Biography

Delia Amadora García

Nury Montsé, Fanny Navarro, and Malisa Zini.[1] Students received a small monthly stipend and participated in plays to hone their skills many taking pseudonyms. Between the performances of Mandinga en la sierra and Cyrano de Bergerac, María Luisa Zambrini became Malisa Sambrini and Delia Gerbolés became Delia Garcés.[4] One of her teachers, Cunil Cabanillas, gave her her first professional role in a small part of the 1936 production of Locos de verano, a play written by Gregorio de Laferrère.[5]

Doce mujeres (1939), and La vida de Carlos Gardel (1939),[7] with Hugo del Carril and Elsa O'Connor[8] under the direction of Alberto de Zavalía, who she would soon marry.[9] Almost from the beginning, her acting persona was of a naïve heroine, an elfin beauty, who appeared fragile, but had a touch of impishness that portrayed strength and daring.[10]

De Zavalía made eleven films with Garcés

Premios Sur for Best Actress from the Argentine Academy of Cinematography Arts and Sciences for Veinte años y una noche[13] and repeated the award in 1942 for Malambo,[14] which was presented by Orson Welles.[7]

Garcés starred in "La maestrita de los obreros"

Premios Sur Best Actress award from the Argentine Academy of Cinematography Arts and Sciences in 1945.[17]

That same year, Garcés formed her own theatrical company and in March premiered the first play of

El hombre que amé (1947)[11] and in 1948, she performed in the play El otro yo de Marcela which was so successful that it led to a film by the same name two years later,[20] in which she sang and danced.[11]

Delia Garcés by Annemarie Heinrich, 1942

In 1951, Garcés and de Zavalía went to Mexico and she made one of her most memorable films there in 1951[2]-1952. In Él directed by Luis Buñuel,[22] she played Gloria, the wife of the jealous and paranoid Francisco, played by Arthur Cordova. The film, though released in Mexico in 1953[2] and presented at the 1953 Cannes Film Festival,[23][24] was not released in Argentina until 1958.[2] Almost immediately, in March, 1953, she began work on Lágrimas robadas in Mexico with Andrea Palma under the direction of Julián Soler.[25]

Garcés then did a tour of Latin America which included Chile, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela and Puerto Rico covering the plays Casa de muñecas, Leocadia, Nina, Tesá, La voz de la tórtola, El balcón de Julieta all with her husband, and La llave en el desván by Alejandro Casona, before arriving in Spain.[26] She began filming Rebeldía under the direction of José Antonio Nieves Conde which was based on the play La luz de la víspera by José María Pemán.[27]

In 1955, they were able to return to Argentina and Garcés starred in Mi marido y mi novio, directed by Carlos Schlieper. The film was forward-thinking for the times, with Garcés poking fun at gender stereotypes and singing of women being as free as men.[7] She made her last film, Alejandra in 1956 for which she won the Argentine Film Critics Association's Silver Condor Award for Best Actress.[28]

In 1958, she and de Zavalía had a season at the National Theater of Paris, performing as the Buenos Aires Theater Company in the production of La Carroza de San Sacramento by Prosper Mérimée and El Límite by de Zavalía.[29] That same year, she starred in a television series on Channel 9, Lo mejor de nuestra vida, nuestros hijos, directed by Alberto Migré based on stories by Julio César Barton.[30] She and her husband also performed at the Teatro Nacional Cervantes in both 1958 and 1959, completing No es cordero... que es cordera and then doing several guest appearances the following year.[31] In 1961, Garcés starred in La doncella prodigiosa, a play by her husband, de Zavalía at the Teatro Nacional Cervantes under the direction of Fernando Labat.[32]

Enrique Alvarez Diosdado – Delia Garcés – La dama duende (1944)

From 1960 on, Garcés dedicated herself launching the Teatro San Martín.[1] She had memorable performances in Ondine by Jean Giraudoux; Saint Joan by George Bernard Shaw; The Living Room by Graham Greene; The Turn of the Screw by Henry James;[11][33] and the 1966 production of El jardín de los cerezos (The Cherry Orchard) by Anton Chekhov which was her last performance before she retired[2] to care for her husband through his last long final illness.[7] She may also have been prevented from performing, as her name appeared on the list of banned artists during the 1979 dictatorship.[34] She appeared briefly in a tribute that Mirtha Legrand did for Channel 9 on the death of Daniel Tinayre.[3][35]

She joined the board of the National Endowment for the Arts and worked with them throughout her retirement.[11][33] In 1982, she received the Premios Leopoldo Torre Nilsson[36] In 1995, she received the Premio Pablo Podestá[37] and a room at the Tita Merello Complex on Suipacha Street was named in her honor by the Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts to acknowledge her stature in Argentine film.[3][38] On 29 October 2001 she won the first ACE Platinum Lifetime Achievement Award ever presented by the Asociación de Cronistas del Espectáculo (Association of reporters of Show Business)[11]

Garcés died on 7 November 2001 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[2]
