Biography

Carmen Sofía Álvarez Caicedo, known professionally as Sofía Álvarez (born May 23, 1913, in Bogotá, Colombia – died April 30, 1985, in Mexico City, Mexico), was a Mexican film actress and singer of Colombian origin.

Raised in Colombia, she relocated to Mexico with her family in 1928. She made her film debut with a minor role as a prostitute in Santa (1930), the first Mexican sound film. Nicknamed "the lady of the long braids," she gained popularity as both an actress and singer throughout the 1930s and 1940s. Álvarez starred alongside Mario Moreno "Cantinflas" in the well-known film Ahí está el detalle (1940). During the 1940s, she was often cast as elegant women in movies such as El sombrero de tres picos and México de mis recuerdos (1943). She appeared with the celebrated Pedro Infante in three films: Si me han de matar mañana (1946), La barca de oro (1947), and Soy charro de Rancho Grande (1947). One of her most acclaimed films was La Reina de la Opereta (1945). In 1950, she left the film industry to focus on radio singing but returned to cinema from 1957 to 1966 before retiring from the stage. Her final film role was in El Gángster (1965), alongside Arturo de Córdova. Sofía Álvarez was recognized for her exceptional voice and the delicate features that defined her characters.
