Early life and career

Born Ana Beatriz Martínez Solórzano to famous comedian Jesús Martínez 'Palillo', and his Nicaraguan wife, Hilda Solórzano,^[2] Ana Martín became known to the public in the first half of the 1960s after winning the title of Miss Mexico and starring in popular movies alongside some of the biggest young actors of the time, including César Costa and Fernando Luján, as well as American stars Robert Taylor and Chad Everett (in Return of the Gunfighter).

After playing supporting roles in various telenovelas, Martín won her first leading role as Laura in Muchacha de barrio in 1979. That same year, she played the leading role in La llama de tu amor.

In 1982, she starred in the successful Gabriel y Gabriela, in which she played a young woman trying to pass as a man. She also sang the theme song and released an album. Martín stated in an interview for the TV program Vidas Paralelas in 2010 that she was not a singer and has never recorded any album. She said that the song in this telenovela was done by special effects.

After La pasión de Isabela in 1984 and El pecado de Oyuki in 1986, Martín largely retired from the public view. In 1996, she made a welcome return to the small screen and has remained very active, with credits in telenovelas such as Alma Rebelde, Amor Real, Rubí, La Madrastra, Duelo de Pasiones, Un gancho al corazon, Mañana es para siempre, Soy Tu Dueña, La que no podia amar and Amores verdaderos. In 2009 she made a small appearance in Los exitosos Pérez alongside Jaime Camil, Ludwika Paleta, Rogelio Guerra, Verónica Castro and José Ron.^[3]
