CECILIA ROTH (Manuela) Born in Argentina, Cecilia Roth was exiled in Spain during the Military regime that ruled her country in the 70’s and early 80’s. During this time she began to work as an actress and had small roles in some of Almodóvar’s early films, such as “What Have I Done to Deserve This?” and “Dark Habits” as well as starring in Ivan Zulueta’s “Arrebato,” a landmark cult film of the time. After her return to Argentina, she has become one of her country’s leading actresses, participating in such local hits as “Wild Horses” and “Ashes From Paradise” (both by Marcelo Piñeyro), as well as several TV shows and stage performances. She has done some of her best work with Argentinian director Adolfo Aristarain, such as “A Place in the World,” which won the Golden Shell in San Sebastian for Best film, and “Martin” (“Hache”), for which she won the Best Actress Goya award in Spain in 1997. full Cast & Credits listing
