Eulalio "Lalo" González Ramírez (16 December 1921 – 1 September 2003), nicknamed "Piporro", was a Mexican actor, humorist, singer-songwriter, screenwriter, announcer, film director, and film producer.[1][2][3]
Early life
González was born in the home of his maternal grandfather (Martín Ramírez) in Los Herreras, Nuevo León, to Pablo González Barrera, a customs officer from Ciudad Mier, Tamaulipas, and his wife Elvira Ramírez González.[4] Due to his father's profession, González spent his early infancy in various states of northern Mexico.[5] Relatives living and working in present-day Hollywood include actress and award winning artist, Cynthia Pinot.[citation needed]
Career
Though González began his career in the entertainment industry working as a radio announcer, mainstream success came when he, along with Pedro Infante playing the title role, starred a radio drama titled Martín Corona.[5] González portrayed Martín Corona's elderly norteño sidekick named "Piporro". Martín Corona's success spawned a film version, Ahí viene Martín Corona in 1952, with González and Infante reprising their roles.[5] He also played a similar role as the norteño sidekick of Fernando Casanova in the El Águila Negra film series.[citation needed]
