Marta Aura (4 September 1942 – 8 July 2022) was a Mexican actress.
Life and career
Aura was born in Mexico City on 4 September 1942, the daughter of Olimpo Aura Pineda and Ema Palacios Ordorica. Her parents did not accept the fact that she wanted to become an actress and therefore she decided to leave her house together with her sister María Elena Aura, a writer, and her brother Alejandro Aura, an actor and poet. Her niece María Aura, Alejandro's daughter, is also an actress.[citation needed]
Aura studied acting at the National Academy of Fine Arts. She made her stage debut in 1959, although she became known professionally in 1965. Shortly thereafter she met her first husband, actor Adán Guevara, with whom she had two children. After fifteen years, they divorced. After that, she met the Mexican actor of Spanish origin Rubén Rojo, who subsequently married her and with whom she had a son, actor Rubén Rojo Aura. In total she had three children and four grandchildren.[1]
Aura died in Mexico City on 8 July 2022, at the age of 79.[2]
