It was his birthday last Sunday and today, in addition to his steps through the theater, he leaves behind a filmography of almost 60 productions between film and television.
“She was a rude, tough, difficult woman who demanded a lot, questioned me a lot, her character was carefully prepared,” recalls Rafael Montero, who directed her in the movie Broken Hearts.
The actress was born in Mexico City in 1937. When she finished high school, her parents put her in the normal teacher school and she practiced classes for a year before enrolling in physical education.

“I told him the acting career was art; I left home and achieved freedom, ”he told EL UNIVERSAL in an interview about his 70-year life.
He was part of the Center for Theatrical Experimentation and played in productions such as Groot en klein and Uit film.
“I remember seeing her in the theater and they were actresses, actors, who brought a new role into their souls and into their hearts,” says Montero.
Eileen Yáñez, winner of the 2011 Ariel for “Days of Grace,” met her on the theatrical sets. There he saw that the actress was someone who could joke offstage and in fractions of a second she got into character.
“He could come out of a dramatic scene, crying, or out of a strong scene, order his Coke, have a drink because he said he couldn’t do that much and return to the scene focused, he had the gift of subtlety, to do a lot of things with his eyes saying “, taking.
The playwright and writer Claudia Rios he directed it in “Las gelatinas”, a play that also involved Eileen.
While a student, Ríos heard a lot about strife in actors and didn’t quite understand what that meant. But he saw The Passion according to Berenice, starring Navarro and there he understood: everything could happen to the character with brute force, but she barely moved, with two or three steps she conveyed everything.
Remember, the actress can be sour, but not in bad faith. And he did not see humans as politically correct.
She went beyond being an actress. There are actors with great personalities and they are hired for that, they have charisma and others too because of their formal qualities, great voice and powerful, but most of them stay there; there are other very good ones that are organic, drawing emotions from a fictional stimulation; Martha was at the highest level of actors, she was a poet, something happened to her that you hardly ever see, that through her gaze you could see the universe of everything that we are human beings ”, emphasizes Ríos.
