Mario Moreno 'Cantinflas'
(Actor)
.. Inocencio Prieto y Calvo
Born:
August 12, 1911
Died:
April 20, 1993
Birthplace: Mexico City, Mexico
Trivia:
Immensely popular through-out the Spanish-speaking world and hailed as both Mexico's greatest clown and the Spanish Charlie Chaplin. Born Mario Moreno Reyes, he got his start as a tent-show song-and-dance man. Cantinflas became an acrobat and bull-ring clown (the clown who distracts the bull when the bullfighter gets in trouble). After appearing in unambitious Mexican comedies beginning in 1936, his first Hollywood film was Mike Todd's Around the World in 80 Days (1956), which earned him an international reputation for his performance as Passepartout. As his fame increased, Hollywood created a vehicle for him, the critical and commercial failure Pepe (1960), after which he returned to making Mexican films.

Trivia:
Though she made her first film in 1917, Mexican actress Sara Garcia's most active cinematic years were 1936 through 1957. In the early '40s, she starred in a popular series of family comedy-dramas, cast as Grandma Luisa Garcia. She played so many warm, matriarchal roles that she earned the affectionate soubriquet "The Grandmother of the Mexican Cinema." Retiring at the age of 65, Sara Garcia lived to be 85.
