Tribute with scare
“First of all, I would like to know if the person who fell is okay,” said Cecilia Suárez when taking the microphone at the Teatro Juárez. The actress was referring to a photographer who accidentally fell into the stage pit from a height of about two meters. Official reports confirmed that he did not suffer injuries.
The night, however, was one of celebration. Suárez received the Silver Cross from the UNAM Film Library, an award made with metal remains from film development. Hugo Villa, director of the Film Library, joked: “They can give you 8 thousand pesos for it.”
The Tampico actress arrived accompanied by her son, whom she recognized as her driving force in life. She accepted that motherhood makes women corny, remembering María Félix:
“One tends to think that when one receives a tribute one must be a certain age, and I tend to think of myself as much younger than I really am. The path of an actress cannot be understood without collective effort.”
As an activist, she has raised her voice for women, including at the UN. He considered that in turbulent times, only collective efforts will help move forward.
Also speaking at the event were Irene Azuela, who confessed that at first she was afraid to share a set with her, but a joke calmed her down, and Ernesto Contreras, her director in Párpados azul and Las Oscuras Primaveras.
