Biography
From a family of artists, Marissa Garrido was born in
dubbing
.
As a child, Garrido was interested in the arts and studied piano. She was a student at the
San Ildefonso College. She soon became interested in writing radionovelas for XEX-AM and thereafter, she changed the direction of her life. Her mother, Carmen, tried to discourage Garrido and her sisters from joining this artistic environment because it did not offer a stable job, being an activity that today is known as freelancer.[2]
Garrido died in Mexico City from a severe respiratory complication caused by COVID-19 on January 8, 2021, at the age of 94.[3]
