In her early years she moved to Mexico City, where she started her career on stage of the teatro Ideal as a teenager in 1926.[1] Afterwards she participated in the Teatro Ulises and the Teatro Orientación[3] movement of the Los Contemporáneos group, and made afterwards a career in the theater, movie and television businesses.[4] She became better known in the end of the 1930s, when she played in La noche de los mayas.
