Before the end of Wednesday, February 14, the death of Mexican actress and vedette, Sasha Montenegro at the age of 78 was reported.
It was her daughter, Nabila Lopez Portillo, who confirmed the news.
The widow of the former president of Mexico, Jose Lopez Portillo, died of a stroke caused by the lung cancer she had been suffering from for several years.
Aleksandra Aimovi Popovi, better known as Sasha Montenegro, was born on January 20, 1946 in Bari, Italy, although her parents were originally from Yugoslavia.
The celebrity belongs to the aristocratic family of Montenegro, hence her stage name, who were killed in a Nazi concentration camp in World War II.
She stood out in the early 70’s when she was only 23 years old. Little by little she began to gain popularity as she began to work in more films and even soap operas, although many remember her for her controversial romance with Jose Lopez Portillo, former president of Mexico.
During the 1970s and 1980s she was considered one of the most important actresses in Mexican cinema, as well as a vedette.
