Goodbye to Margarita Lozano, the most hypnotic actress in Spanish cinema.
The interpreter combined the cinema with a theatrical career in which she participated in important productions in the fifties and sixties
The actress Margarita Lozano, the icon of Spanish cinema of the 20th century, who worked with great directors, such as Luis Buñuel or Pier Paolo Pasolini, has died at dawn this Monday at the age of 91 at her home in Puntas de Calnegre, in the municipality Murcian of Lorca, has confirmed the City council of this locality.
Lozano had received on June 23 the Gold Medal for Fine Arts, awarded by the Council of Ministers, in recognition of her career in film, which led him to share the screen with actors such as Francisco Rabal or Clint Eastwood.
Born in Tetuán, in 1931, her childhood and youth were spent in Lorca, who in 2014 named her Adoptive Daughter. Lozano moved to Madrid at the age of 19 to study and soon decided to focus on her theatrical vocation. Led by director Miguel Narros, she participated in important theatrical productions in the 1950s and 1960s, a career that she combined with cinema, both in Spain and Italy, under the orders of filmmakers such as Luis Buñuel, Mario Camus, Sergio Leone, and Pier Paolo Pasolini, among others.
After a voluntary retirement, she returned to the cinema in the eighties, with the Taviani brothers, who directed her in La Noche de San Lorenzo, Kaos, and Good Morning, Babilonia. In Spain, it was Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón who recovered her in Half of Heaven (1986), with which she won the ACE Award (New York) for best supporting actress.
His last appearance on stage was, under the direction of Amelia Ochandiano, in the classic La casa de Bernarda Alba, by Federico García Lorca, between 2005 and 2007, after having recently performed Six characters in search of an author, by Pirandello, directed by Miguel Narros.
