Renowned Mexican actress Silvia Pinal, a prominent figure from Mexico's cinematic Golden Age, has passed away at 93. Pinal's career spanned six decades, during which she starred alongside legendary figures such as Cantinflas and Pedro Infante, and headlined Luis Buñuel's acclaimed film Viridiana in 1961. Her work extended to two more of Buñuel's films, The Exterminating Angel and Simon of the Desert, affirming her place in cinematic history.
Transitioning with ease from the silver screen to television as Mexican film production waned in the 1960s, Pinal also made her mark as a producer and a member of Congress. Earlier this month, Pinal was admitted to the hospital for a urinary tract infection, and her passing was confirmed by Mexico's Culture Secretary, Claudia Curiel de Icaza. Commenting on social media, Curiel de Icaza stated, "Her legacy as an artist and her contributions to our culture are unforgettable. Rest in peace."
Pinal leaves behind a family steeped in the entertainment industry, including her ex-husband Enrique Guzmán, actress daughter Sylvia Pasquel, and rock singer daughter Alejandra Guzmán. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
