MODESTO LLOSAS ROSELL (Aldaya, Valencia, November 24, 1920-Mexico City, April 21, 1972), known as JORGE MISTRAL, was a Spanish actor. He made foreign cinema in Mexico, a country where he made several films.

Biography and career

After prematurely abandoning his law career, he decided to dedicate himself to the theater where he began to develop the role of heartthrob, which he would not abandon throughout his career. He would subsequently join the theater companies of José Rivero, Ana Adamuz and Josita Hernán.

He made his film debut in 1944 in the film The Call of the Sea by director José Gaspar. At that time, I signed an exclusive contract with what was then the most powerful producer in the country: Cifesa.

In 1949 he made his first theatrical tour of Latin America, where he was very successful and went on to develop a large part of his acting career, especially in Mexico.

In the 1940s and 1950s he participated in some of the most popular Spanish films, such as Pequeñeces, Locura de amor (with Aurora Bautista and Fernando Rey), the 1952 version of La Sister San Sulpicio (with Carmen Sevilla) and one of the older Sara Montiel’s successes: Carmen la de Ronda.

He also had leading roles in Mexican and international productions, such as Camelia (with María Félix), Deseada (with Dolores del Río), Cabo de Hornos (with Silvia Pinal), Boy on a Dolphin (with Sophia Loren), Cuentos de verano (with Sylva Koscina) and La spada e la croce (with Yvonne De Carlo and Rossana Podestà).

In the 1960s, I have tried to make the leap to filmmaking with the films La Fever del Desire (1964) and La Piel Naked (1964).

On April 21, 1972, he committed suicide in Mexico, after a depressive period, aggravated by a duodenal cancer that he had suffered for some time, when he was making the Mexican telenovela Hermanos Coraje, which was broadcast on Televisión Independiente de México (TIM ), Channel 8.
