Regina Torné, star of Like Water for Chocolate, dies
Mexico's National Association of Actors announced her death Wednesday night. No cause or funeral details have been given.
Mexican actress Regina Torné has died, the National Association of Actors (ANDA) said in a post on X late Wednesday, Nov. 11.
The guild mourned "our colleague" Rosa Virgen del Pilar Martina Inchaustegui Anaya, who worked under the stage name Regina Torné, and sent condolences to her family, friends and fellow actors. The post gives no cause of death and no word on a wake or funeral.
Torné was one of Mexico's most prolific actresses on screen and stage. Audiences remember her above all for *Like Water for Chocolate* (1992), Alfonso Arau's film, in which she played Mamá Elena, the rigid mother of the heroine.
Neither her family nor her representative has issued a statement. Details of her farewell will come from them or from ANDA.
