Mónica Miguel (bornGloria Chávez Miguel; 13 March 1936 – 12 August 2020) was a Mexican actress, director, and singer.[3]
Passionate about the arts and especially the theater, she would attend the occasional stage plays that came to Tepic. She joined a performance troupe that was supported by the local administration, but that support came to an end when the administration changed hands.[citation needed]
In pursuit of her artistic dreams on the stage, she traveled to Mexico City. She studied theater at the academy of theAsociación Nacional de Actores. Encouraged by colleagues, she traveled to Japan and then Italy, where she worked in film, theater, and television. There she recorded her first album. Her eight-year stay in Rome gave her maturity as a human being and as an artist. She gave recitals in Greece, Cyprus, and England.[citation needed]
After her return to Mexico, for her performances at the Insurgentes theater, in the worksVine, ví y mejor me fuí andLa maestra bebe un poco,[4] she received an award from the Unión de cronistas de Teatro (Union of Theater Critics). In 1981 she performed in "The Merry Wives of Windsor" together with Alfredo Sevilla, and Tara Parra Chela Nájera among others. In 1981, the Mexican Association of Theater Critics named her best actress and singer for her performance inMan of La Mancha.[citation needed]
In 1986, she received the María Tereza Montoya andVirginia Fábregas prizes for her acting inAire frío.[citation needed]
Since 1988, she has directed many popular, internationally distributed soap operas. This work has earned her prizes from theHerald and New York Latin ACE Award. A promoter of the arts of her homeland, she promoted and supported the artistic and cultural values of her fellow countrymen, and was a member of ANDA (National Actors Association of Mexico).[citation needed]
