XIRGU Margarita 18.6.1888 - 25.4.1969
Španska gledališka igralka je bila zelo popularna tako v Španiji kot državah Južne Amerike. Bila je prijateljica pesnika Garcie Lorke. Zato je v času Frankove diktature migrirala. Kasneje se je sicer vrnila, vendar je še vedno igrala v Ameriki.     

She was a Spanish stage actress, who was greatly popular throughout her country and Latin America. A friend of the poet Federico García Lorca, she was forced into exile during Francisco Franco's dictatorship of Spain, but continued her work in America. Notable plays in which she appeared include Como tú me Deseas, La Casa de Bernarda Alba, and Mariana Pineda. She starred in the 1938 Spanish film version of Garcia Lorca's Bodas de sangre, the only film version of a Garcia Lorca play to star an actress who was a personal friend of the author and who had appeared in his works onstage. It is Ms. Xirgu's only sound film, and it has never been shown on American television or released on video.
