The Almería Western Museum of Cinema (Bar Ambrosio in the
San Rafael Polygon in Huércal de Almería) today offered a tribute to actor
Eduardo Fajardo at 9:00 p.m. A star was given with his name, a diploma and a
party thrown in his honor, the writer José Enrique Martínez was intervened.
Veteran actor Eduardo Martínez Fajardo was born in Meis,
Pontevedra. Within a few days of life his parents moved to La Rioja, his
childhood will pass in Haro, where he confessed to feeling very good being
still a teenager he moved to Santander, where he studied for his Baccalaureate.
In 1942 he began his acting career, starting as a voice actor that continues
until 1946.
With Cifesa he signed a contract as an exclusive actor
for several years which gave him great successes; he debuted in the cinema with
the film Heroes of 95, by Raúl Alfonso (1947), inaugurating in this way one of
the most bulky filmographies of Spanish cinema, which reaches over 180 titles.
His cinematographic career, at first stage was limited to
supporting roles in films that did reach certain prominence in his time as
Locura de amor (1948), Juan de Orduña, Balarrasa (1950), José Antonio Nieves
Conde or Alba de América (1951), by Juan de Orduña.
In 1953 he moved to Mexico, where he combined his
participation in the cinemawith that country with television appearances; among
them Tehuantepec by Miguel Contreras Torres (1954), Tizoc: Indian love by
Ismael Rodríguez Ruelas (1957). On his return to Spain he resumed his film
career with a frenetic activity that leads him to shoot an average of fifteen
titles per year in which the roles of a villain abound in Spaghetti westerns
such as The Seventh Cavalry (1965) by Martin Herbert and Django (1966) ) by
Sergio Corbucci.
In his last years of professional activity, he combined
film and dubbing with appearances on television (La Barraca, 1979, Los gozos y
las sombras, 1982; Tristeza de amor, 1986) y teatro, en el que pasó de la
actuación (Cándida, 1985), The joys and shadows, 1982, Tristeza de amor, 1986)
and theater, in which he went from acting ( Cándida, 1986), to direction, with
the project Theater without barriers for people with disabilities, of which he
has been responsible since 2002. In this last decade he has been seen in
tributes to colleagues in film and theater festivals with the enviable state of
health.
He has worked on 183 films, 75 plays and some 2,000
interventions on television in Spain and Mexico, as well as participating in
productions in Italy, Germany, France, Great Britain and the United States.
Currently, he has been living for many years in Almeria (known throughout the
world as the land of cinema), where he has made so many films. It has been in
Almeria where he inaugurated the 'Paseo de las Estrellas'.
