Soler, Julián

(1910-1977)

   youngest of the four Soler brothers, Julián was the only romantic leading man of the quartet. He received an Ariel nomination as Best Actor for El secreto de Juan Palomo. However, in the mid-1940s he began to cut back on his acting roles, concentrating on directing; Soler eventually directed over 80 features, mostly mainstream commercial comedies and dramas. He was married to Julieta Palavicini, and they had four children, including Juan Manuel Soler Palavicini, who had a brief career as a director in the 1970s-80s, and Fernando Soler Palavicini, who became an actor.
