Biography
Alejandra Darín was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1962.[1] She was of Lebanese and Italian ancestry (specifically from the Vigo di Cadore area), and her family was well connected in the world of theater.[2][3] Her grandfather, the son of an Italian immigrant, was the owner of the Marconi theater.[4] Both of her parents, Ricardo Darín Sr. and Roxana Darín, were actors, and her older brother is the well-known actor Ricardo Darín.[1][5] Their parents separated when Alejandra was 3 years old, and they have another sibling from their father's subsequent relationship.[6]
Fausto and Antonia Bengoechea, her two children with her partner, Álex Benn, also became actors.[1][7]
Darín began acting professionally at age 9, appearing on the Canal 13 show La selva es mujer.[1][4] Over an over 50-year career, she appeared in dozens of film, television, and stage productions, including the shows Poliladrón, 099 Central, Rincón de Luz, and Son amores.[1]
She was also a labor leader, serving from 2011 until her death as president of the Argentine Actors' Association.[1][4] She had first joined the union in 1973, and she led the organization during the passage of the Actor's Law, which gave actors access to Social Security retirement benefits.[1][4] She was also active in the Latin American division of the International Federation of Actors.[8]
Darín died in January 2025 at age 62, after a long illness.[1][5][9]
