Mary Isbert 
Speaking of his recent death (25/04/2011) is appropriate to recall an actress who went by the English film without attracting too much attention, but filling the movie speaking, despite With its quick tasks, great humanity.
Humanity comparable only to that of his father, (this time) recognized and celebrated actor of Welcome Mr. Marshall, pram or Executioner.
Digna daughter of his father, not only was his strong resemblance physical, but also for his talent. Talent that, unfortunately, unable to deploy, at least in the cinema in all its magnitude.
Born in Madrid in 1917, Mary grew up backstage and Isbert twelve years and played his first role in the tables.
In the theater was always recognized that in film, perhaps because during those years, women who wanted to succeed on the screen had to be almost always great bellezón. Clearly, Mary was very normal.
The first film appeared in 1945 in film Life begins at midnight , but that same year for two more pieces of paper: in The path of Babel and She and her millions.
is the beginning of a busy filmography that would not break, because every year was involved in one or more productions.
was how he became to the viewer a very recognizable face to the point that went unnoticed and taken as natural as it appeared there by a piece of paper, leaving the audience with a laugh or a smile and disappeared from the scene.
his physique and his voice broken tremendously conditioned. Just like his father, who with less success. Their roles could not be but maids, spinsters, suburban and things like that where I had to put his wit and impudence.
Of course, its scope was the comedy. Being sincere and avoiding inherent in conventional apology any semblance of who has recently died, Mary moved Isbert in cinema-quality movies more than doubtful.
However, those films years was so superficial and fled from all transcendence. The country was not great films (although there were) and what prevailed was the atrascanada. The people needed fun.
In this film, great actors moved demostralo could only years later (José Luis López Vázquez, José Sacristán, Conchita Velasco ...) it was not for Mary Isbert. I refer, of course, did not get to players where they can demonstrate their tragicomic vein.
His shelter was (could it be otherwise if we wanted to show his talent) theater. In any case, the cinema, he could always say that he worked under the command of Luis Buñuel ( Viridiana ) and Marco Ferreri ( Stroller ), along with his father.
Perhaps we should mention also engage in the great film de Vicente Aranda period of silence. I will dispense with listing the films that participated, as were dozens and dozens.
Say, before closing this friendly reminder that Mary was Isbert always above the hosted movies, no matter how small its insignificant role and that was that movie.
With the death of Mary does not end the saga of the Isbert, because his son had a film career, in principle very promising, which was losing steam as he went, leaving behind his lover of physical seventies.
Like her mother, Tony Isbert found refuge and recognition in the theater, which also seems to have been felled since his name has long since stopped ringing.
Mary Isbert worked
in films until 2005 in which he intervened in three films that released only one: Semen, a love story , directed by Daniela Fejerman and Ines Paris.
