FERNÁNDEZ, FREDDY EL PICHI

(1934-1995)

   the eternally-youthful "Pichi" made his screen debut in 1943, but shot to fame as the eager teenage suitor of Evita Muñoz "Chachita" in Nosotros los pobres and Ustedes los ricos. Most of his roles, even into the 1980s, saw him playing similar characters (Fernández and Muñoz later co-starred on a TV sitcom, "Nostros los Gómez"), since his appearance changed little as he aged. Fernández, who died of cancer in 1995 , received three Ariel nominations in his career - Pepe el toro (1954), Con quien andan nuestras hijas? (1957), and La ciudad de los niños (1958).
