Evita Muñoz was born on November 26th, 1936, in Orizaba, Veracruz,
Mexico. Before she was 4 years old, she was in front of the cameras
already making _El Secreto del Sacerdote_ with
Pedro ArmendĂĄriz. It was in her
second film,
ÂĄAy Jalisco... no te rajes! (1941) with
Jorge Negrete, that she was given the nickname of
"Chachita". From then on, she became the star of her own movies, like
Morenita clara (1943) and
La hija del payaso (1946). When she was a teenager, she stared in the biggest
grossing and still most popular trilogy of the Golden Age of Mexican
Cinema: _Nosotros los pobres (1948)_, _Ustedes los ricos (1948)_, and
Pepe El Toro (1953), sharing credits with
Pedro Infante.
Her ongoing career spans over 40 classic films during 60 years as a
wonderfully complete actress, star, idol and has made her a living
legend in her own time, as the sole survivor of the Golden Age of
Mexican Movies.
