Career

A graduate of the National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts, she made her theatrical debut in 1964 in Los prójimos, by Carlos Gorostiza, marking the beginning of a distinguished stage career that would later expand decisively into television and film. Over the decades, her work has been recognized with numerous national and international awards, reflecting both her artistic range and her sustained influence in Argentine performing arts.
Her most notable film performances include David Jose Kohon's Brief Heaven, Mario Benedetti's The Truce (1974 film)—the first Argentine film ever nominated for an Academy Award for Best [Foreign Language Film]—The film directed by Sergio Renan has since gained cult status in Argentina.It was selected as the eighth greatest Argentine film of all time in a poll conducted by the Museo del Cine Pablo Ducrós Hicken in 1984, while it ranked 6th in the 2000 edition and Chechechela, una chica de barrio.
For her performance in Breve cielo, she received the Silver Condor Award for Best Actress from the Argentine Film Critics Association, as well as the Silver St. George Award for Best Actress at the Moscow International Film Festival. She later won a second Silver Condor for her role in Chechechela, una chica de barrio.
In theatre, she demonstrated remarkable versatility, performing works by playwrights such as Arthur Miller, Henrik Ibsen, Ramón del Valle-Inclán, Neil Simon, Roger Vitrac, Oscar Viale, and Wajdi Mouawad.
In 1987, she broadened her artistic profile by appearing as a vedette alongside Antonio Gasalla at the Teatro Maipo, one of Buenos Aires’ most emblematic revue venues—an unusual and revealing turn that underscored her command of popular as well as classical theatrical forms.
In television, she won nine nominations and won the Martín Fierro Awards in 1990 and 2016.
Her career-long contributions were formally acknowledged with the Konex Platinum Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1991, and in 2014 she received the Silver Condor Award for Career Achievement, cementing her legacy as one of the most significant figures in Argentine theatre and cinema.
