Ana Martín

Ana Beatriz Martínez Solórzano (born 14 May 1945), known professionally as Ana Martín, is a Mexican actress and model. She is one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Mexican cinema.

She won the Miss Mexico title in 1963, which took her to compete in Miss World 1963 in London, where she was disqualified for being underage. Since 1965 she has appeared in numerous telenovelas and films.

Early life and career

Born Ana Beatriz Martínez Solórzano to famous comedian Jesús Martínez 'Palillo', and his Nicaraguan wife, Hilda Solórzano, Ana Martín became known to the public in the first half of the 1960s after winning the title of Miss Mexico and starring in popular movies alongside some of the biggest young actors of the time, including César Costa and Fernando Luján, as well as American stars Robert Taylor and Chad Everett (in '' Return of the Gunfighter'').

After playing supporting roles in various telenovelas, Martín won her first leading role as Laura in ''Muchacha de barrio'' in 1979. That same year, she played the leading role in ''La llama de tu amor''.

In 1982, she starred in the successful ''Gabriel y Gabriela'', in which she played a young woman trying to pass as a man. She also sang the theme song and released an album. Martín stated in an interview for the TV program ''Vidas Paralelas'' in 2010 that she was not a singer and has never recorded any album. She said that the song in this telenovela was done by special effects.

After ''La pasión de Isabela'' in 1984 and '' El pecado de Oyuki'' in 1986, Martín largely retired from the public view. In 1996, she made a welcome return to the small screen and has remained very active, with credits in telenovelas such as ''Alma Rebelde'', '' Amor Real'', '' Rubí'', '' La Madrastra'', '' Duelo de Pasiones'', '' Un gancho al corazon'', ''Mañana es para siempre'', '' Soy Tu Dueña'' with '' La que no podia amar'' and currently taping in ''Amores verdaderos''. In 2009 he made a small appearance in Los exitosos Pérez alongside Jaime Camil, Ludwika Paleta, Rogelio Guerra, Verónica Castro and José Ron.
