The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sanchez, This Saturday he expressed his sympathy in social networks for Death of the famous Argentine actor Héctor Alterio, who died on 96 years in the Iberian land where he lived half a century ago.

And the wonderful gift of life to have you He directed the film together with Pepe Sacristán in Argentina and Spain. Thank you for your trust and for your friendship.

Her legacy as a professional and as a person is unmatched. “You will always be in the hearts of those of us who had the joy of sharing this wondrous adventure of life.”
Last May, Alterio Diario gave a detailed interview to El País.
There he spoke about acting, which he stuck with wholeheartedly: “It gives me the opportunity to express myself. I have no other choice. And I still really enjoy entertaining others. All my life I have strived for two main things: entertain and believe me, believe what I do on stage. For me, acting was one ceaseless search for the truth. Never act routinely or mechanically. That every role and every function is something new and that the viewer believes me, that he really believes in what my character does and lives. If I don’t cause a fuss, it means I’ve done something wrong, that I have not reached the truth.”
In this interview, Alterio recalled the difficult moment of Exile:
“It was my prison and also in my salvation. When they threaten to kill you, that’s what you think They can do anything to you anytime, anywhere, even if you are not in Buenos Aires yet. But exile also allowed me to meet good, honest and generous people who behaved in a way that I can still hardly believe today. like him Actor Juan Diego, For example. I barely knew him. One day he came with a suitcase and said to me: “Héctor, here I bring you the newspaper clippings you asked for.” I was completely disoriented, I didn’t understand what he was talking about, I hadn’t asked him for anything. I thought he would bring me the reports that were published in the Spanish press about my films or something like that. When I opened it there was Money. A lot of money that allowed us to move forward. A gesture I will never forget.”
