Titled in piano at the Madrid Royal Conservatory, María del Puy also pursued declamation studies at the Royal Superior School of Dramatic Art [es] and at the Superior School of Cinema.[1][3]

With some incursions into the cinema, her career was developed mainly in theater and television. On the big screen she worked under Edgar Neville in My Street (1960),[4] with Luis César Amadori in My Last Tango (1960),[5] and Fernando Fernán Gómez in Yo la vi primero (1974).[1]

On stage, she played dozens of characters, in productions such as Duck in Orange Sauce [es] by William Douglas-Home (1972), Caimán [es] by Antonio Buero Vallejo (1981),[6] Un hombre en la puerta (1984), An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen (1985), La puerta del ángel [es] by José López Rubio and directed by Cayetano Luca de Tena [es] (1986),[7] Los tres etcéteras de Don Simón [es] by José María Pemán (1997),[8] and The Children's Hour, in a version by Fernando Méndez-Leite (2004).[1][9]

Beginning in 1956 she dubbed the voices of some of the most distinguished stars of international cinema, such as Shirley MacLaine, Liza Minnelli, Geraldine Chaplin, Ingrid Bergman, Jane Fonda,[1] Katharine Hepburn, and Jaclyn Smith in the first season of Charlie's Angels.

Radio

edit

She worked in radio, as a voice actress and as a screenwriter, on Radio Intercontinental [es] (1957–1958),[10] Radio Nacional de España, and Radio Madrid [es].

Finally, she developed a prolific career in television, especially in the 1960s and 70s, during the apogee of televised theater. She had roles on dozens of classic shows such as Estudio 1 and Novela [es]. Her work on the small screen earned her the Ondas Award in 1963.[11]
