Spanish actor (although reportedly born in Puerto Rico) who relocated
to Mexico in 1946 and became a popular leading man opposite stars like
MarĂa FĂ©lix, MarĂa Antonieta Pons, and Gloria MarĂn. Calvo, the son of
well-known Spanish actor Juan Calvo, began working on the stage at the
age of 5. His Spanish film debut came in 1934, and in late 1945 he was
hired by Mexico producer Gregorio Walerstein to appear with MarĂa FĂ©lix
in La mujer de todos (1946). During the 1960s, Calvo returned to work
in the Spanish film industry, but came back to Mexico in the 1970s,
where he was a TV and stage regular and made occasional film
appearances. During the last few years of his life, Calvo was something
of a recluse, living in straitened circumstances in a Mexico City hotel
and spending his time writing and painting. He suffered from emphysema
and kidney trouble, and died of heart failure in July 1996.
