Mexico City- The actress Anabel Gutiérrez, known for various roles in the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, in films such as Desired (1951) and Escuela de Vagabundos (1955), died this Sunday at the age of 89.

According to the Twitter account of Televisa Espectaculos, as well as other media, the comedian also died in the city of Puebla.

Born in Mexico City on September 5, 1931, Anabelle Rafaela Gutiérrez Aicua (her full name) participated in just over 40 movies and soap operas.

The comedian began her career in the seventh art in 1949, in the film El Diablo no es tan Diablo, by Julián Soler, starring Sara García and Julián Soler.

He immediately began to appear in more film projects. In 1950 she made Azahares Para tu Boda, acting alongside Fernando Soler, Marga López and Joaquín Pardavé. Later he filmed the movie Descada, with Dolores del Río and Jorge Mistral.

However, it was until Escuela de Vagabundos (1955), by Rogelio A. González, that he really rose to fame, participating alongside Pedro Infante and Miroslava. By this time and after acting in almost twenty films, he managed to establish himself as a figure of the so-called Golden Age of Mexican cinema.

Little Angels of the Trapeze (1959), Music at Night (1958), Las Aventuras de Pito Pérez (1957) and El Coyote Emplumado (1983) were other of his most recognized films.

He also participated in several television projects, such as Cárcel de Mujeres and María Soledad. However, it was in the eighties within the comedy program Chespirito when she got her “second wind”, by giving life to the character of Doña María Espotaverderona Torquemada, mother of “La Chimoltrufia” (Florinda Meza).

Her last appearance on TV was in 2007, with a small role in the telenovela Lola, Érase una Vez.

Anabel Gutiérrez is the mother of fellow actress Amairani Romero and grandmother of Macarena García, known for playing the roles of Natalia Alexander in the Mexican series Control Z.
