Life

Zulema Esther González Borbón was born in 1920 in Villa Ballester in simple circumstances. When she was ten years old, her father passed away. In order to contribute to the family's livelihood, she worked as a seamstress, among other things.

She later worked as a model and got her first extra role in Mujeres que trabajan in 1938 . In 1939 she appeared in Luis Bayon Herrera's musical film Cándida . The first supporting roles in other films soon followed. While filming the film Orquesta de señoritas in 1941 she met the filmmaker Luis César Amadori , with whom she started a relationship. In 1942 she got her first leading role in the film En el último piso . Moreno soon became the main female star of the Argentine film production company Argentina Sono Film . She had her final breakthrough in 1943 with the lead role in the drama Stella by Benito Perojo . In 1944 she appeared under the direction of Amadori in the romantic comedy Apasionadamente on the side of Pedro López Lagar . When she starred again in a film by Amadori in Dos ángeles y un pecador in 1945 , the gossip press reported about their relationship, after which Moreno first appeared in films by other directors. She celebrated great success in 1946 in Francisco Mugica's Cristina and Mario Sofficis Celos and in 1947 in Lucas Demares Nunca te diré adiós .

In April 1947 Moreno and Luis married César Amadori. In 1948, Moreno appeared in Dios se lo pague , again directed by Amadori, which was an overwhelming success for both of them. Moreno made three films in Mexico in the 1950s. After the fall of Juan Perón in 1955, Moreno and Amadori fled into exile in Spain . In 1957 she appeared in the Spanish film Madrugada, directed by Antonio Román . She retired from acting in the early 1960s.

In the 1970s the couple moved back to Argentina and took over the management of the Teatro Maipo in Buenos Aires. After Amadori's death in 1977, Moreno largely withdrew from public life. She developed Alzheimer's disease and died on December 25, 1999 at the age of 79.
