Meche Carreño

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

María de las Mercedes Carreño Nava (born September 15, 1947 in Minatitlán , Veracruz ), better known as Meche Carreño , is a Mexican actress, singer and model.

Life

When Meche was 4 years old, her mother moved her to Mexico City , where the two lived in the 1960s on a lively street near Avenida Niño Perdido (now Eje Central Lázaro Cárdenas ), not far from Tepito . Even as a child, Meche dreamed of a career as an actress, model or dancer and posed for hours in front of the mirror. At the age of 15, she was offered to perform in the Teatro Blanquita , which was not far from her apartment. At the age of 17 she received an invitation to a bikini competition, which she won. Only a little later she was photographed again in the same place, this time nude photos were taken. Their publication in the magazine Siempre! caused a stir and in an article the journalist Alberto Domingo praised the freshness and carefree of the unknown girl.

In 1965 she was in front of the camera for the first time, in 1967 she received the female lead for the first time in the film El barón Brakola and in the 1970s she took part in the telenovela Siempre habrá un mañana . For her appearance in the 1974 film Los perros de Dios , she was nominated for "Best Supporting Actress" for the Premio Ariel , which she won the following year for her performance in La choca . In the late 1960s, and especially throughout the 1970s, Meche Carreño starred in a variety of films. At the beginning of the 1980s, she played in two music films alongside Juan Gabriel and then largely withdrew from the film business. She returned to the camera only three times later in 1988, 1989 and 2005.

Occasionally Meche Carreño also worked as a singer and in 1979 recorded, among other things, a single called Fiebre , a Spanish cover version of the song Fever .
