Enrique Vera

Professional bullfighter and matador born in Almer'ia, Spain on May 27th, 1933, who appeared as a leading man in a few films always playing bullfighters. In the late 1950s it seemed that his photogenic good looks would guarantee a long career in the movies. However, shortly after his most successful film "El último cuplé"(1957), he went back full time to bullfighting turning his back on the film industry. He married Isabel García, a talented designer and maker of bullfighter customs and had a son, also named Enrique. After his retirement from bullfighting in 1987, he concentrated on the family business by assisting and promoting his wife's work. He died of cardiac arrest in Madrid, Spain on February 19th, 1993.
