When we close our eyes and imagine speaking to Meryl Streep in Spanish, we are actually thinking of the voice of Rosa Guiñón. This Monday the death of the dubber at the age of 90 has transpired, as confirmed by the Film Academy.
His voice is one of the best known in the country's seventh art. And it is that not only brought us what the protagonist of The Bridges of Madison said, but also dubbed many more actresses, both Spanish and foreign, such as Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Julie Andrews, Barbra Streisand, Kathleen Turner, Debbie Reynolds, Natalie Wood , Romy Schneider, Shirley MacLaine, Judy Garland, Elizabeth Taylor, Jessica Lange, Dianne Wiest...and many other names.
An impeccable career that Guiñón had been practicing since the early fifties and that led him to do more than 1,700 different works, most of them films, although there were also some commercials. Her husband was Rogelio Hernández, another great in the profession who gave voice to Michael Caine, Jack Nicholson, Paul Newman and Marlon Brando.
The thing runs in the family as her daughter, Rosa María Hernández Guiñón continues her parents' legacy and plays Demi Moore, Melanie Griffith and Ashley Judd.
The networks have not been slow to pay tribute to the interpreter and to rescue some of her best-known works, such as The Bridges of Madison, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Roman Holidays or West Side Story, among others.
