Biography

Gloria Guzmán was born on 15 April 1902 (or possibly 1894) in Vitoria, Alava, Spain.[1] She arrived in Argentina in 1924 with a zarzuela company and had her debut in the play Las camisas negras.[2] By 1926, she was dubbed as one of the three great "Bataclanas" (showgirls)of the Maipo Theater along with Carmen Lamas and Iris Marga.[3]

In 1931, she began making films debuting in Luces de Buenos Aires with Sofía Bozán and Pedro Quartucci.[4] That same year, she starred in Un caballero de frac directed by Roger Capellani and Carlos San Martín with Roberto Rey and Rosita Díaz Gimeno.[5]

In 1936, she filmed Radio Bar directed by Manuel Romero with starring alongside Olinda Bozán and Carmen Lamas.[6] Cuatro corazones (1939) directed by Miguel Gómez Bao and Carlos Schliepper paired her with Irma Córdoba, Herminia Franco and Eduardo Sandrini.[7]

Guzmán had her own theater company sometimes working alone as "Compañia Argentina de Comedia Gloria Guzmán" as she did for the 1941 staging of “Julio Sandoval candidato a concejal” by Armando Moock[8] and sometimes in tandem with others. In 1945, her "Compañía de Gloria Guzmán y Juan Carlos Thorry" put on three plays: “No salgas esta noche” by Sixto Pondal Ríos and Carlos Olivari, “Mi Amor es un león” by Lazlo Fodor, and “Los maridos engañan de 7 a 9” by Ríos and Olivari.[9] The following season she and Thorry went on the road touring in Mexico[10] and then Spain through the end of 1947.[11]

In 1954, she returned to film, starring in Tren internacional directed by Daniel Tinayre with Mirtha Legrand and Alberto Closas[12] and the following year Guzmán made Pájaros de cristal under the direction of Ernesto Arancibia with Mecha Ortiz and Alba Arnova.[13]

Guzman filmed two films in the 1960s: Yo quiero vivir contigo (1960)[14] and María M. (1964)[15] and her last two films in the 1970s: Disputas en la cama (1972)[16] and La conquista del paraíso which was filmed in 1979 and 1980 released in 1981, after Guzmán's death.[17]
