What happens

Sara Rita de la Luz García (3 September 1892 – 21 November 1980) was a Mexican actress and comedian who made her biggest mark during the "Golden Age of Mexican cinema". During the 1940s and 1950s, she often played the part of a no-nonsense but lovable grandmother in numerous Mexican films. In later years, she played parts in Mexican telenovelas. García is remembered by her nickname, La Abuelita de México ("Mexico's Grandmother"). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
