Josefina Pellicer Lopez Llergo

5′ 1″ (1,55 m)

Sister of Pilar Pellicer.

In 1959, Ismael Rodríguez offered Pellicer the leading female role in El hombre de papel (1963). She was already a sought-after actress at the time and reportedly asked for a high salary in order to work for the famous Mexican director.

She won two Cuauhtémoc Awards for her performances in Macario (1960) and Días de otoño (1963). The Cuauhtémoc Award was an accolade presented by the Mexican Association of Film Journalists and Writers (Asociación Mexicana de Periodistas y Escritores Cinematográficos).

In 1960, José Bolaños wrote a script called "La soldadera" and said he thought Pellicer was the only actress who completely looked like the title character of his story. Unfortunately, she died before the film was made. When production finally began on La soldadera (1966), the part of Lázara was given to Silvia Pinal.

The noted Mexican poet Carlos Pellicer was her father's first cousin.

[on La vengeance aux deux visages (1961)] I think it is wonderful, and all the credit must go to Marlon's direction. Think what he did. Besides himself, only Karl Malden and Katy Jurado were experienced performers. He had to help the rest of us along.

Beings like me should have the freedom to die at the moment sadness began to invade them because beings like me are weak beings, incapable of saying no to sadness, no to life, we let ourselves go, we let ourselves live , we let ourselves die from sadness.
