My Take

Fernando Fernán Gómez is the kind of artist I find genuinely intimidating in scope. Actor, director, screenwriter, novelist, playwright — Spanish to the core despite being born in Lima while his actress mother toured Latin America, and ultimately elected to the Royal Spanish Academy. That last detail is what gets me: a film man taken seriously as a man of letters. The Goya, the Donostia, the Asturias Prize, a Silver Bear — he collected honors across decades and disciplines. I see him as one of those rare European figures who refused to be just one thing, and was respected precisely because he refused.

Overview

Fernando Fernández Gómez (28 August 1921 – 21 November 2007), better known as Fernando Fernán Gómez, was a Spanish actor, screenwriter, film director, theater director, novelist, and playwright. Prolific in all these fields, he was elected member of the Royal Spanish Academy in 1998. He was born in Lima, Peru while his mother, Spanish actress Carola Fernán-Gómez, was making a tour in Latin America.
