Rosa María Juana Martínez Suárez (born 23 February 1927), known by her stage name Mirtha Legrand (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmiɾta leˈɣɾan]; from the French le grand, "the great"),[1] is an Argentine actress and television presenter. With an 80-year career,[2][3] Legrand is one of the most recognized entertainment figures in Argentina.[4] Legrand made her leading role debut in Los martes, orquídeas (1941) at only age 14,[citation needed] and soon became one of the definitive actresses of the Golden Age of Argentine cinema, with numerous starring roles in the 1940s and 1950s. Legrand is also widely known for her interview television programme Almorzando con las estrellas (Having Lunch with Stars), which first aired in 1968 on Alejandro Romay's Channel 9. The show was later renamed Almorzando con Mirtha Legrand (Having Lunch with Mirtha Legrand).[5]
