Rosa María Juana Martínez Suárez (born 23 February 1927), known by her stage name Mirtha Legrand (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmiɾta leˈɣɾan]; from the French le grand, "the great"),[1] is an Argentine actress and television presenter. With an 80-year career,[2][3] Legrand is one of the most recognized entertainment figures in Argentina.[4] Despite having appeared in 36 films and 20 theatrical performances, Legrand is best known for her interview television programme Almorzando con las estrellas (Having Lunch with Stars), which first aired in 1968 on Alejandro Romay's Channel 9. The show was later renamed Almorzando con Mirtha Legrand (Having Lunch with Mirtha Legrand).[5]
