Golden age of Mexican cinema
Carmelita González made her debut in 1945 with Camino de Sacramento which starred Negrete.[1][4][7] Because she was uncredited, González only earned $21.[1][4][7] She earned her first film credit as Carmelita González in 1946 alongside comedian Cantinflas in Soy un prófugo.[3][8] Active throughout the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, González's film credits included 1952's Dos tipos de cuidado, co-starring Jorge Negrete and Pedro Infante.[6] Her role as Rosario, a rape victim, in Dos tipos de cuidado garnered a Diosa de Plata (Silver Goddess Award) and considered a major performance.[9][10] González would appear uncredited with Mario Moreno in 1956's Around the World in 80 Days.[2] Her contemporary actresses were Charito Granados, Esther Fernández and Marga López.[9] Appearing during the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, these contemporaries like González were atypical heroines ahead of their time.[9][10]
In 1952, González starred in Huracán Ramírez, which was a black-and-white movie, in the then emerging genre of lucha libre masked wrestler films.[1][4][11][12] During the 1940s, a series of movies beginning with El Santo and El Hijo del Santo in 1942 popularized lucha libre, literally free-style fighting, masked wrestlers.[13] González would go on to star in the 1962 El Misterio de Huracán Ramírez, 1966 El Hijo de Huracán Ramírez and 1967 La venganza de Huracán Ramirez remakes.[14][15][16]
Telenovela career
González later worked on Mexican television, including telenovelas. She appeared as a supporting actress in various roles on the telenovelas Así son ellas, Amar otra vez and Alegrijes y rebujos.[6] González' last appearances were on Amar Otra Vez in 2004 as her health began to wane.[9][10]
Early life
Gonzalez was born in Mexico City on July 11, 1928.[6] Her father insisted upon her earning a college degree in Industrial relations but González studied English and French in the United States.[1][4] He initially opposed her desire to work in field of drama but won the approval of her mother and appeared in the movie Bésame mucho.[1][4] González was married briefly to Eduardo Fajardo with whom she bore a daughter, Paloma del Rocío.[1][4][9][10]
