Hortensio Quijano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Juan Hortensio Quijano (died April 3, 1952) was the Vice-President of Argentina under President Juan Perón from 1946 until his 1952 death in Buenos Aires.[1][2] Before that, he served as the Minister of the Interior.[3] By the time Eva Perón withdrew her vice presidential candidacy in late 1951, due to her failing health, Quijano was in worse health than the First Lady. However, after she pleaded him personaly he reluctatly agreed to join the 1952 Perón ticket. He died in early April, before being re-inagurated. At the inaguration two months later, Evita, now heading swiftly for death and bearing the title Spiritual Chief of the Argentine Nation, took his place.
In the 1996 film Evita, he was played by Brian Cobby.[4]
