Rivero, Jorge

(Jorge Pous Ribe)

(1938 or 1940? - )

   handsome and muscular leading man, on-screen from the mid-1960s (ironically, in his debut film - El asesino invisible - he played a masked wrestler and his face was never shown). Rivero soon became a sex symbol and a major box-office star, from the late 1960s into the 1980s. Since then he has worked only occasionally in Mexican films and telenovelas (he has lived in Southern California for more than a decade), but shows up in international productions, sometimes billed as "George Rivero."
