Lautaro Murúa
Lautaro Murúa (; 29 December 1926 – 3 December 1995) was a Chilean-Argentine actor, film director, and screenwriter. He is considered one of the most recognized figures in Argentine cinema. Born in Tacna, Chile (now part of Peru), Murúa moved to Argentina in the early 1950s. Before entering the film industry, he studied architecture and fine arts. Although best known for his work as an actor—appearing in over 80 films between 1949 and 1995—he also directed several notable films, including '' Shunko'', '' Alias Gardelito'', and '' La Raulito'', which often addressed social issues. Murúa was an active participant in the revival of Argentine cinema during the 1960s, working with directors such as Leopoldo Torre Nilsson, Rodolfo Kuhn, Manuel Antín, and David José Kohon. In the 1970s, he relocated to Spain but returned periodically to Argentina to continue working in film. He died of lung cancer in Madrid in 1995.
