Cube Bonifant (1904 – August 16, 1993) was a Mexican journalist, satirist, and film critic known as Una Pequeña Marquesa de Sade ("little Marquis de Sade") for her biting wit.
She was born Antonia Bonifant López in El Rosario, a small mining town in Sinaloa. Her sister was the silent film actress Carmen López.[1] She got her nickname Cube as a girl by mispronouncing the greeting “¿Qué hubo?" as “Cu-be.”[2]
Cube Bonifant died on 16 August 1993 in Coyoacán.
