Early years
María Francisca Isabel Cano Damián was born on 28 February 1944 in Huetamo de Núñez, Michoacán, the second of the six children of Francisco Cano Romero and Aurelia Damián Espinoza.
In 1961, supported by publicist Jaime Valdés, she took part in an acting workshop taught by Seki Sano, which led to her debut as an actress in the play Baby Doll and to film the movie El cielo y la tierra, released in 1962. That same year, she entered to the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) to pursue a degree in psychology, which she eventually abandoned, since she had made contacts in the entertainment industry that allowed her, instead, to pursue a professional career as an artist.
