	Actors - Carmen Maura

Carmen Maura is a Spanish actress.

She was born on September 15, 1945, in Madrid, Spain. She is a descendant of the conservative Spanish politician Antonio Maura.

She headed an art gallery and appeared in various roles in nightclubs. With Tigres de papel (1977) she made her first successful film appearance, and thereafter she worked in the Spanish theatre, films and TV productions. Although she played dramatic roles, her most important genre has always been comedy, e.g. Sal gorda (1984), Sé infiel y no mires con quién (1985) or Tata mía (1986).

She regularly worked with the Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar beginning with the anarchic (for the times) film Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del montón (1980) until Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios (1988), for which she was awarded the European Film Award "Felix" as best actress.

She and Almodóvar broke up professionally (and most likely personally) during the 1990s, but they have just finished shooting Almodovar´s new film "Volver".
