Marian Pabón
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marian Pabón (born c. 1957) is a noted Puerto Rican actress.
Pabón grew used to life in the spotlight: her father, Mario Pabón, was one of Puerto Rico's most famous actors and directors. She was named after him; her family used the name "Marian" as a version of "Mario".
Pabón was one of Puerto Rico's most prolific actresses when telenovelas were produced there. Pabón was active in these Spanish soap operas until 1989, when the last Puerto Rican telenovela was produced.
Pabón also had a long theater career that spanned about a decade when the Puerto Rican telenovelas ceased producing. She had to turn to comedy instead, and, since 1993, she has starred alongside Rene Monclova, among others, in Sunshine Logroño's television comedy, El Condominio. In this series she portrays a Puerto Rican-American.
Controversy arose in 2004 over whether that show should be cancelled because Tony Mojena had been the show's original producer, Pabón stuck by Logroño, defending the show as a workhouse for her fellow Puerto Rican co-stars.
Pabón has kept participating in theatre shows. She was involved in several of San Juan's most important plays of the 1990s, and she has toured Puerto Rico as a stage actress. She keeps involved in theater, and, with the possibility of El Condominio disappearing from Puerto Rican television, she also participates in a play of the same name, which includes the same actors and characters that participate in the television show.
Pabón also participated Puerto Rican films such as Desvío al Paraiso (Wrong Way to Paradise) and "Casi casi". This last film was written and directed by her nephews Tony Vallés and Jaime Vallés.
