Biografia
Immediately following her triumph in the beauty arena, the film industry quickly took notice of her. In Wholesome Married Life, directed by Roberto Bodegas and penned by José Luis Garci, she portrayed the temptress of José Sacristán, a married man obsessed with fame. In Tocata y fuga de Lolita, by Antonio Drove, she played a rebellious girl who flaunted her stunning bust, significantly boosting the movie's popularity. During the 1970s, Spanish cinema experienced the peak of destape [a term meaning both "liberalization" and "nudity"], and Amparo Muñoz's exquisite figure starred in nine films revealing herself, including Sensualidad (Germán Lorente, 1975), Clara is the Price (Vicente Aranda, 1975), and The Other Bedchamber (Eloy de la Iglesia, 1976).
Following roles in Volvoreta (José Antonio Nieves Conde, 1976), Mauricio, mon amour (Juan Bosch, 1976), Acto de posesión (Javier Aguirre, 1977), and Del amor y de la muerte (Antonio Giménez Rico, 1977), among others, her film career took a significant turn when she began dating producer Elías Querejeta. This opened doors for her to appear in notable films such as Mama's 100th Birthday (Carlos Saura, 1979) and Dedicatoria (Jaime Chávarri, 1980), attracting the attention of other directors in Spain and Mexico, including Felipe Cazals (The Seven Cuckoos), Antonio Artero (Take That, Bitch), Pilar Miró (We Will Speak Tonight), Fernando Méndez-Leite (Summertime Sonata), Jaime Camino (The Open Balcony), Emilio Martínez Lázaro (Lulú of the Night), Imanol Uribe (The Black Moon), and Fernando León de Aranoa (Familia).
