María Gracia Morales Carvajal (11 November 1928 – 3 April 1995) better known as Gracita Morales was a classic Spanish film actress with a famous high-pitched voice.[1] She was one of the most popular Spanish actresses of the 1960s and 1970s, in both leading and supporting roles.[1] Some of her more notable films included Atraco a las tres (1962, as Enriqueta), Sor Citroën (1967), and ¡Cómo está el servicio! (1968).[1] She acted in many films as a maid.[citation needed] By the end of the 1970s she had performed in nearly 100 films.[1] After this her health declined and her career diminished as she battled severe depression and addiction to pills.[1] She remained active as a stage actress up until 1991.[1] She died in Madrid on April 3, 1995 of respiratory failure.[1]
