No biographical details are currently known.
In the 60's she tended to be cast in roles that were somewhat bizarre, or else drunks or English - or some combination of these. In the 70's she became in demand in eccentric roles in the boom in Spanish horror movies. It is rather difficult to work out what her actual age could have been as I get the impression she was often cast in roles where she was made up to look older.
With several undocumented roles found in our film topics it seems probable that there could be more.
