María Luisa Aragón

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

María Luisa Aragón (died February 11, 1974)[1] was a Guatemalan playwright, actress, and radio producer.

Aragon was a native of Guatemala City;[2] her date of birth is given in various sources as 1897,[3] 1899,[4][5] or 1910.[6] She joined the Grupo Artístico Nacional in 1918; in 1945 she ceased stage activity and turned instead to the radio, broadcasting a program entitled Radioteatro Infantil, La voz de Guatemala. Other programs which she produced or created include Milagroso Señor de Esquipulas and El precio de una honra, both for Radio Reloj; with Armando Moreno Morales she developed El Tribunal de la Alegria and La Tremenda Corte. She also wrote numerous works for the stage;[3] although theatrical performances were significantly curtailed under the dictatorship of Jorge Ubico, plays such as hers and those of Manuel Galich were encouraged.[7] Continuing her acting career, Aragón toured with a variety of foreign theatrical troupes; on film she was seen in El Sombrerón and Cuando vuelvas a mí, and she appeared on television as well. She received the Quetzal de Oro from the Asociación de Periodistas de Guatemala in 1961, and she was made a member of the Order of the Quetzal by the government of Guatemala.[3]
