Trivia

Mother of actors Juan Carlos Bonet and Mauricio Bonet.

Son Gabriel Brook committed suicide on June 14, 2004 at the age of 29.

Throughout her career, she was credited in a number of films and telenovelas, including: Bachelorette Party (1966), Even the Wind Is Afraid (1968), The Scapular (1968) and Ruby (1970), Los que ayudan a Dios (1973), Viviana (1978) and Lo que callamos las mujeres (2007-2013).

Alicia Bonet 's recognition was consolidated with her leading role in Even the Wind Is Afraid , directed by Carlos Enrique Taboada in 1968, a work that is now considered a classic of Mexican horror cinema.

She had a distinguished acting career, with the 1960s and 1970s being her most notable, but she began her acting career in the 1950s as a child and eventually made her way to the big screen.

She began her career in the late 1950s in youth theater, where she developed a solid acting foundation that would quickly lead her to the big screen, making her film debut in 1962 with "Socio de alcoba".

Bonet 's personal life was marked by her closeness to the artistic world and by episodes of profound tragedy. During the filming of Los Ángeles de Puebla in the 1960s, she met Juan Ferrara , who played a rebellious young man aspiring to become a star, while Bonet 's character was a girl from Puebla subjected to a strict, religious family. Their bond transcended the screen, and before the film's release, they married. From that union came Juan Carlos and Mauricio Bonet, who also pursued acting careers.

Her performance in Even the Wind Is Afraid (1968), directed by Carlos Enrique Taboada marked a turning point in her career. In the role of Claudia, a young student tormented by supernatural presences at a boarding school, Bonet established herself as an icon of Mexican horror cinema .

She appeared in film, theater, and television, establishing herself as one of the most representative figures of her generation in national Mexican cinema.

Her ability to portray characters of great emotional depth has positioned her as one of the most versatile actresses of her generation, having appeared in around 30 productions.

After divorcing actor Juan Ferrara, she remarried, this time to fellow actor Claudio Brook, to whom she remained until his death in 1995. With him she had two more sons, Arturo and Gabriel Brook; the latter committed suicide ( he jumped from a fourth-floor window) in 2004, at the age of 24.

Alicia Bonet 's last public appearance was in 2010, when she participated in the program "Lo que callamos las mujeres" (What Women Keep Quiet) . Since then, she has chosen to maintain a low profile, away from the spotlight that surrounded her throughout her youth and artistic maturity.

Her personal life remained reserved, in contrast to the intensity of her on-screen characters.

In 2007, she worked with a supporting role in a film remake of "Even the Wind is Afraid".

After the death of her son Gabriel, the Mexican actress stepped back from the stage and in 2010 had her last appearance on the small screen on the show ' Lo que callamos las mujeres '.
