MariNisia 4,198 Posted October 15, 2022 Daniel J. Evans, the distinguished American politician who served three terms, he declined to run for a fourth, as the 16th Governor of the State of Washington from 1965 to 1977, and six years in the U.S. Senate, is 97 today. Carmen Sevilla, the marvellous Spanish film actress, television presenter and singer who began her career as a dancer and made her film debut in 1948 with "Jalisco canta en Sevilla" ("Jalisco sings in Seville"), one of Jorge Negrete's two Spanish-made films, is 92 today. Carmen Sevilla, "Carmen of Spain" and "the bride of Spain", was discovered when she was a teenager dancer in Andalusian shows. Respected by her colleagues and admired and adored by the public, Carmen Sevilla has been, is and will be one of the biggest Spanish stars of all time. Juan Antonio Bardem's rural drama from 1958, "La venganza" ("Vengeance"), the very first Spanish language film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, is probably her best work. The film, directed by Javier Bardem's uncle, had serious troubles with Spanish censorship and Bardem even went to prison. It's an excellent drama who was one of Spain's entries in the Cannes Film Festival of 1958. Carmen Sevilla has been one of the great pioneers in caring for people with disabilities. In 2015, her Alzheimer's disease was made public. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
