Biography

Rebeca Iturbide Betancourt was born on 21 May 1924 in El Paso, Texas to Mexican parents. In the 1950s, she began working in films. Her first roles were in 1950 in "Doña Diabla" and "La mujer que yo amé". In 1951, she got the opportunity to play opposite Germán Valdés in the film "El Revoltoso", which is considered one of his best films. That role led to another joint project with Valdéz, "¡Ay amor... cómo me has puesto!".

She had a reputation for versatility and appeared in adventures, comedies, melodramas and mystery films. Iturbide's most memorable movies included “La noche avanza” (1951), “Mujeres sin mañana” (1951), “El corazón y la espada” (1953), “Yo no creo en los hombres" (1954), and “Furia en el paraíso" (1955).

Iturbide was an early performer in television, having her first part in 1955, playing Clare Graham in an episode of "Sheena: Queen of the Jungle". In 1965, she practiced her hand at writing and wrote the script for the film, "Raíces en el infierno", which was directed by Myron J. Gold.

In 1976 she was in an accident and broke her spine. She retired to the ANDA Casa del Actor (Actor's Home) and lived there for the last twelve years of her life. While there, she painted and in addition to doing exhibits at places like the Modern Art Café at Plaza Loreto, she sold them and used the proceeds to help support the Actor's Home.

Rebeca had four children; three of them with the tennis player Federico Sendel, who she married in 1943. Their children were: the journalist Virginia Sendel, president of the Michou and Mau Foundation Private Assistance Institution (IAP), which helps Mexican children who have been burned; and twins George and Frederick Sendel; her other son is Eduardo Torres Izabal.
