Verónica Llinás

Verónica Llinás (born 23 September 1960 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is a distinguished Argentine actress whose artistic footprint extends across film, television, and theater. She hails from a creatively rich family, being the daughter of writer Julio Llinás and painter Martha Peluffo, and the sister of actor Sebastián Llinás and acclaimed director Mariano Llinás, which fostered an environment steeped in cultural expression from an early age. Trained under the guidance of renowned mentors such as Agustín Alezzo, Ángel Elizondo, and Miguel Guerberoff, Llinás quickly immersed herself in the dynamic Buenos Aires theater scene, becoming a pivotal member of the legendary group Gambas al Ajillo, where she performed innovative productions at venues like the Parakultural Center, the Empire Theater, and the Cement nightclub between 1986 and 1990. Her versatility is evident in a filmography that ranges from early genre pieces like Deathstalker (1983) to critically lauded Argentine cinema such as Todas las azafatas van al cielo (2002) and the ambitious multi‑hour epic La flor (2018). Llinás not only acts but also expands her creative scope, co‑writing and co‑directing the 2015 feature La mujer de los perros, a testament to her multifaceted talent. In recent years she continues to captivate audiences, returning to the stage in June 2025 for the provocative production “Una navidad de mierda” at Teatro Premier, sharing the spotlight with Alejo García Pintos, Anita Gutiérrez, and Tomás Fonzi. Her enduring presence in Argentine entertainment, marked by relentless artistic curiosity and a commitment to collaborative work, solidifies her status as a pivotal figure in contemporary Latin American performing arts.
