Milagros Leal

Milagros Leal (2 December 1902 – 2 March 1975) was a Spanish actress.

Biography She began her theater career as a child with the Loreto Prado and Enrique Chicote Company and, at an early age, began to enjoy success on stage, such as with the play Champán. In 1923, she began working alongside Catalina Bárcena and Gregorio Martínez Sierra, continuing until 1930, and in 1934 she created her own company. Over the course of a career spanning six decades, she established herself as one of the great ladies of the 20th-century Spanish stage, with notable successes such as Butterflies Are Free (Butterflies Are Free).

She made her film debut in 1928 and, unlike her theater career, her film career revolved almost exclusively around supporting roles, albeit solid ones.

Her daughter, Amparo Soler Leal, born from her marriage to fellow actor Salvador Soler Marí, continued the family's artistic tradition.
