María Luisa Paredes Bartolomé (3 April 1946 – 17 December 2024), known professionally as Marisa Paredes, was a Spanish actress with a long illustrious career. She acted in more than 75 films, 80 tv shows and 15 plays – with some of Europe's most important directors – and was the recipient of numerous awards.

Life and career

Paredes made her film debut in José María Forqué's 1960 film Police Calling 091.[1] She became a teen idol across Spain after that film. In 1961, she made her début in theatre and since then she has performed different plays such as Hamlet with Eduard Fernández. In 1975, she and Raphael collaborated in a cartoon film about him, Rafael en Raphael. She has participated in 73 films and television series. She portrayed the leading role of La Peregrina in a television production of Alejandro Casona's La dama del alba.

Pedro Almodóvar helped her to achieve her recognition, as she featured in many of his films, such as Dark Habits (1983), High Heels (1991), The Flower of My Secret (1995), All About My Mother (1999) and The Skin I Live In (2011). For her role in The Flower of My Secret, she was nominated for the Goya Award for Best Actress.

She appeared in several other acclaimed films, including In a Glass Cage (1986) by Agustí Villaronga (Majorca), Life Is Beautiful (1998) by Roberto Benigni (Italy), Deep Crimson (1996) by Arturo Ripstein and The Devil's Backbone (2001) by Guillermo del Toro (both from Mexico).[2]

In 1996, she was given the National Film Award by the Spanish Ministry of Culture. From 2000 to 2003 she was the president of the Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias Cinematográficas de España.

In 2007, she was given at Gijón International Film Festival, a National Film Award named after Nacho Martinez.[3]

In the 1970s, she had a domestic partnership of about seven years with filmmaker Antonio Isasi-Isasmendi, whom with she had one daughter, María Isasi.[4] Between 1983 and her death, she had been in a relationship with Chema Prado.[4]

In 2023, she appeared in a small role as a woman known as "La República" in the Atresplayer series Vestidas de azul.[5][6]

Paredes died from heart failure in Madrid, on 17 December 2024, at the age of 78.[7][8][9]

Her lying in repose was held on the next day at the Teatro Español.[10]

She will appear in a posthumous performance in Emergency Exit, expected to be released in 2025.[11]
