On Wednesday, it was announced that Gastón Santos Pue, a bullfighter, cattle breeder and Mexican actor known for making Western genre films between the fifties and seventies, died at the age of 92.
His son, the former Sagarpa delegate in San Luis Potosí and Lusitanian horse breeder Gastón Santos Ward, was the one who announced the sad news through his Instagram profile.
“He lived his life like few others. He had to witness and hear firsthand from those who wrote the post-revolutionary history of Mexico and he in turn made history as a bullfighter, rancher, and also as a film actor,” the businessman wrote in his publication.
Santos Ward described his father as an adventurous, intelligent man with a great personality, with which he left ‘a mark’ in the lives of all those who knew him.
What did Gastón Santos Pue die from?
In the moving message that his son dedicated to Gastón Santos Pue, he did not mention anything related to his death, so the causes of his death are unknown until now.
However, he did mention that, until the moment of his death, he showed great strength and mettle, highlighting his career as a rejoneador.
“His desire to forge his own path, with that incomparable strength that he had until his last breath, led him to become the greatest figure in Mexican bullfighting,” said the man, who was proud of his father and said goodbye to him. .
Who was Gastón Santos Pue?
Gastón Santos Pue was a bullfighter, western actor and equine rancher born in San Luis Potosí, the same place where he died on January 17.
His acting career was relatively short. Alfredo Ripstein, seeing that he had horseback riding skills, called him to sign a contract with Alameda Films and film a series of Mexican western films between 1956 and 1962, playing himself.
After ending his contract with Alameda Films he made two more films and retired from the screen to dedicate himself to bullfighting, which he also left a few years later. Among the films he recorded are:
- Bang bang al hoyo (1971).
- The Silent One (1967).
- The Indomitable (1966).
- Young and beautiful (1962).
- A bullet is my witness (1960).
- The cry of death (1959).
- The devils of terror (1959).
- Mysteries from beyond the grave (1959).
- The Age of Temptation (1959).
- The Wild Colt (1958).
- The swamp of souls (1957).
- The poisoned arrow (1957).
He was in charge of raising and training Lusitano horses for bullfighting at his La Jarrilla ranch, located in the municipality of Tamuín, San Luis Potosí.
He passed his love for horses to his family, as his son is also a renowned breeder of Lusitanian horses.
