Ruvinskis, Wolf

(Wolf Ruvinskis Manevics)

(1921-1999)

   born in Latvia but raised in Argentina, Ruvinskis came to Mexico in the 1940s as a professional wrestler. He started acting on the stage and in films late in the decade, and eventually appeared in over 100 movies, including the "Neutrón" series, La bestia magnífica (1952), and Ladrón de cadáveres (1956). He received an Ariel nomination as Best Supporting Actor for Juego limpio. Ruvinskis, who also owned restaurants and other businesses, was married two (or three) times: to Beatriz Pérez, to dancer Armida Herrera, and (some sources report) to actress Lilia Michel (several months before his death).
