Julie Delpy, honored at FICUNAM for her career

A second Olmec monolith crosses the ocean

The Colossal Head 4 of Saint Lawrence is now in the Shanghai Museum, China. This was confirmed by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH). The piece is part of “Sacred Spaces. Civilizations of Ancient Mexico”, an exhibition inaugurated on July 8 that brings together 803 pieces from different regions of the country.

The loan follows the one made in 2024 with the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum, where the Colossal Head 5 is exhibited. Initially, its return was expected in 2025, but businessman Bernardo Noval indicated on Instagram that it will remain until 2027. The INAH has not issued an official date for that piece.

Return agreed for the end of 2027

The INAH did specify that the Colossal Head 4 and the other pieces will return to Mexico at the end of the exhibition in Shanghai, scheduled for the end of 2027. The release of these monuments—nine in total, originating from Veracruz and Tabasco—generates debate about the balance between cultural dissemination and heritage preservation.

For now, the Olmec colossus joins the long list of Mexican treasures that travel the world, carrying with it the imprint of one of the oldest civilizations in Mesoamerica.

12 days after entering The house of the famous Mexico, Cynthia Klitbo already identifies the most difficult thing about confinement: the distance from her loved ones.

The rules of the reality show prohibit photos or personal memories. Everything remains in memory. “What do I plan? Well, they are inside my heart. Do you think I am going to erase my daughter’s face from the image? Never. My boyfriend is the first sun I see on my pillow, but I will carry them in my heart and in my mind,” she said in an interview.

Between pets and absences

The actress recognizes that those who will feel her absence the most will be her pets. “It’s going to be very difficult because everyone sleeps with me. In the mornings my cats come to bed… and there’s my chihuahua, Carmelita, who is like my baby. I think it’s going to be difficult for me to let go of her,” he explained. Two friends will take care of the animals in their absence.

Although he will miss the calls with his daughter, who is studying in the United States, Klitbo does not see the reality show as a sacrifice. On the contrary: “It will be difficult not to be able to talk to my daughter on the phone… not to be in contact with my family, with my dogs and also with my boyfriend…”. But he considers the project an important professional opportunity.

An opportunity, not a sacrifice

With more than 40 years of experience in soap operas such as Amor en Silent, Cadenas de Amargura, La Dueña and El Privilege de Amar, the actress seeks to connect with new audiences. “I think it is a very big opportunity because it is a different type of audience. It is a project that people liked and that catapults you… More than a sacrifice, it is an opportunity,” he stated.

Regarding the competition, Klitbo confesses that he would like to win, but he is realistic. “I would love to win, but I’m not the only one who’s going to be in there. We have other participants and anything can happen. But look, being in there is a win-win.”

She is the sixth participant confirmed for the show’s fourth season, which premieres July 26.

A career that marked an era

Elsa Aguirre, one of the last great figures of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, died at the age of 95. The news sparked a wave of tributes on social media, where colleagues and admirers remembered his legacy.

The actress participated in titles such as Red Rain (1950), The Woman I Loved (1950) and Beware of Love (1954). He shared credits with the most important actors of his time.

Reactions from the artistic community

Angélica Aragón called her “iconic actress” and shared photographs in her memory. Laura Zapata remembered when she interviewed her and discovered that she was “an intelligent, elegant woman with great human quality.”

“With deep sadness I receive the news of the death of the endearing Elsa Aguirre, one of the most beautiful, talented and emblematic women of Mexican cinema,” wrote Zapata.

Laura León regretted her departure and recalled the time they worked together on Deceived Women alongside Michelle Vieth and Sabine Moussier. He said: “Thank you for your infinite talent and for the beautiful moments we shared.”

Miguel Torruco Garza, undersecretary of the SSPC, also fired her. As the grandson of actor Miguel Torruco Castellanos and actress María Elena Marqués, he recalled that Elsa Aguirre shared the screen with his grandfather.

“Mexico says goodbye to Elsa Aguirre, star of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema. She shared the screen with my grandfather… My deepest condolences to her family,” he published.

Juan José Origel described her as “one of the most beautiful women in the artistic world” and stated that she “flew to heaven at the age of 95.”

With his departure an important chapter of national cinema closes. His work remains a testament to a golden era.
