Lautaro Murúa was a renowned and accomplished actor, widely regarded as one of the most talented in Argentinean cinema.
Born in Chile, Murúa relocated to Argentina at the dawn of the 1950s, where he would go on to make a significant impact on the film industry.
He was a key figure in the artistic movement known as The Generation of the '60, collaborating with esteemed directors such as Leopoldo Torre Nilsson, Rodolfo Khun, Manuel Antín, David José Khon, and Leonardo Favio.
In addition to his work as an actor, Murúa was also an accomplished director, devoting himself to creating films that tackled social issues. Some of his notable directorial efforts include "Shunko," "Alias Gardelito," and "The Raulito," among others.
However, Murúa's life took a dramatic turn in the 1970s, when he was forced to flee to Spain due to political reasons. He would go on to spend several years in Spain, working on various film projects before eventually returning to Argentina.
Despite his later years being marked by illness, Murúa continued to work on film projects in Spain until his passing, leaving behind a lasting legacy in the world of Argentinean cinema.
