An immensely popular star in the Rioplatense area is often regarded as a Grand Dame of the South American theater stage.

Her distinguished career took off in Uruguay in the 50-60s, later she settled in Argentina where she lived for over 35 years and was popular on TV, theater, and cinema. At 90, she retired and went back to Uruguay where she died in 2014.
