Сareer[edit]
The play, which had generated enormous expectation, was a tremendous failure that led to the ruin of the company, but which Margarita will remember as "the most glorious defeat of all our lives". They toured Spain with Maya, by Simon Gantillon, adapted by Azorín. At the Teatro Cómico in Madrid they premiered "Inri", a play in original verse by Gonzalo Delgrás. In 1932 she travels to Paris, hired by Paramount to dub in Spanish for Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich, among other great stars. In 1934, Gonzalo Delgrás was hired to direct the new Metro-Goldwyn Mayer dubbing studios in Barcelona. During the Spanish Civil War, he dubbed several films from the Soviet Union. From 1940, she combined her work as an actress with those of scriptwriter and dialogue writer, mainly in films directed by her husband.6 She remained active until the 1970s. She was the mother of four children: Gonzalo, Margarita, José Manuel and Maria Paz.
In 1982, she published her autobiography entitled "Mis ochenta y ocho añitos" ("My Eighty-Eight Years").[3]
