Rosita, the only daughter of presenter Luis Manuel Pelayo, was born in Mexico City in 1958. Her father was the voice of the superhero Kalimán on radio and the host of the game show “Sube Pelayo Sube,” which dominated Mexican television in the 1950s. 70.
But she didn't like that because she saw different treatment towards her.
“If I were pulled over, the police would say he once entered a competition, won a blender and used it to open a juice shop. “Then he let me go, but no, I wanted the violation,” Pelayo said on the show “The Moment That Changed My Destiny.”
Of course he had the spectacle in his blood. With the idea of doing cabaret, she joined Emma Pulido's dance group. He even played a show with Lyn May, who was one of the strongest of her time. And he did radio with “Odisea Burbujas”.
One day the producer Luis de Llano met her and invited her to “Cachún Cachún Ra Ra Ra!”, a weekly show that was a talent factory for Televisa, where Alma Delfina, Lupita Sandoval, Fernando Arau and Lili Garza appeared, among others Gerardo Gonzalez.
She spent six years on the show, but because she was in love with someone she never revealed, she didn't take part in the show's actors' tours.
In several interviews he admitted that some members of “Cachún” used drugs, but that didn't interest him.
“I avoided them because they actually scared me. I thought, 'I don't know what I'm going to feel, I'm not going to have control, and it scared me,' but I never went into it; But my tequilita does, yes, and a cigarette too, I think that in the 80s most people smoked,” he told EL UNIVERSAL.
Her second marriage was to fellow actor Jaime Garza for six years.
The illnesses of Rosita Pelayo
When she was 20, she was diagnosed with arthritis, which doctors treated medically, but by 2008 she could no longer bear the pain and every year the numbness in her hands and legs increased (paresthesia), so much so that she could no longer move her fingers .
“It started to be a nightmare in life,” recalls Pelayo, who was helped to walk and stand up four years ago.
There came a time, she told Gustavo Adolfo Infante, when she asked God that if he would not take care of her, he had better take her away.
This year, his problems worsened when he was diagnosed with colon cancer, so he underwent chemotherapy, which his doctor said he responded well to.
He was scheduled to undergo surgery in 2024 to remove three tumors. And she was looking forward to the play “A Vuelta de Rueda”, in which she would share the scene with Juan Carlos Colombo and Rafa Perrín in the direction.
He leaves behind a filmography of almost 40 television works, including “Salomé”, “Carita de Ángel” and “La fea más bella” as well as the series “El César” and “Las Amazonas”.
