Biography

Alberto Fernandez de Rosa began acting as a child. He debuted in theater at the age of eleven, participating at plays on the Teatro Liceo, under the supervision of playwright Luisa Vehil.

While not a prominent actor at first, he struggled until he was finally able to land a job in a television series, 1962's "La Familia Falcon" ("The Falcon Family"). At the age of eighteen, Fernandez de Rosa became a teen idol in Argentina.

Next, he made his first movie, "El Secreto de Monica" ("Monica's Secret"). This film proved important in Fernandez de Rosa's acting career, as it exposed him for the first time to Spain's public; Fernandez de Rosa would later participate in a significant number of productions from that European country. He also participated in "El Televisor" before 1962 was over.

Fernandez de Rosa came back to "La Familia Falcon" in 1963, this time, playing the character of "Alberto". In 1964, he played "Bobby" in "Pajarito Gomez", a successful Argentine film. He followed that work with 1965's "El Castigador" ("The Punisher"), and 1966's "Buenos Aires, Verano 1912" ("Buenos Aires in the Summer of 1912"), which was a look back at Argentina's capital city during the 1910s.

The 22 year old actor made four films in 1966. Apart from "Buenos Aires, Verano 1912", another important movie he made that year was "El Bikini Rojo" ("Red Bikini"), which enjoyed success in West Germany as well as in Argentina.

After taking a rest from filming in 1967, Fernandez de Rosa returned to the screens in 1968, participating in the Italian-Spaniard production, "Marchio dil Kriminal I" ("March of the Criminal I"). Fernandez de Rosa had by then moved to Spain; this would enable him later on to play Spaniard characters back home in Argentina. Fernandez de Rosa lived in Spain three years, during which he made a total of seventeen films.

After returning to Argentina in 1971, Fernandez de Rosa participated in his first television series, playing "Ruben" in "Niño, las Cosas Simples de la Vida" ("Boy, Simpler Things in Life"). By then, Fernandez de Rosa had gone from being a teen idol to becoming a critically respected actor, both in Argentina and in Spain. After one more movie, Fernandez de Rosa participated in "La Ultima Señora Anderson", a movie that was shown in the United States as "Death at the Deep End of the Swimming Pool". "La Ultima Señora Anderson" was also shown in movie theaters at Italy. In some United States markets, the movie was given the title "The Fourth Victim".

Fernandez de Rosa participated in "Destino de un Capricho" ("A Wish's Destiny") in 1972, then returned to Spain briefly in 1973 to film "Don Quijote Cabalga de Nuevo" ("Don Quijote Rides Again"). In that film, he played a character named almost exactly like him, "Alberto Fernandez".

Fernandez de Rosa began 1973 by making another movie, then established himself in West Germany for a small period, having been contracted by an important television network to participate in a sitcom. He acted in 26 episodes of a series named "Kara Bem Nemsi Effendi". After that, Fernandez de Rosa returned to Spain, where he made "Manolo, la Nuit" ("Manolo by Night") and two other films before that year was over.

In 1974, Fernandez de Rosa participated in what was arguably his most successful film: "El Insolito Embarazo de los Martinez" ("The Martinez family's Strange Pregnancy") was a very successful hit both in Spain and in Latin America. A comedy movie about a man who became impregnated by his wife, "El Insolito Embarazo de los Martinez" later on became the inspiration for the Hollywood movie, "Junior". "El Insolito Embarazo de los Martinez"'s story was set in Argentina but filmed in Spain.

1974 in particular was a very busy year for Fernandez de Rosa: he made seven more movies, including "Yo la vi Primero", "El Reprimido" and "Los Nuevos Españoles", which were released in English as "I Saw Her First", "The Repressed Man" and "The New Spaniards", respectively.

In 1975, Fernandez de Rosa acted in the international hit, "El Poder del Deseo" ("Power of Desire"). "El Poder del Deseo" also gave Fernandez de Rosa international exposition, as it was shown in many Hispanic and English-speaking countries. 1975 was another busy year for Fernandez de Rosa; he participated in "Los Casados y la Menor" ("The Married Couple and the Minor"), "Mi Mujer es muy Decente, Dentro de lo que Cabe" ("My Wife is Decent, Depending on what Decent Is"), "La Guerra del Cerdo" ("Diary of a Pig War") and in an episode of a television series named "Las Sorpresas" ("Surprises").

1976 was another year where Fernandez de Rosa worked very hard, participating in a total of five films. These included "Tiempos Duros Para Dracula" ("Hard Tomes for Dracula"), which was a horror-comedy, "Retrato de Familia" ("Family Portrait, which became a hit in some English speaking countries; Fernadez de Rosa played "Hipolito" in that show), "La Mujer es Cosa de Hombres" ("Women are for Men"), "Juan que Reia" ("Juan, the Man That Laughed"), and "Las Camareras" ("Female Flight Attendants").
