Biography

Travesí was born in Argentina in December 1919 and moved to Peru with her family as a young child.[2] When she was young, she worked as an actress with her two sisters Angelita and Gloria. , She married Juan Ureta and had two daughters, Gloria Maria and Liz, and lived in the central of Lima, Peru, afterwards living in Las Magolias (a building) in the residential area of San Felipe in Jesus Maria.

Considered the "first lady of the national scene", Travesí played an integral part in the rise of Peru's film industry in the 1930s. A member of the "Amauta Films" studio she acted in several costumbrist films produced during the era. Her more popular films include: "De carne somos" in 1938, "Los Confilictos de Cordero", and "Barco Sin Rumbo" in 1940.[3]

She had a theater production company with the name of Atico 77.

In the middle of the 1980s, due to the oppressive economic situation in Peru, she moved to Madrid, Spain, where she stayed with her children.

She returned to Peru in 2003 to receive a tribute at the 6th festival of film of Lima. In addition, the Municipality of Peru paid homage to Travesí for her impeccable career.

Travesí suffered from a cerebral seizure in March 2009. She died in Madrid, Spain on July 15, 2009.[4]
