Susana Pérez shared on her social media photographs of when she was 16 years old, accompanied by a reflection that moved her followers, not only because of the words themselves but also due to the beauty that had already shone in her since her teenage years.
"This is me at 16, 90 pounds of bones and all the dreams of a life I didn't yet know... I'll leave it at that," the artist shared on Instagram along with the snapshots.
The images date back to around 1968, when the actress born in Havana was just beginning to discover the world that would make her one of the most beloved faces on Cuban screens decades later.
The post sparked an avalanche of affection in the comments. "Always beautiful," wrote a follower. Another added, "Beautiful as always, talented, educated, with strong principles, may God bless you always." A third voice summarized the general sentiment: "Always beautiful in all your stages."
It's not the first time the actress has turned to her personal archive to connect with her community. More than four decades ago, she debuted as a leading actress on Cuban television, captivating an entire generation of viewers with her talent and presence.
Among his most remembered works are telenovelas such as Sol de Batey (1985), considered one of the most popular of all time in Cuba, and Las impuras (1984), in addition to television adaptations of classics such as El rojo y el negro, Teresa Raquin, and Cumbres borrascosas.
Her career was not without its clashes with power. The film Techo de vidrio (1981) was censored by the regime, an episode that the actress has publicly recalled on more than one occasion.
Since 2008, she has lived in Miami, where she maintains an active presence on social media and in theater.
The actress has a habit of sharing images from her past with her followers. On a previous occasion, she posted an old photo with her son Roberto San Martín when he was a child, which also sparked a wave of nostalgia among her fans.
At nearly 74 years old, the actress continues to captivate those who admire her with the same natural charm as always. As one of her followers summarized in response to the photos at 16: "Beautiful at all times."
