Montserrat Prous

Montserrat Prous, a distinguished Catalan actress, made her mark in the film industry from the 1960s to the 1980s, showcasing her versatility across various genres, particularly in horror. Throughout her career, she became a prominent figure in the works of celebrated filmmaker Jesús Franco, featuring in several films that have since achieved cult status, including "The Sinister Eyes of Dr. Orloff" (1973) and "A Grave Silence" (1972).

After a successful run in the cinematic world, Prous stepped away from acting in the 1990s, choosing to focus on different pursuits. It wasn't until director Javier Pueyo from Mallorca approached her to feature in a documentary that she returned to the spotlight. Pueyo, a fan of Franco’s oeuvre, expressed his admiration for Prous, stating that her contributions during that era were among his favorites in the director's expansive body of work. He praised her ability to excel not just in horror but also in comedies, thrillers, and musical theater, highlighting her remarkable range as an actress. For Prous, participating in the documentary was a significant and cherished opportunity to revisit her artistic journey, solidifying her legacy in the world of film.
