Guízar, Tito
(1908-1999)
   singer/actor who got his start in Mexico in the 1930s, moved to Hollywood late in the decade, then returned to Mexico in middle of the '40s. Married to the daughter of actor Manolo Noriega. His cousin Susana was a popular film actress of the '40s; Pepe (1906-1981), another cousin (some sources say his broher), was a prolific singer and composer of rancheras; Tito's daughter, Lilia Guízar, was a starlet in the '50s. Guízar was mostly off-screen from the late '50s, but he made occasional appearances thereafter (cf, Rosendo Fierro, el correo de Villa in 1984, and the all-star Reclusorio in 1995), and played Thalía's grandfather in the 1994 telenovela "Marimar."
