Actress and dubbing actress, Marian Salgado was born in Chile, but has lived in Spain since she was 6 years old. Since her arrival, she began a professional career in television and radio marked by strong economic needs. An absent father and a mother who brings her to Spain to make her the family's breadwinner, convinced of her possibilities in the scenic field, marked her first professional life. Her beginnings go back to her mother's work with Marcelo Bravo, a fellow countryman from Chile, who was a television director looking for a girl for La Muñeca (Spain, RTVE), starring Sancho Gracia. Through tours in Spain and abroad, Marian Salgado was carving a name for herself and a future in cinema, theater, physicist or television in Studio 1 (TVE, 1965-1984).
In this decade of the 70's, her cinematic destiny led her to four milestones of great interest for lovers of fantastic cinema. Salgado was also one of the dubbing voices of Regan, the possessed young girl in the horror film par excellence, The Exorcist (USA 1973), by William Friedkin. She was selected for this role at the age of 10 and it was her debut in the movies, in a dubbing team led by none other than the great Fernando Rey.
She was also the young protagonist of La Endemoniada (Spain, 1975), the emblematic film written and directed by the specialist Amando de Ossorio. This film led her to a small role in The Strange Love of Vampires (Spain, 1975), by Leon Klimowski. She also played the perverse infanta in ¿Quién puede matar a un niño? ( Spain, 1976), directed by Narciso Ibáñez Serrador in a brief but intense role. That filming coincided with a double feature at the Arniches Theater called The most beautiful woman in the worldwhere he shared the bill with José María Prada and Julia Martínez.
With the arrival of democracy, a wave of uncovering began in which a girl between 13 and 14 years of age definitely did not fit in, and life took her to other professional latitudes.
Salgado has a career as a writer that she enjoys very much and which highlights the fact that she has written about her personal and professional experiences in the book The Journalist's Daughter, autobiography of the daughter of fantaterror (Applehead Team Creaciones, 2020). She has recently starred in the short film Angustias (Spain, 2023) directed by Aída Cordero.
