Storyline

---

Another Spanish film has been released, and, as in recent years, Cesar Neira isn't working on it. The public, and especially the producers, seem to have forgotten about him. The radio competition "Famosa en una noche" (Famous in One Night) gives him the opportunity to be talked about again. (from EdCE, translated by Google)

Unidentified credited actors

• Ángela Tamayo

Uncredited actors listed as appearing by other sources, but not identified

• Carlos Ciscar - IMDb with no role. He has 4 other credits on IMDb, none with roles.
• Francisco Puyol - IMDb with no role. He worked mainly as a make-up artist, so it seems probable that would be the role he would play here in one or other of the film shoot scenes. He only has one other acting credit on IMDb, with no role.
• Juan Segarra - IMDb with no role. He has one other credit on IMDb, listed with role, so he may be identifiable.

The only unidentified credited actor is Ángela Tamayo, pictured here in a couple of 50's film roles and some images found online. IMDb say she should play the second companion of Cesar, however their identification of the role played by Teresa del Rio as first companion of Cesar is incorrect, so I doubt this one would be either.

1. This is the girl who appears with Teresa del Rio at the party, however her role is smaller, so less likely to be credited. I think her face is too thin to be Tamayo.

2. This is a speaking role of film star Elisa Torres, which would be more likely to be credited, but she doesn't really seem like her to me

3. Then there are the 2 losers of the contest. This one again seems too thin faced to me.

4. Of the 5 this one seems the most like her in my opinion. She seems a bit young, but could just be made up to look younger?

5. The only role that could actually fit the role description on IMDb would be this one, but to me she seems the least like her of the 5.

Clearly Nr. 4 , to me. Second pic from film matches the third comparision pic perfectly.

Yes, she's the one I thought most likely. If no opinions to the contrary appear in the meantime then I will add her tomorrow.
