Colombian actress Dora Cadavid, remembered for her role as "Inesita" in the soap opera "I Am Betty, the Ugly One", died this Monday in a clinic in Bogotá at the age of 84, her relatives confirmed to local media.
"We regret the death of the renowned actress Dora Cadavid, who through her characters on Colombian television, as well as her radio work, leaves a great legacy for our culture.
Our condolences to her family and friends," expressed the Ministry of Culture on Twitter. Cadavid, who is the aunt of actress María Cecilia Botero, entered the world of television in the 1950s and, in addition to her role in "I Am Betty, the Ugly One", stood out for her performances in productions such as "Coffee With the Scent of a Woman", "Love Like Ours", "Francisco the Mathematician", "Victoria" or "Candó".
She also acted in the movie "Love in the Time of Cholera" (2007), where she shared a cast with actors like Javier Bardem and John Leguizamo and played the mother superior.
"There is pain in my heart for the passing of my dear Dora Cadavid, who is now together with her son Moisés (who died in 2012). The great ones never die and Dora was one of the greatest on television. My Dorita, we will never forget you," the actor Fernando ‘el Flaco’ Solórzano wrote on Twitter.
