Synthesis

The Mexican actress Katy Jurado, who was immortalized for being the first to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, due to her participation in the film Broken Spear , has been remembered thanks to the montage of the play Filomena Marturano .

Katy Jurado

The once winner of the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress thanks to her performance in the film Alone before danger was remembered in the staging in question, which is starring Rebecca Jones and Juan Ferrara . The film version of this play was known as Italian Love .

The 1956 Broadway translation of the film was called The best house in Naples or Filumena , which was starred by Katy Jurado and of which only three presentations were made in the marquees of New York .

Katy Jurado was born with the name of María Cristina Jurado García on January 16, 1924 in Guadalajara , Jalisco , Mexico . His great-grandfather was of Andalusian origin . Jurado had a privileged childhood. Their maternal and paternal families had been wealthy, six generations earlier, owning most of the land that became the state of Texas . Both families lost much of their wealth during the Mexican Revolution. The family’s lands were confiscated by the federal government for redistribution to landless peasants. However, Jurado maintained his social status. His father was a cattle tycoon and orange farmer, and his mother was a well-known opera singer who left the stage to marry and start a family. Katy was Emilio Portes Gil’s cousin, who was president of Mexico. Despite the loss of her property, the matriarch of the family, her grandmother, continued to live up to her aristocratic ideals. Jurado completed her first studies at a religious college run by Teresian nuns in Colonia Florida in Mexico City. Eventually she pursued a career as a bilingual secretary. Her beauty soon began to attract the attention of some film directors. Mauricio de la Serna was the first to suggest working in the industry. Later, Emilio Fernández invited her to play a role in his directorial debut, The Island of Passion.(1941). Jurado went against her family’s wishes and began pursuing an acting career. But Jurado’s grandmother objected to her desire to become a movie actress. To avoid prohibition, Katy shed control of her family by marrying Mexican actor and writer Víctor Velázquez in 1940.

Personal life

In 1940, Katy married the Mexican actor and writer Víctor Velázquez (future stepfather of Mexican actresses Lorena Velázquez and Tere Velázquez ). From this marriage their two children were born: Víctor Hugo and Sandra. The marriage ended in divorce in 1943, and the children stayed with Jurado’s family in Mexico when she traveled to the United States to work. Unfortunately, her son Víctor died in a tragic car accident in Monterrey in 1981, a fact that plunged the actress into a deep depression from which she never fully recovered

In her years in Hollywood, Katy had romances with some actors such as John Wayne and Tyrone Power , as well as with director Budd Boetticher. Marlon Brando fell in love with Katy after seeing her at High Noon . He was married at the time to Movita Castaneda , and was having a parallel relationship with Rita Moreno . Brando told Joseph L. Mankiewicz that he was drawn to “her enigmatic eyes, black as hell, staring at you like arrows of fire.” She became close friends with him when Brando filmed Viva Zapata!in Mexico. Jurado recalled years later in an interview that Marlon “called me one night for a date, and I accepted. He knew all about Movita. I knew he had something with Rita Moreno. But heck, it was just a date. I was not going to marry him. However, that first date was the beginning of a protracted romance that lasted many years and reached its peak the moment they worked together on One-Eyed Jacks (1960), a film directed by Brando himself. “Marlon asked me to marry him many times, but for me, my kids came first,” Katy revealed.

Death

Towards the end of her life, Katy Jurado suffered from heart and lung disease. She died of kidney failure and lung disease on July 5, 2002, at the age of 78, at her home in Cuernavaca (Morelos). She was buried in the Pantheon of La Paz (Cuernavaca). He was survived by his daughter Sandra.

Katy Jurado has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7065 Hollywood Boulevard for her contribution to film. She was honored at the Guadalajara International Film Festival and along with other film personalities at the 75th Oscar Awards Ceremony .

Until 2003, when Salma Hayek was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, Katy Jurado was the only Mexican woman to aspire to this award. Later, in 2007, Adriana Barraza would also be nominated .
