Susana Giménez

María Susana Giménez-Aubert (born 29 January 1944), known as Susana Giménez , is an Argentine TV host, actress, model and businesswoman. In 2012, she was considered the biggest celebrity in Argentine television by the media firm that publishes her eponymous magazine. Since 2020, she lives in Uruguay.

Early life Giménez was the daughter of María Luisa Sanders, of Irish descent, and Augusto Giménez Aubert, of Spanish descent. She had a hard childhood, tainted by her parents' separation. She studied in Quilmes, and graduated from La Anunciata Collegiate as a primary school teacher, a profession she never practised. Before becoming famous, for a couple of years Giménez worked as an executive secretary for a large factory.

1990s

On 30 January 1998, Susana Giménez and former polo player Huberto Roviralta agreed to the terms of their divorce in Miami. On 11 February, Giménez returned from Miami to her home and found that Roviralta was still living there. After an argument, he emerged from the house with an injured nose and blood on his face. At a press conference the following day, Giménez said, "Huberto me empujó, trató de agredirme, y yo me defendí y le tiré con un cenicero" ("Huberto pushed me, tried to attack me, and I defended myself and threw an ashtray at him").

Career At 19 years old, she became a model, and made her name in a TV commercial for Cadum, a brand of French soap. Most of her subsequent film career was in adult-oriented comedies, acting opposite Alberto Olmedo, Jorge Porcel, Ante Garmaz and fellow vedette Moria Casán. Giménez has acted in over 30 films, including the cult film La Mary, and 10 plays. In 2008, Giménez launched her own magazine called Susana, published by La Nación. She is featured in the cover of every issue. She had her own fashion doll, and has endorsed two fragrances.

Personal life In 1962, aged 18, she married businessman Mario Sarabayrouse. A year later she gave birth to her only daughter, Mercedes Sarabayrouse Giménez.

In 1974 she starred in La Mary, a film directed by Daniel Tinayre, where she met boxer Carlos Monzón, with whom she started a relationship that lasted two years. For 9 years she was in a relationship with actor Ricardo Darín, who was thirteen years younger. They ended up on good terms, remaining great friends. Susana would invite the actor as the first guest every year on her show.

In 1988 she married Huberto Roviralta, a polo player, whom she divorced in 1998. She had to pay ten million dollars to Roviralta as a divorce settlement.

From her daughter Mercedes, Giménez has two grandchildren, Lucía and Manuel. In private her family and friends call her "Su", a practice that has been adopted by her fans.
