Actress Alicia Bonet, one of the most emblematic figures of Mexican cinema during the sixties and seventies, died at the age of 78, as confirmed on October 26.

Her participation in films that marked an era such as 'Hasta el viento tiene miedo', directed by Carlos Enrique Taboada, made her a benchmark of horror cinema in that country.

Bonet developed an artistic career that spanned theater, television and film, standing out for his ability to adapt to the different stages of entertainment in Mexico.

Her reserved character outside the public sphere contrasted with the intensity of the characters she played, women of great emotional complexity who today are part of the country's cinematographic heritage.

"The National Association of Interpreters announces the sensitive death of our interpreter partner Alicia Bonet. Mexican actress remembered for her participation in films such as 'Hasta el viento tiene miedo', 'Despedida de soltera' and 'El scapular'," they highlighted.

"To his family and friends we send our most heartfelt condolences on behalf of the Board of Directors and Vigilance Committee of ANDI."

The causes of death were not immediately released.

Born on April 26, 1947, in Mexico City, Alicia Bonet began her career in youth theater during the fifties, soon managing to make her way in cinema.

He shared credits with prominent figures of the media such as Angélica María, Arturo de Córdova, Alberto Vázquez and Andrés Soler.

On a personal level, Bonet was married twice. First with the actor Juan Ferrara, with whom she had two sons: Juan Carlos and Mauricio.
