Susana Giménez

Susana Giménez in 1975.

Giménez was the daughter of María Luisa Sanders,[6] of Irish descent, and Augusto Giménez Aubert, of Spanish descent. She had a hard childhood, tainted by her parents' separation. She studied in Quilmes, and graduated from La Anunciata Collegiate[7] as a primary school teacher, a profession she never practised. Before becoming famous, for a couple of years Giménez worked as an executive secretary for a large factory.

At 19 years old, she became a model, and made her name in a TV commercial for Cadum, a brand of French soap. Most of her subsequent film career was in adult-oriented comedies, acting opposite Alberto Olmedo, Jorge Porcel, and fellow vedette Moria Casán. Giménez has acted in over 30 films, including the cult film La Mary,[8] and 10 plays. In 2008, Giménez launched her own magazine called Susana,[9] published by La Nación.[4] She is featured in the cover of every issue. She had her own fashion doll,[10] and has endorsed two fragrances.[11]

In 1962, aged 18, she married businessman Mario Sarabayrouse.[12] A year later she gave birth to her only daughter, Mercedes Sarabayrouse Giménez.

In 1970 she starred in 'La Mary', a film directed by Daniel Tinayre, where she met Carlos Monzón, a notorious Argentine boxer with whom she started a relationship that lasted two years. For 9 years she was in a relationship with actor Ricardo Darín, who was thirteen years younger. They ended up on good terms, remaining great friends.[13] Susana would invite the actor as the first guest every year on her show.

In 1988 she married Huberto Roviralta, a polo player, whom she divorced in 1998.[14] She had to pay ten million dollars to Roviralta as a divorce settlement.[15]

From her daughter Mercedes, Giménez has two grandchildren, Lucía and Manuel. In private her family and friends call her "Su", a practice that has been adopted by her fans.
