The first actress Ana Ofelia Murguía passed away this Sunday at the age of 90.
The news was confirmed on December 31 by the National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature (INBAL).
"It is with deep sadness that we mourn the passing of the first actress Ana Ofelia Murguía, who was part of the stable cast of the #INBAL @CNTeatromx and whose artistic career was vital for the performing arts in Mexico. We send condolences and affectionately embrace his family and friends," he posted on his X account.
Ana Ofelia Murguía was born on December 8, 1933 in Mexico City, Mexico. Although she has had very few leading roles in her career, the quality of her acting work made her one of the most recognized actresses in Mexican cinema.
She worked with the most important directors on key films of the Mexican national cinematography of the last three decades of the twentieth century, such as Felipe Cazals (El apando, Las poquianchis, Los motivos de Luz and Las inocentes), Jaime Humberto Hermosillo (Naufragio, Amor libre, De noche vienes, Esmeralda and Escrito en el cuerpo de la noche) and Arturo Ripstein (Cadena perpetua and La reina de la noche).
In April of this year, through the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the UNAM Coordination of Cultural Diffusion and the Ingmar Bergman Extraordinary Chair in Film and Theater, the actress received the 2022 Ingmar Bergman Chair Medal, in recognition of her career and contributions to the artistic work of our country.
During the ceremony, the artistic director of the CNT, Aurora Cano, said: "Since I was a theatre student, Ana Ofelia was an unattainable figure for me. From my perspective, it is distinguished by three characteristics: the first is unpredictability, that is, you never really know what is going to happen. She has a piercing gaze and suddenly, she reveals a sweetness. The second is the ability to play, an innate and incredible ability in it. And the third is born from a misunderstanding between actors, which has to do with this ability to generate all kinds of feelings. It's an incisive quality. As an audience, I've enjoyed it because of those elements. It is an honor for the CNT to have her as a full-time actress and she has participated and worked
