“The DirectiveCouncil and the Mexico Surveillance Committee, communicate the sensitive death of the interpreter Pilar Pellicer; actress who began her career in the last stage of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. Our condolences, to her daughter, Ariane Pellicer” .

Pilar Pellicer was niece of “The Poet of America” ​​Carlos Pellicer, sister of the also actress Pina Pellicer.

She made her film debut in the movie “The Doll Seller” in 1955.

Pilar has loved movies since childhood, when her uncle played movies for her and her little brothers.

“And I saw him put up a stage and dance!” the actress recalled in an interview for EL UNIVERSAL in 2018.

So it was normal that the one born in 1938 in Mexico City, devoted herself fully to the big screen and whose filmography includes “Pedro Páramo” and “La choca”.

“I love cinema with all my soul, whoever gives me recognition for it, I receive it with love,” he said in 2018, the year in which he received a tribute within the framework of the Guanajuato International Film Festival (GIFF).

As part of his career, in 1959 he worked on the movie “Nazarín” and shared the scene with Marga López, Rita Macedo, Ignacio López Tarso, and Ofelia Guilmáin.

That same year he received a scholarship from the French Institute for Latin America to study acting in Paris, France, where he remained for six years working in Gallic cinema, television and theater.

During this time she married the American sculptor James Meccalf, with whom she had a daughter, Ariane.

In recent years he has produced plays and directed films.
