Jorge Alberto Negrete Moreno (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxoɾxe neˈɣɾete]; 30 November 1911 – 5 December 1953) was a Mexican singer and actor.

Life and career[edit]

Negrete was born in the city of Guanajuato and had two brothers and three sisters; his father was a Mexican Army Colonel who fought with the Revolutionary faction called Northern Division (División del Norte);^[3] however, around 1920, he quit his military career and moved with his family to Mexico City. There he found a job as a math teacher in several institutions, such as the German College 'Alexander Von Humboldt'; there his sons David and Jorge studied until middle school, and as a result, they became fluent in the German language. Jorge Negrete learned other languages at the Heroico Colegio Militar (military academy of Mexico): English, French, and Italian. From an early age, Negrete demonstrated great brilliance and rapidly became a prominent student in the eyes of his teachers.

At the age of thirteen, because of misbehavior, his father David decided to enroll him in the military.^{[citation needed]} He graduated with the rank of sub-lieutenant from El Colegio Militar. This was the place where his fascination for music developed. Not only did he develop an interest for music but his military training forged him a gallant presence and character which would later benefit him in his acting career. Negrete met and studied under José Pierson, a prestigious singing professor, who became fascinated the moment he heard Negrete sing. Pierson helped Negrete develop his talent for opera and at the age of twenty Negrete began to sing for Radio XETR.^[4]

Jorge went to the United States and in 1932 recorded several operas using the stage-name Alberto Moreno.^[4] He collaborated with Xavier Cugat, earned bookings at Latin clubs, met his first wife (dancer Elisa Christy), and connected with cinematographer Ramón Peon, who cast Negrete in his first film, La Madrina del Diablo (1937) (English: 'The Devil's Godmother'). He went on to make 37 other films.^[3] Closest casino to tombstone az.

Handsome, with a very strong will and a trained, fascinating voice, he is still a top icon in Mexico, Spain, and Latin America, more than 50 years after his death. His rendition of 'México Lindo y Querido' ('Beautiful and Beloved México'), his country's unofficial anthem, is the best-known recording of the song. His career is often compared to that of Pedro Infante, another of the most popular Mexican actors from that time. The public rivalry didn't carry over to their private lives, as they were close friends until Negrete's death.

He had two marriages, both to famous actresses with whom he shared credits: Elisa Christy^[5] and María Félix. He also lived with his frequent co-star, for more than ten years. Gloria Marín co-starred in 10 out of his 44 films.

He started his career singing on the radio in 1931 in Mexico City singing operatic parts. In 1936 he signed with NBC Television for a TV program with Cuban and Mexican musicians. He returned to Mexico in 1937 to act in the film La Madrina Del Diablo ('The Devil's Godmother') and because of the success of the film he was able to sign for several more the next three years. In 1938 he starred in La Valentina with Elisa Christy and then in Juntos Pero No Revueltos.

After working in Havana and Hollywood, Negrete was called to act in ¡Ay Jalisco, No Te Rajes! ('Hey Jalisco, Don’t Back Down!') which made him an international Latin star and helped formulate the charrofilm genre. During filming he met Gloria Marín, starting their romance and the string of films they filmed together. He complemented his film career by singing rancheras with the trio Los Tres Calaveras and touring Latin America, singing at concerts and making personal appearances. He was offered the main role in El Peñón de las Ánimas (The Rock of Souls) and wanted Marín to be his co-star. In spite of his protests, newcomer María Félix became his star and eventually his wife, although they at first despised each other while filming.

Negrete was one of the founders, and the most important leaders, of the Mexican Actors Association, succeeding Cantinflas as its chairman. In 1952, actress Leticia Palma became involved in the struggle between Cantinflas and Negrete over leadership of the union, with Palma campaigning actively for Cantinflas.^{[citation needed]} Poker face monster ball tour.

On January 2, 1953, Palma was 'rescued' by Major Manuel González, who helped her get a taxi to safety while she was being pursued by an angry mob. The mob was led by Negrete, who was after Palma for having stolen documents regarding her contract violations. Palma filed assault charges on Negrete.^{[citation needed]}

Eight days later, ANDA held a special assembly to judge Palma. Cantinflas argued on her behalf, attempting to negotiate a settlement. Negrete would allow nothing less than her expulsion from the union, and Palma likewise refused to withdraw the charge of assault. Just before the vote, a number of actresses left the room in protest. The remaining members voted in favor of expulsion, thus ending Palma's film career.^{[citation needed]}

Death and aftermath[edit]

He was the first to die of the 'Tres Gallos Mexicanos', or 'Three Mexican Roosters' (as he, Pedro Infante and Javier Solís, a younger star, were called; the three died within a span of 13 years).

Thousands of fans attended his funeral and followed the hearse to the cemetery, El Panteón Jardín, where he was buried in the actors' corner. On December 5, the anniversary of his death, fans still pay tribute to 'El Charro Cantor' ('Singing Cowboy') at his tomb, and television and radio stations stage marathons of his films and songs.

The centennial of his birth was commemorated in 2011. Several tribute concerts and presentations took place throughout Mexico and some European countries with Hispanic culture and heritage.
