paulina, and going - not only Platinum - but Double Diamond with the album.
