The video of Mirtha Legrand voting in 1951 together with other great figures of the artistic environment (General Archive of the Nation)
“I am very well, I come to vote. Very happy ”, was the first thing Mirtha Legrand said last Sunday when she arrived at the assigned school in the Palermo neighborhood where she voted for PASO 2023, despite not being obliged to have to participate since she is over 70 years old. .
It was in this context that a video with old images of Chiquita voting in November 1951 when the right to women’s suffrage was established in Argentina went viral. It was a historic moment, since for the first time women exercised their right to vote and be elected representatives at the national level.
The video is in black and white, it belongs to the General Archive of the Nation and various actresses appear there exercising their civic duty. At that time, Mirtha was 24 years old and a popular Argentine movie star. Images of other colleagues also appeared, such as Zully Moreno, Lola Membrives, Fanny Navarro and Tita Merello.
At 96 years old, the lunch diva participated in the PASO with great joy and chose an elegant look with a light jacket that she combined with her scarf. “I already have everything decided a long time ago. They are dying to ask me who I vote for, right? ”, She joked in dialogue with the press who waited for her to obtain her testimony, as usually happens on each election day.

Regarding the challenge of electronic voting, Mirtha was confident. “Elvira – her collaborator who always accompanies her – is going to help me, but they told me it’s very simple,” she said regarding the new modality. In turn, she recounted that she was not following the voting on television, but rather that she was listening to the radio all morning.
In addition, he took the opportunity to leave a message for the electorate, when the journalists told him that there were many people who disbelieved. “That they come to vote, it is a citizen’s duty, it is an obligation. It is something of a lifetime. I am big and I keep coming, and I will keep coming ”, she said convinced, at 96 years old.
His return to television
The host was also asked if she would return to her classic lunches or dinners, as she has been in recent years. “We’re on it,” she said, leaving high expectations for her return to television, following months of absence. At the beginning of August, she revealed that her grandson Nacho Viale resumed talks with the authorities of El Trece to return to his classic program on Saturday nights.
According to the information released by Adrián Pallares in Socios del espectaculo -which is precisely broadcast by said channel-, the idea is that it be a weekly shipment since Juana Viale is ruled out in the negotiation, in such a way that the actress will not be at the front of the cycle on Sundays at noon, as it did until last year. Rodrigo Lussich -also host of the entertainment program- added that Nacho is in charge of the negotiations with Adrián Suar and Pablo Codevilla.
Given this version, Teleshow contacted the diva to ask her regarding it, and her response was sincere. “I know nothing. Nacho did not notify me at all. It is his system, he does not tell me anything until it is completed, ”she warned regarding the way his grandson chooses when it comes to breaking news regarding his return to Argentine television. Meanwhile, Mirtha Legrand trusts and hopes that she will solve hers soon so that she can start the 55th season on the air.
