"We regret to confirm the passing of the incredible actor Ignacio López Tarso. Q.E.P.D.", journalist Mara Patricia Castañeda reported through social networks.
Last Thursday, López Tarso was reported with pneumonia and intestinal obstruction, which kept him hospitalized for a week in Mexico City.
Born on January 15, 1925, Ignacio López López, (his real name), is considered one of the country's greatest actors during the 20th century.
His artistic career began in the theater with the help of the Mexican writer Xavier Villaurrutia, who was considered his greatest mentor.
In the cinema, he debuted in the film La Desconocido, directed by Chano Urueta, where he gave life to a police inspector. However, his biggest performance was in Macario, a film that managed to be Mexico's first nomination at the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film.
El Derecho de Nacer, Senda de Gloria and El Encanto del Águila were some of his most representative projects on the small screen.
López Tarso also ventured into politics by being Federal Deputy of the LIV H. Legislature for the 8th Electoral District of Mexico City in 1991.
