Miguel Zacarías

Miguel Zacarías was born in Mexico City on 19 March 1905, to Lebanese parents. A pupil at the Franco-English school, then at an American boarding school in Missouri, he also studied languages in Lebanon. Against his father's advice, he turned to cinema: he directed fifty-one films from 1932 to 1983, produced many more, helped found the Churubusco studios and launched several stars. He later wrote novels, tales and plays, and died in Cuernavaca in April 2006, aged one hundred and one.
