Gloria Marín, a prominent figure of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 on April 19, 1919, in Mexico City, and began her acting career at a young age.
Marín’s romantic relationship with iconic actor Jorge Negrete captivated audiences, but their love story ended in separation after 11 years together.
Despite their deep connection, Marín and Negrete never married, citing personal and professional challenges, including infidelities and work pressures.
After her separation from Negrete, Marín married actor Abel Salazar in 1958, six years after her relationship with Negrete ended.
Jorge Negrete passed away on December 6, 1953, from cirrhosis of the liver, with reports suggesting that his enduring love for Marín contributed to his tragic fate.
The history of Mexican “carpas,” vibrant theatrical spaces, played a significant role in shaping Marín’s career, allowing her to hone her talent and gain public recognition.
