María Susana Giménez Aubert (born 29 January 1944), known as Susana Giménez (Spanish pronunciation: [suˈsana xiˈmenes]), is an Argentine TV host, actress, model and businesswoman. In 2012, she was considered the biggest celebrity in Argentine television by the media firm that publishes her eponymous magazine.
She hosted Susana Giménez, a highly-rated television variety show in Argentina, similar in format to those of Raffaella Carrà (in Italy and Spain) and Oprah Winfrey (in the United States). In 1997, she was awarded the Golden Martín Fierro Award, and in 2002, she won the INTE award for TV Hostess of the Year.
Early life
Giménez was the daughter of María Luisa Sanders, of Irish descent, and Augusto Giménez Aubert, of Spanish descent. She had a hard childhood, tainted by her parent’s separation. She studied in Quilmes and graduated from La Anunciata Collegiate as a primary school teacher, a profession she never practised. Before becoming famous, Giménez worked as an executive secretary for a couple of years for a large factory.
Career
At 19 years old, she became a model and made her name in a TV commercial for Cadum, a brand of French soap. Most of her subsequent film career was in adult-oriented comedies, acting opposite Alberto Olmedo, Jorge Porcel, and fellow vedette Moria Casán. Giménez has acted in over 30 films, including the cult film La Mary and ten plays. In 2008, Giménez launched her magazine, Susana, published by La Nación. She is featured on the cover of every issue. She had her fashion doll and has endorsed two fragrances.
Personal life
In 1962, aged 17, she married businessman Mario Sarabayrouse. A year later, she gave birth to her only daughter, Mercedes Sarabayrouse Giménez.
In 1970 she starred in ‘La Mary’, a film directed by Daniel Tinayre, where she met Carlos Monzón, a notorious Argentine boxer with whom she started a relationship that lasted two years. For nine years, she was in a relationship with actor Ricardo Darín, who was thirteen years younger. They ended up on good terms, remaining great friends. Susana would invite the actor as her show’s first guest every year.
In 1988 she married Huberto Roviralta, a polo player, whom she divorced in 1998. She had to pay ten million dollars to Roviralta as a divorce settlement.
From her daughter Mercedes, Giménez has two grandchildren, Lucía and Manuel. In private, her family and friends call her “Su”, a practice that her fans have adopted.
