Cecilia Roth become world-known with her superb Manuela character on All About My Mother, but she was very popular on spanish-speaking countries a lot before that, for being an Almodovar girl (All About My Mother, Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del montón, ¿Qué he hecho yo para merecer esto?, ...) and her marriage with singer/composer extraordinaire Fito Páez (let's not forget that her brother is Ariel Rot, an amazing musician).
interviewer: ...you know you're the envy of other men for being married to Cecilia Roth...
Fito Páez: Yeah, but she's mine. Fuck you
(from a Canal + interview)
I'm guessing here, but I believe Cecilia has sold her soul to the Devil for eternal beauty (or maybe Argentina's females are bound to be beautiful, check Valeria Mazza). She's over 40 now, and she still can play a porn star in the recent Una noche con Sabrina Love; check out the excellent Martin (Hache) where she's a big-time head turner. Her acting abilities are outstanding too, her hard-hitting coke-snorting Alicia in Martin (Hache) is perhaps even better than tortured Manuela in All About, watch both movies and have your say!
