MARIO MORENO CANTINFLAS (August 12, 1911April 20, 1993)

Fortino Mario Alfonso Moreno Reyes was a comedian of the Mexican theatre and film industry. The character who he interprated was associated with the national identity of Mexico, his character Cantinflas, was examined by media critics, who saw that it was as a danger to Mexican society.

He married Valentina Ivanova Zubareff, on October 27, 1936, but she died in January, 1966. Mario Moreno had a son in 1961 and he was adopted by his wife Valentina Ivanova and named him Mario Arturo Moreno Ivanova.

Origin of name


As a young man, Cantinflas performed a variety of acts. It was in the circus that he earned the nickname "Cantinflas"; however, the origin of the name is a legend. Maybe, "Cantinflas" is a name invented to prevent his parents from knowing he was in the entertainment business.


Film career

Cantinflas in Águila o sol (1937)
In the mid-1930s, Cantinflas met a Russian producer
Jacques Gelman. Gelman produced, directed, and distributed, while Cantinflas acted. Cantinflas made his film debut in 1936 with No te engañes corazón but the film received little attention. He established Posa Films in 1939, producing short films, but it was in 1940 that he finally became a movie star with Ahí está el detalle.



In 1956, "Cantinflas" American debut earned him a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a musical or comedy.


After returning to Mexico, Cantinflas created his own company, Cantinflas Films and continued making movies until his last, El Barrendero, in 1982.

"Cantinflas" films, to this day, still generate money for Columbia Pictures. In 2000, Columbia reported in an estimated USD$4 million in foreign distribution from the films.

He have made a lot of movies along his life, around 34. But the most important movie for me in "El Padrecito" for all the comic situation that happend. I think it's so funny.

Nowadays he is a legend and even he was mexican, every latin people feel proud of him.

She dieth on February 1939 in Moscow.
Marxist Activist.
Promoted the Sovietic Library System.


She was born in St. Petersburg, Russia on February 1869, her fathers where Konstantín Ignátievich Krupsky an soldier and Elizaveta Vasílevna Tistrova a governess.

Since she was a child she grow up inside a communist family where although her father was a soldier he always thought in the poor people and for that reason he was inside in a trial because one age he was the leader of the district of Grojec where he made built a hospital for the poor people, etc. And he made a survey to the farm workers and this was the main reason because he was got in a trial because that survey was against the farm owners.

Finally he death on February 25, 1883 sick by tuberculosis, after that she and her mother had to work and made several different thinks to survive, although that she could studied and became a teacher and specialize in Russian and Mathematics.

She met Lenin in 1894 as a Marxist Activist, they both where arrested and sentenced to three years of exile during that time they lived in Siberia, finally they got married on July 10, 1898.

Krupskaya was a lover of libraries and developed and promoted the Soviet library system and both Krupskaya and Lenin believed in the importance of libraries, that the conditions of the libraries were an indication of the level of culture.

Krupskaya believed that the "children's book is one of the most powerful weapons of the socialist character-education of the growing generation".

She was able to promote librarianship, through an establishment of a professional library school in St. Petersburg, and retained her influence over the library system until her death. In fact her last public words were pertaining to the future of the Soviet Libraries.

This time I´ve decided to write about this women because when many people listen or think in Socialism o Communist movements the first idea than they have is than those movements where only bad for everybody, but I think it´s the only idea than news or the most common ways of communication tries to give us but we must not believe in things than other say and we have to look for other kinds of information or other sources that could give us a more truth information.

In 2004, appears “Ascolta”, or “Escucha” in Spanish, which includes 11 songs, and her last publication is the album, titled “Io Canto” and its Spanish version “Yo canto”, this album has 16 songs elected by the singer to capture the essence of everything that she loves. The CD contains two songs with other famous singers: Juanes and Tiziano Ferro.



Then is possible to say that she has had a successful musical career, but it doesn’t means everything for her, She worries about the social injustice, and for the problems of her country, also for the children world’s future, and for this reason, she is active member of " UNICEF ", she holds a lot of events to recollect money for this organization and doesn't like to make publicity with this.


Finally is necessary to say that Laura Pausini is my favourite singer, because I think that she has a wonderful voice and her songs are direct and they transmit a mixer of a lot of feelings and emotions, and I must admit that I have felt attraction by the Italian language, since I listened her to sing in this idiom.
