Ana Acosta was born in Buenos Aires on 4 July 1961, to a family of Canarian descent.[1][2] She studied at the National Theater Conservatory,[3] and began appearing in productions such as Los Borgia, a musical comedy by Pepe Cibrián Campoy. She moved to television in 1990, when Jorge Guinzburg invited her to join the cast of Peor es nada.[3][4] She appeared on the program until 1993, receiving the Martín Fierro Award for artistic revelation in 1991.[5]

She subsequently appeared in numerous plays, including the one-woman shows Cómo se rellena un bikini salvaje and My Brilliant Divorce.[6] She received ACE and Sea Star Awards for her performance in the former.[7]

Her mother, also named Ana, died in 2015.[1]

In January 2021, Acosta appeared together with her daughter Talía in Casa Matriz. The play, written by Diana Raznovich and directed by Nicolás Pérez Costa, features a woman hiring several models of surrogate mother to help celebrate her 30th birthday.[8] Acosta had previously played the part of the daughter in a 1993 production.[9]
