Life

As a singer, Serrano is known for her characteristic interpretation of the Mexican musical styles Ranchera and Corrido . Her songs El Ausente , El Amor de la Paloma and Cariño Santo became classics in traditional Mexican music. Due to her exotic beauty and wasp waist figure, she was able to follow up her singing career with a successful acting career. Her roles in the films La Martina (1971, directed by René Cardona Jr.) and La Tigresa (1973) finally helped her break through as an actress.

Irma Serrano has appeared in more than 100 films, plays and Spanish soaps . It was part of an era that many critics have called the "golden era" of Mexican entertainment production. She achieved great fame in all of Latin America, a considerable amount of wealth and was not infrequently in the Latin American press due to numerous romantic entanglements with well-known Mexican men. In later years she was the center of several scandals and controversy.

In the 1990s she successfully pursued a political career as a senator in the Mexican state of Chiapas .

As a writer, she published the autobiographical books A Calzón Amarrado (1978) and Sin Pelos En La Lengua (1979).

Serrano has a son who was born in 2004. It had been conceived years earlier by means of artificial insemination from the eggs and sperm of her deceased lover Alejo Peralta and preserved by freezing . Since Serrano feared complications during the pregnancy due to her advanced age, her niece carried the child as a surrogate mother .
