        In addition to her film career, Pinal pioneered musical theatre in Mexico,[7] ventured into television, and held political office charges.

        Early life

        Silvia Pinal Hidalgo[1] was born in Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico on 12 September 1931. Her parents were María Luisa Hidalgo Aguilar and Moisés Pasquel. Pasquel was an orchestra conductor at the Mexican radio station XEW. Pinal's mother became pregnant with Pasquel when she was 15 years old. Her father did not recognize her, and Pinal did not know him until she was 11.[8] On the part of her biological father, Pinal had three more brothers: Eugenio, Moisés, and Virginia. However, Pinal never spent time with the Pasquel family.[9] Pinal spent her first years behind the counter of a seafood restaurant near the XEW, where her mother worked. When Pinal was five years old, her mother married Luis G. Pinal, whom they called "El Caballero Pinal", a journalist, military man, and politician twenty years her senior. Pinal adopted Silvia as his daughter. In later interviews, she asserted him as her only father. Pinal had three daughters from a previous marriage: Mercedes, Beatriz, and Eugenia.

        Pinal held several public positions in Mexico, including the municipal president of Tequisquiapan, Querétaro. The family lived in several cities in Mexico including Querétaro, Acapulco, Monterrey, Chilpancingo, Cuernavaca and Puebla, before finally settling in Mexico City.

        Pinal has been fascinated by show business since she was a child. In addition to film and music, she liked to write and recite poems.[10] She studied first at Pestalozzi College in Cuernavaca and then at the Washington Institute in Mexico City. Despite her artistic aspirations, her father conditioned her to study "something useful," so she learned typing. At age 14, she began working at Kodak as a secretary.[11]

        Pinal wanted to study opera and began to prepare by taking classes with a private teacher and then with Professor Reyes Retana. Her first step toward fame occurred when she was invited to participate in a beauty pageant. In this contest, Pinal obtained the title of Student Princess of Mexico. At her coronation, she met the actors Rubén Rojo and Manolo Fábregas, with whom she became close friends.[12] While studying bel canto, Pinal went to work as a secretary in the pharmaceutical laboratories of Carlos Stein. At the music academy, Pinal auditioned for a role in the opera La Traviata. However, the audition was a failure. A teacher encouraged her to take acting courses at the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes where she was a classmate of figures such as Carlos Pellicer, Salvador Novo and Xavier Villaurrutia.[13] She debuted as an extra in a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare.[14]

        Career

        Beginning

        Pinal continued working in the advertising department of a pharmaceutical products firm. Knowing that she was studying acting, her boss allowed her to participate in recording radio comedies in the XEQ. She debuted in the comedy Dos pesos la dejada.[14]

        At the radio station, Pinal met publicists who invited her to become part of an experimental company. With that company, she made her debut in the play Los Caprichos de Goya. The director of this work was the Mexican actor and director of Cuban origin Rafael Banquells, with whom Pinal began an employment relationship and a close friendship that led to romance. Rafael Banquells got the master Carlos Laverne to allow them to use the Ideal Theater of Mexico City for their productions. Laverne chose Pinal to participate in a montage with the company of the Ideal Theater, directed by the Spanish actress Isabelita Blanch. The work was called Nuestra Natacha. Pinal acted in numerous works for this company. Her first star work was Un sueño de cristal.[15]

        Film

        Just fifteen days after she debuted in the theater, Pinal made her debut in the cinema with a brief role in Bamba (1949), starring Carmen Montejo and directed by Miguel Contreras Torres. Contreras Torres had seen her work at the Ideal Theatre and invited her to participate in the project. Contreras Torres was a tough and strict director who made Pinal suffer for her inexperience. Eventually, that same year, she performed in the film El pecado de Laura, directed by Julián Soler and starring Meche Barba. In that film, she worked for the first time in cinema with Rafael Banquells, who was already her husband at that time. Immediately she made another small role in the film Escuela para casadas, by Miguel Zacarías. Pinal met and worked for the first time with the popular actor and singer Pedro Infante in the film La mujer que yo perdí. The actor and comedian Cantinflas (her wedding godfather) chose Pinal as his co-star in The Doorman (1950), which was a massive step for the young and new actress. But her first solid step towards popularity was her participation in the comedy El rey del barrio (1949), where she formed a great comedic pair with Germán Valdés "Tin-Tán", directed by Gilberto Martínez Solares. Pinal and Tin Tán acted together in two more films: La marca del zorrillo (1950) and Me traes de un ala (1952). Pinal participated in minor roles in several more films.

        Pinal received her first significant recognition, her first Silver Ariel Award as a co-starring actress, for her performance in the film Un rincón cerca del cielo (1952), where she worked again with Pedro Infante. In 1952, she performed with Joaquín Pardavé in the comedies Doña Mariquita de mi corazón] and El casto Susano.

        In 1953, Pinal signed a contract with the FILMEX studios of Gregorio Walerstein, who gave her first stellar works in the films Reventa de esclavas (1953) and Yo soy muy macho (1953). In that same year, she did her first musical work with the film Mis tres viudas alegres, where she shared credits with Lilia del Valle and the Cuban rumbera Amalia Aguilar. The film's success led the three actresses to star, that same year, in the comedy Las cariñosas. In that same year, she acted with Libertad Lamarque in Si volvieras a mí.

        Pinal achieved success and recognition in 1954 after participating in the film Un extraño en la escalera, directed by Tulio Demicheli, and starring opposite Arturo de Córdova. De Córdova wanted as his co-stars the Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida or the Cuban rumbera Rosa Carmina, because he distrusted Pinal due to her youth. With the support of the producer Gregorio Walerstein, Pinal made a change of image, highlighting her sex appeal, which helped her to be approved by De Cordova for the film. The film was filmed in Havana, Cuba, and it was a remarkable blockbuster, which consecrates Pinal as the first figure in the cinema.[16]

        Another director who knew how to make the most of Pinal's histrionic abilities was Alberto Gout. Under the baton of Gout, Pinal made the film La sospechosa (1954). Another great movie in which Pinal participates is Historia de un abrigo de mink (1954), an episodic film in that Pinal co-stars with the actresses María Elena Marqués, Columba Domínguez and Irasema Dilián. With Tito Davison as director, Pinal also filmed the Mexican-Spanish-Chilean co-production Cabo de Hornos (1955), along with the actor Jorge Mistral. Pinal worked again with Pedro Infante as his co-star in the famous comedy El inocente (1955).

        Pinal starred in several films by Tulio Demicheli. Among the most outstanding is Locura pasional (1955), which would bring her first Silver Ariel award as best actress. The second was thanks to her role in the film La dulce enemiga (1957), directed by Tito Davison. In 1956, Pinal starred in the film Una cita de amor (1956), where she worked for the first and only time under the direction of the director Emilio Fernández.

        The popularity and success of Pinal in Mexico opened the doors for her to work in Europe. following the advice of Tulio Demicheli. Her first work in the Old Continent is in the Spanish-Mexican co-production Las locuras de Bárbara (1958), directed by Demicheli. From the hand of Demicheli Silvia starred in Spain the musical film Charleston.

        Pinal with Elke Sommer in Uomini e Nobiluomini (1959)

        Given the success of her films in Europe, Pinal was invited to work in Italy, where she also served as producer of the film Uomini e Nobiluomini (1959), in which she starred next to Vittorio de Sica and Elke Sommer.

        Under the direction of José María Forqué, Pinal starred in Spain in the film Maribel y la extraña familia (1960). In 1961 she filmed the Spanish musical film Adiós, Mimí Pompom, next to Fernando Fernán Gómez.

        Pinal achieved international acclaim through a trilogy of films that marked the end of the Mexican era of the Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel. Pinal had her first contact with Buñuel through Mexican actor Ernesto Alonso, with the firm intention of starring in the film version of the novel Tristana. However, the tiny commercial success of Buñuel's films prevented the producers from financing the project, which ended up collapsing (Buñuel filmed the film years later in Spain with Catherine Deneuve).[17]

        Pinal in Viridiana (1961)

        Years later, Pinal, with the help of her second husband, producer Gustavo Alatriste, looked for Buñuel in Spain and convinced him to film Viridiana (1961). This, without a doubt, is her most famous film. She was co-starred by Francisco Rabal and Fernando Rey and was the winner of the Palme d'Or at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. Despite the success and prestige enjoyed by the film, it was rejected by the Spanish censorship and the Vatican at the time, accusing it of blasphemy. The Spanish government ordered its destruction. The film was saved through the intervention of Pinal, who fled with a copy to Mexico.[18] In Mexico, Vatican censorship also resonated. However, with the help of Salvador Novo, the film premiered in some rooms.

        Her second film with Buñuel was El ángel exterminador (1962), in which Pinal starred with a choral cast. The film also received critical acclaim worldwide. In 2004, the New York Times recognized it among the best films of all time.[19]

        Her third and last project with Buñuel was Simón del desierto (1964). The film, misrepresented as a medium-length film, was initially conceived as an episodic film. Pinal and Gustavo Alatriste looked for Federico Fellini to direct a second episode, but Fellini accepted with the condition that his wife, Giulietta Masina, starred in it. Jules Dassin wwas then sought, who likewise took on the condition that it was starred by his wife, Melina Mercouri. Pinal also rejected this request. The idea was that Pinal starred in all the film episodes, so the project ended up filming only with Buñuel.[20] In the film, Pinal also made the first nude appearance of her career, something still rare in Mexican cinema and the first naked scenes of Buñuel's cinema.[21]

        Pinal was also on the verge of starring with Buñuel in the film Diary of a Chambermaid in France. Pinal learned French and was willing to charge nothing for her participation. However, the French producer Serge Silberman ended up choosing Jeanne Moreau.[22] Even so, Pinal (along with Lilia Prado), the actress with whom Buñuel worked the most, made three classic films. Pinal was also going to shoot with Buñuel in Spain on Divinas palabras, but copyrights had problems. Years later, Pinal finally did it in Mexico with another director.

        After her work with Buñuel, Pinal returned to the cinema with the comedy Buenas noches, Año Nuevo (1965), where she alternated with Ricardo Montalbán. In 1966 she made the mythical film La soldadera, directed by José Bolaños and inspired by the events of the Mexican Revolution. That same year, she participated in the Mexican-Brazilian co-production Juego peligroso, directed by Luis Alcoriza and based on a script by Gabriel García Márquez. She also appeared in the Franco-Italian-Mexican co-production La bataille de san sebastian, along with Anthony Quinn and Charles Bronson. In 1967 Pinal films Shark!, with Burt Reynolds and directed by Samuel Fuller, making this the only Hollywood production in which Pinal has appeared. Pinal achieved a huge blockbuster with the film María Isabel (1968), based on a popular cartoon by Yolanda Vargas Dulché.

        Between the late 1960s and early 1970s, Pinal mainly made comic films directed by the filmmaker René Cardona Jr. In 1976, Pinal starred in Las mariposas disecadas, a thriller of psychological suspense. In 1977 she finally starred in the controversial film Divinas palabras (1977), directed by Juan Ibáñez, a film where she made an integral nude scene.

        At the end of the seventies and the beginning of the eighties, Pinal filmed some films in Spain, Italy and Argentina as part of a project by Televisa to unify the Spanish and Latin American markets.

        Silvia Pinal in 2019

        After ten years of absence from the cinema, Pinal returned in 1992 with the tape Modelo antiguo, directed by Raúl Araiza. The decline of Mexican cinema and the activity of Pinal on television and other media (such as politics) made her practically withdraw from the big screen. In recent years, her film appearances have been limited to films Ya no los hacen como antes (2002) and a brief special appearance in Tercera llamada (2013).

        Stage

        Pinal made her debut at the theater in the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes. Eventually, she did experimental plays, to then work at the Ideal Theater in Mexico City, in the Spanish actress Isabelita Blanch's company, where she was directed in numerous productions by Rafael Banquells.

Under the baton of Ibañez, Pinal starred in the work Vidas privadas. One of her most notable works in musical comedy was the Mexican version of Mame, a successful Broadway musical, which, thanks to her success, Pinal rode three times (1972, 1985 and 1989). In 1976 he also starred in the musical Annie Get Your Gun.

        In 1977, to commemorate her twenty-five-year career, Pinal set up her cabaret show entitled ¡Felicidades Silvia!. The show was presented with great success, first at the nightclub El Patio, and then at the Teatro de la Ciudad in Mexico City.

        In 1978, she starred in the musical Plaza Suite.

In 1985, while serving as First Lady of the state of Tlaxcala, Pinal remodelled the Xicohténcatl Theater, which reopened with the assembly The memories of the Divine Sarah. In 1986, Pinal starred in the work Anna Karenina, which despite the success obtained, was not to the liking of the actress, and the assembly only reached 100 performances.

        In 1988, in association with Margarita López Portillo, Pinal acquired the Cine Estadio, located in Colonia Roma in Mexico City, transforming it into its theatrical venue, the Silvia Pinal Theater, a space dedicated mainly to musical comedy. Pinal was free to set up her productions.[25] The theater was inaugurated in 1989 with the third representation of the musical Mame, with Pinal at the head of the cast.

        As a producer, she was responsible for making the Mexican versions of the musicals A Chorus Line (1989), Cats (1991) and La Cage aux Folles (1992). Unfortunately, several problems caused Pinal to close the Silvia Pinal Theater, which stopped functioning in 2000 to become a religious temple.

        Pinal returned to the theater in 2002 with the play Debiera haber obispas. In recent dates she has also participated in productions such as Adorables enemigas (2008) and Amor, dolor y lo que puesto (2012).

        Television

        Pinal dabbled in television since its appearance in Mexico in the early 1950s. In 1952, she participated in her television show titled Con los brazos abiertos. Eventually, she participated in numerous telecasts produced by Luis de Llano Palmer. That's where Pinal first introduced the use of playback on Mexican television.[27]

        In the mid-sixties, Pinal staged her comic-musical show on Televisa, Los especiales de Silvia Pinal. When Silvia married the actor and singer Enrique Guzmán, both produced and starred in the variety show Silvia y Enrique (a comedy-musical program in the style of The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour), which presented for four years (1968–1972) with great success. Once separated from Guzmán, Silvia continued with her variety show titled ¡Ahora Silvia!!.

        In 1985, she became a producer and presenter of Mujer, casos de la vida real TV show. Initially, the show was created to respond to cases and needs of the public and focused on locating victims of the 1985 earthquake in Mexico City. Over time, the show evolved to present current issues and daily life, including domestic violence, legal issues and public health. This production was a success and lasted more than 20 years, transmitting in Mexico, Spain, Italy and several countries in Latin America. The program was cancelled in 2007.

        In 2009 Pinal also participated in a chapter of the series Mujeres asesinas.

        In addition to the telenovelas mentioned above she starred, Pinal also produced the melodramas Cuando los hijos van (1983) and Tiempo de amar (1987).

        Politics

        Pinal dabbled in the world of politics due to her fourth marriage with the politician Tulio Hernández Gómez, governor of the State of Tlaxcala. Between 1981 and 1987, Pinal was the First Lady of that state. Eventually, she became a member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party and was elected federal deputy in 1991.[28] Later, she became a senator and member of the Asamblea de Representantes del Federal District. In these positions, Pinal had some achievements. Among the most outstanding are to achieve that the Cinematographic Law contemplate the right of an interpreter, worked on the Law of Condominiums and the Law of Tourism, did tasks in favour of ecology, promoted the dissemination of theater books and fought for the Ministry of Finance to lower taxes on the theater.[29]

        Since the fifties, Pinal actively participated in trade union movements of the actors of his country. She was part of the group "Rosa Mexicano", founded by Dolores del Río. Between 1988 and 1995, Pinal became a leader of the National Association of Interpreters (A.N.D.I.) of Mexico.

        Pinal had problems with justice in the year 2000 due to problems in her management as leader of the Association of Theater Producers (Protea) in the early 1990s.

        Personal life
        Pinal, c. 1955

        Pinal has been married four times. Her first marriage was with the actor and director Rafael Banquells, who was her first formal boyfriend. Pinal married Banquells in 1947. She acknowledges that her marriage at such an early age was partly due to escape from her father's repression: "I changed my father for a softer one that stimulated me in my career." The couple divorced in 1952, a year after the birth of their daughter, Sylvia Pasquel, who later had an outstanding career as an actress.[29]

        Her second marriage was with the businessman and film producer Gustavo Alatriste. Pinal has revealed on numerous occasions that Alatriste was the love of her life, a husband with whom she could have stayed forever. Pinal met Alatriste at a meeting at Ernesto Alonso's house when he was about to divorce the actress Ariadne Welter. It was thanks to Alatriste that Pinal was able to make her film projects with Luis Buñuel. The marriage ended in 1967 due to Alatriste's infidelities and business problems between the couple.[15] From her relationship with Alatriste, she had a daughter, actress Viridiana Alatriste (1963-1982). Unfortunately, Viridiana died tragically in a car accident in Mexico City in 1982, only 19 years old.[24]

        Her third marriage was with Rock and roll's famous singer and idol Enrique Guzmán. Pinal and Guzmán met when he came as a guest on Pinal's television show ¡Ahora Silvia! Pinal and Guzmán were married in 1967 despite some resistance from Pinal being 11 years older than her husband. Their marriage lasted nine years. They worked together and procreated two children: the famous singer Alejandra Guzmán (born in 1968) and the musician and composer Luis Enrique Guzmán (born in 1970).[32]

        Her last marriage was with the politician and then governor of the state of Tlaxcala, Tulio Hernández Gómez. The couple married in 1982. It was through Hernández that Pinal entered the world of politics. Pinal and Hernandez divorced in 1995.

        In addition to her marriages, at various times in her life, Pinal held multiple romances. In 1954, when filming Un extraño en la escalera, Pinal fell in love with her co-star, Arturo de Córdova.[5] Others of her romances were with the Mexican businessman Emilio Azcárraga Milmo,[6] the Egyptian actor Omar Sharif[7] and the American businessman Conrad Nicholson Hilton, Jr.[33]

        With time, Pinal has become the head of one of Latin America's most famous artistic dynasties. Her daughters Sylvia and Viridiana followed in her footsteps as an actress. Alejandra, the youngest of her daughters, is one of Mexico's most popular singers. Alejandra's daughter Frida Sofía is also a model living in Miami, Fl. In addition, her granddaughter Stephanie Salas (daughter of Sylvia) has also forged a career as an actress and singer. Stephanie's daughters, Michelle Salas and Camila Valero are both models and actresses.[34]
