Mercedes Aguilar González de Piñera

===BODY===
Talented actress and reciter, founder of Cuban television, who worked extensively with Gaspar Pumarejo and Otto Sirgo, alternating between radio, TV, and theater.

She left behind a career of more than 50 years, for which she was honored along with 91 actors at the 85th Anniversary of Cuban Radio. She also worked in multiple Cuban TV novels, in ICR Theater programs, in stories, adventures, and in much of the existing radio and TV programming. Among her greatest moments remembered were when she starred in La Celestina, premiered on May 20, 1967, in which Eslinda Núñez played Melibea alongside Iván Colás as Calixto, and Ángel Toraño, among others, directed by Valenzuela, who was the director of the University Theater at that time and of the Sala Tespis.

She worked in "El Conde de Montecristo," directed by Marcos Miranda; and in the Cuban work "Contigo Pan y Cebolla," also directed by Marcos, playing the central character of Lala, alongside the equally glorious actor Ángel Toraño and with two other talented performers Seve Matamoros and Gerardo Riverón. Years before, she had worked with Raquel and Vicente Revueltas, founders of Teatro Estudio. Besides being a great actress, she is remembered as an excellent human being, loved by most of her colleagues. She died in absolute silence, without a press note, nor on radio, nor on TV, to which she dedicated her entire life.

Mercy Aguilar, for her talent and her example as a great human being, was one of those great actresses who brought prestige to the Cuban artistic community.

She began on Channel 4 acting in the first theaters directed by Cuqui Ponce de León. From those years she continued working in Radio, Theater, and Television. She has worked in the telenovelas El Rojo y el Negro, Horizontes, El diario de Annia Karenina as well as other theaters, stories, adventures, humorous and other dramatic works. She performed in classical and lyrical works such as Zarzuelas and Operetas, among them Cecilia Valdés and Mme. Butterfly; in humorous productions such as San Nicolás del Peladero; and in Adventures such as El Conde de Montecristi, Orden de Ataque, La Flecha Negra, Enrique Lagardere and others.
