Marco Antonio Solís returns to Texas on his Gratitud 2026 tour

The National Association of Interpreters (ANDI) confirmed the death of the Mexican actress Elsa Aguirre, at the age of 95. Considered one of the most emblematic figures of the Golden Age of national cinema, her departure leaves the entertainment industry in mourning.

“She was one of the most iconic and emblematic actresses of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, famous both for her dramatic talent and for being considered one of the most beautiful faces on the big screen,” ANDI’s Board of Directors and Surveillance Committee expressed in a statement.

Career and recognitions

Aguirre participated in classics such as Vanilla, Bronze and Dying (1954), Something Floats on the Water (1948) and Red Rain (1950), along with figures such as Jorge Negrete and Ignacio López Tarso. He worked with directors such as René Cardona, Miguel Zacarías and Rogelio A. González. Her versatility led her to comedy, drama, romance, action and musicals.

In 2003 he received the Honorary Ariel Award from the Mexican Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences for his career. In 2023, the Cineteca Nacional and the National Association of Actors (ANDA) paid tribute to him and awarded him the A life on stage medal. During the event, actor José Carlos Ruiz stated:

“It is an obligatory reference for national cinema.”

His filmography includes titles such as Pancho Villa y la Valentina, The statue of meat, La perversa and his participation in the Hollywood production Giant (1956). Elsa Aguirre’s legacy remains in the collective memory and in the films that marked a golden era of Mexican cinema.

A romance that marked the Golden Age

The film Beware of Love (1954) by Miguel Zacarías united Pedro Infante and Elsa Aguirre in one of the most remembered romances in Mexican cinema. The film included scenes that were daring for the time, such as when Infante observes Aguirre in his underwear.

The film’s poster, published in EL UNIVERSAL, warned:

A movie for lovers that children can also watch! Pedro and Elsa’s kisses have already become famous… When a man is hit, that is when he falls the most in love… but they also kiss Pedro Infante and what kisses!… they caress him and what caresses!

In the film, Infante performs the song “One Hundred Years” twice: first in a cantina and then in front of Aguirre’s window. The criticism of the time, signed by Duende Filmo, highlighted the scene in which Aguirre undresses in front of Infante. She noted that the “very modest” director avoided actual nudity by putting long stockings on her, but left the suggestion that Infante was watching her take off her bra.

Aguirre’s beauty was the most praised. Critics also recognized the musical selection – songs like “Cien años”, “Si tú me túeras” and “Serenata huasteca” – as the soul of the film.

During filming, Aguirre revealed that he had to slap Infante because he caught her without makeup. Born on September 25, 1930, she began her career with her sister Alma Rosa in a competition for the film The Strong Sex. Her father opposed it, but her mother supported her. He performed with great figures such as Joaquín Pardavé and Jorge Negrete.

Years later, retired from the media, Aguirre found a new passion in yoga. In 1973 he declared:

Time has taught me a lot. I have resisted moral blows, but in yoga I have reconciled myself.

The Miss Universe Mexico organization is preparing to crown its new queen. It will be on August 29 in Los Cabos, Baja California, where 32 candidates will compete for the title.

Fátima Bosch, current Miss Universe Mexico 2025, announced the venue this Wednesday. In an interview for the program “Sale el Sol”, the outgoing queen explained that the event will be full of surprises and will take place on the beaches of Los Cabos.

When announcing the venue, Bosch sent a message to the participants:

“The reality is not chasing a crown, it is seeking to become the woman who could hold it and who could do good things with it, because at the end of the day, what is measured is the impact of the lives that you can change, when you have the platform.”

Fátima added that she has not yet met the 32 candidates, but she will do so during the concentration prior to the final. He pointed out that several of them promote social projects that they will seek to strengthen with the title.

During the previous days, the candidates will participate in eliminatory activities: swimsuits, evening dresses, interviews with the judges and tours of emblematic sites in Los Cabos.

The winner will represent Mexico in Miss Universe, whose international pageant will be held at the end of the year.
