Fernando Fernández GómezOAXSMMT (28 August 1921 – 21 November 2007), better known asFernando Fernán Gómez, was a Spanish actor, screenwriter, film director, theater director, novelist, and playwright. Prolific and outstanding in all these fields, he was elected member of theRoyal Spanish Academy in 1998. He was born inLima, Peru while his mother, Spanish actress Carola Fernán-Gómez, was making a tour inLatin America. He would later use her surname for his stage name when he moved to Spain in 1924.
Fernán Gómez was regarded as one of Spain's most beloved and respected entertainers, winning twoSilver Bears for Best Actor at theBerlin International Film Festival forThe Anchorite andStico. He was also the recipient of thePrince of Asturias Award for the Arts, theNational Theater Award, theGold Medal of Merit in the Fine Arts, the Gold Medal of theSpanish Film Academy, and sixGoya Awards. He starred in 200 films between 1943 and 2006,[1] working with directors includingCarlos Saura (Ana and the Wolves,Mama Turns 100),Víctor Erice (The Spirit of the Beehive),Fernando Trueba (Belle Époque),José Luis Garci (The Grandfather),José Luis Cuerda (Butterfly's Tongue) andPedro Almodóvar (All About My Mother).
He directed over 25 films, among themEl extraño viaje (1964), andLife Goes On (1965), both great classics of theSpanish cinema that were very limited distribution due toFranco's censorship[2][3] and made him a "cursed" filmmaker in his country.[4] His filmVoyage to Nowhere (1986) earned critical acclaim, becoming the most awarded Spanish film at the1st Goya Awards ceremony.[5]
According to his memoir,[6] he was probably born in Lima on 28 August 1921, even though his birth certificate indicates that he was born in the Argentine capital,Buenos Aires. His mother, the theater actress Carola Fernán Gómez, was touringSouth America when he was born inLima, and his birth certificate was issued days later in Argentina, a country whose nationality he retained, in addition toSpanish nationality, which was granted to him in 1984. He was an extramarital son, his father was also the actorLuis Fernando Díaz de Mendoza y Guerrero, whose mother, the prominent theater actressMaría Guerrero, prevented the marriage between Fernando Fernán Gómez's parents.[7]
After some performing school works, he decided to study Philosophy and Letters in Madrid, which he subsequently abandoned when theSpanish Civil War began, but his true vocation led him to the theater. During the Civil War he received classes at theCNT School of Actors, making his professional debut in 1938 at theLaura Pinillos' [es] company.[8] There he was discovered by the Spanish playwrightEnrique Jardiel Poncela, who offered him his first major opportunity in 1941, the role as "Redhead" in the playWe Thieves Are Honourable.[9]
In 1943, Fernán Gómez joined the film studioCifesa and made his first movie appearance inCristina Guzmán, directed byGonzalo Delgrás.[10] Between the 1940s and 1960s, he established himself as a leading actor in the Spanish film industry, mostly in comic roles:El destino se disculpa (1945),Anchor Button (1948),The Last Horse (1950),I Want to Marry You (1951),Captain Poison (1951),The Pelegrín System (1952),That Happy Couple (1953),Airport (1953),The Other Life of Captain Contreras (1955),Faustina (1957), andLa becerrada (1963). He also revealed his ability to play drama inCarnival Sunday (1945),Life in Shadows (1948),Reckless (1951),The Tenant (1957), andRififi in the City (1964). During his career he occasionally play supporting roles in such foreign films asVoice of Silence (1953),The Bachelor (1955), starringAlberto Sordi,The Pyjama Girl Case (1977), withRay Milland, andMarcellino pane e vino [it] (1991).
In the 1950s he began to direct movies, earning a nomination for Best Film at theMar del Plata International Film Festival for his 1958 comedyLa vida por delante,[11] a story about the difficulties that a newly married couple has in moving forward with their housing, work and economic life. The film pioneered in Spain in breaking thefourth wall and telling the plot in the form offlashbacks[12] and its success led him to made a sequel,La vida alrededor (1959).[13] His first films tended to be humorous satires, includingThe Wicked Carabel (1956),For Men Only (1960), andDon Mendo's Revenge (1962). In 1964 he filmedEl extraño viaje, a dark portrait of Spanish rural repression.[14] It was voted seventh best Spanish film by professionals and critics in 1996 Spanish cinema centenary,[15] and included in aBritish Film Institute list published in 2016 by film directorPedro Almodóvar among the 13 great Spanish films that inspired him.[16] The latter was followed byLife Goes On (1965), one of the most terrifying and merciless moral portraits ofFrancoist Spain,[17][18]
He was very much in demand as an actor in the 1970s and 1980s, expanding his range in many films of the new Spanish cinema: starring alongsideGeraldine Chaplin inCarlos Saura'sAna and the Wolves (1973) and its sequelMama Turns 100 (1979),The Love of Captain Brando (1974),Pim, pam, pum... ¡fuego! (1975),The Remains from the Shipwreck (1978),Maravillas (1981),Feroz (1984),The Court of the Pharaoh (1985),Requiem for a Spanish Peasant (1985),Half of Heaven (1986),Moors and Christians (1987), and in the role asLeopoldo de Gregorio, 1st Marquess of Esquilache inEsquilache (1989). In 1973 he starred inVíctor Erice'sThe Spirit of the Beehive, reaching an international audience for his role as a mournful intellectual father who has a small beehive inside his house.[19][20] That same year he playedDon Quixote in the Spanish-Mexican comedyDon Quijote cabalga de nuevo, co-starringCantinflas asSancho Panza. In 1977, he won theSilver Bear for Best Actor at the27th Berlin International Film Festival for his role as a middle-aged man who decides one day to live in the bathroom and never leave it inThe Anchorite,[21] and again at the35th Berlin International Film Festival in 1985 for his role as a brokeRoman law professor who offers himself as a slave to an old student in exchange for house and food inStico.[22] He also won thePasinetti Prize [it] for Best Actor for his role in Carlos Saura's filmLos zancos at the 1984Venice Film Festival.[23]
He directed and starred in two notable productions forTelevisión Española: the fantasy TV movieJuan soldado [es], which he won the Grand Prix for Best Director at the9th International Television Festival Golden Prague in 1973,[24] and the 1974 miniseriesEl pícaro [es], a historical comedy set in the17th Century which was based on thepicaresque novel. As a filmmaker he made, among others,My Daughter Hildegart (1977), a film inspired in the life of Spanish activistHildegart Rodríguez Carballeira, which turned out to be a box office hit in Spain,[25]Mambru Went to War (1986), that gave him his firstGoya Award for Best Actor,[26]Voyage to Nowhere (1986), based on his own novel which describes a troupe of impoverished actors traipsing from village to village, achieving the Goya Awards forBest Film,Best Director andBest Adapted Screenplay in 1987,[27][28] andThe Sea and Time (1989), winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 1989San Sebastián International Film Festival.[29]
The 1990s was a less active acting period for him, but he enjoyed something of a revival, featuring in five major projects: the historical co-productionThe Dumbfounded King (1991), the two winners of theAcademy Award forBest Foreign Language FilmBelle Époque (1992) andAll About My Mother (1999),[30]The Grandfather (1998), which he won a secondGoya Award for Best Actor in 1999 for his praised role as Don Rodrigo, Count of Albrit, an old Spanish aristocrat,[31][32] and the hitButterfly's Tongue (1999), playing Don Gregorio, a republican schoolteacher. In between, he was part of the cast of the comedy showLos ladrones van a la oficina (The thieves go to the office, 1993–1996), awarded anOnda Award in 1993.[33]
In 1999 the San Sebastián International Film Festival granted to him theDonostia Award, which made him the first Spanish movie-maker to receive this distinction.[34]
In the 2000s he appeared inPlenilune (2000),Visionaries (2001), the popularprime time television seriesCuéntame cómo pasó (Remember When, 2001),The Shanghai Spell (2002),Tiovivo c. 1950 (2004), andSomething to Remember Me By (2005). One of his last great performances was in the filmIn the City Without Limits (2002), again with Geraldine Chaplin, where he plays a dying man who suffered fearful delusions.[35] The last film he directed wasLázaro de Tormes (2001), from which he received his second Goya Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.[36]
In 2005 he was awarded with theHonorary Golden Bear at the55th Berlin International Film Festival for his lifetime achievement.[37][38]
In addition to his extensive career in front and behind the screen, Fernán Gómez wrote numerous stage plays, novels, memoirs, articles, and poems. The most successful was the playLas bicicletas son para el verano (Bicycles Are for the Summer) in 1977,[39] showing the sufferings of a family and their neighbours in besieged Madrid during the Civil War. He won theLope de Vega Prize [es] for that work in 1978,[40] and it has been adapted into apopular film in 1984, directed byJaime Chávarri.
As theater director he staged plays such asDear Liar (1962), byBernard Shaw;The Kreutzer Sonata (1963), byLeo Tolstoy;Thought (1963), byLeonid Andreyev; andJuan José Alonso Millán's [es] comediesGravemente peligrosa (1962),Mayores con reparos (1965) andLa vil seducción (1967).[41]
He was runner up of thePremio Planeta de Novela for his 1987 historical novelEl mal amor.[42] In 1993 he won thePremio de Novela Espasa-Humor for his comedy novelEl ascensor de los borrachos.[43]
On October 27, 1995, he received thePrince of Asturias Award for the Arts from the hands ofPrince Felipe.[44] In 1998 he published his memoir titledEl Tiempo Amarillo: memorias ampliadas (1921-1997). The work has 700 pages and was presented at theCírculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid.[45]
On January 30, 2000, he entered theRoyal Spanish Academy for his artistic accomplishments, where he took possession of SeatB with the speech titled "Aventura de la palabra en el siglo xx".[46]
He married the Spanish actress and singerMaría Dolores Pradera in 1945, with whom he had a daughter, the actress Helena Fernán Gómez, and a son, Fernando. They divorced in 1957. Later then, he had a long relationship with actressEmma Cohen, marrying in 2000.[47]
Fernando Fernán Gómez died inMadrid on 21 November 2007 from aheart failure aggravated bypneumonia andcolon cancer.[48] On 19 November 2007, he was admitted to the Oncology area of theMadrid University Hospital La Paz to be treated for pneumonia.Carmen Caffarel, head of theInstituto Cervantes, said "We've lost the great man of Spanish theater and film of the second half of the 20th century".[49]
Pedro Almodóvar highlighted him as "an artist who represents the history of Spanish cinema from its beginnings to the present day." The "excellence" in all his work, Almodóvar noted, was felt in his work as an actor: "He made the difficult as easy as possible, thanks to limitless versatility". That made him capable of "going fromDon Mendo's Revenge onBertolt Brecht". But he was also an "essential director in both film and theater", to the point of being "a complete and irreplaceable artist." "With delightful comedies such asLa vida por delante andLa vida alrededor, or the very scathing and masterpieceEl extraño viaje". Concluding "I will always remember him, and I will continue watching his films".[50]
After the President of the GovernmentJosé Luis Rodríguez Zapatero announced the death of the actor, theGovernment of Spain posthumously awarded Fernán Gómez the Grand Cross of theCivil Order of Alfonso X, the Wise on 23 November.[51] The mayor of Madrid,Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón, also announced that the Cultural Center of the Villa deMadrid would be renamed theFernán Gómez Theater.[52] As he was a lifelonganarchist, his coffin was covered in ablack and red anarchist flag and was later cremated in theAlmudena Cemetery in Madrid.[53]
In 2017, in commemoration of the 10 years since his death, the exhibitionFernando Fernán Gómez “El Ilustrado” was inaugurated by the graphic artists of the Association of Cadiz Illustrators at theUniversity of Cádiz.[54]
On 3 March 2022, the Instituto Cervantes received the “in memoriam” legacy of Fernán Gómez: his 1938CNT card and the pen that was given to him when he entered theRoyal Spanish Academy in 2000. The legacy was introduced into Box number 1003 of theCaja de las Letras by Fernán-Gómez's granddaughter,Helena de Llanos.[55][56]
In 2023, the Spanish Government acquired the archive of Fernando Fernán Gómez and his wife Emma Cohen, which is made up of 250 boxes and other objects that are already kept in the facilities of theFilmoteca Española, entity dependent on theInstitute of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts (ICAA).[57]
