Obituary - Elisa Ramírez, actress

 

The Valencian actress Elisa Ramírez has died at the age of 83. Retired from all artistic activity for almost thirty years, she will be remembered for her numerous recordings for Spanish Television.

A series of programs, written by Alfredo Amestoy, caused an impact on television when she was pregnant with her son Diego. In 'El día de mañana', she monologue weekly with her offspring. But before that he had already conquered the viewer with series such as 'The Twelve Faces of Juan'; 'Historias para no dormir', 'Curro Jiménez' and, naturally, dozens of dramatic spaces of Estudio1 and Novela.

Elisa had married the actor, director and producer Diego Serrano in 1961. Years later both would form their own comedy company with which they performed, among other titles, 'Save the Dolphins', 1985; 'Toys for a Marriage', 1987; ¡A media luz los tres', 1993 or 'La mujer constante', 1997, her last stage appearance. Diego Serraño died in 2016.

She entered the cinema in 1963 although she would not have great roles until she filmed 'La Revoltosa', in 1968 and, above all, a first version of 'La Celestina', alongside Amelia de la Torre and Julián Mateos. It was one of the great commercial successes of Spanish cinema. Her last film – she barely had a filmography of 15 titles – was 'Memoirs of General Escobar', from 1984. Two years later she recorded for Televisión Española, the medium that had elevated her, a last series: 'Tristeza de amor'.
