Ramn ValdsRamn Valdéz (1923-1988) was a Mexican actor. He was born in Mexico City. At the age of two, he was moved to Ciudad Jurez, a northern border town where he and his brothers, Tin Tan, and Loco Valdez, would polish their acting skills. The four brothers would go on to become three of Latin America's most legendary comedians. Valds participated in more than 50 Mexican films. He is most remembered, however, for playing Don Ramn in the hit television show El Chavo del Ocho. Show creator and main star Chespirito was a fan of Valds, and he thought Valds was perfectly fit to play Don Ramn, who had a daughter (Chilindrina, played by Maria Antonieta de las Nieves), a person who had romantic interest in him (Doa Clotilde, played by Angelines Fernndez) and a romantic interest who slapped him across the face on every show (Doa Florinda, played by Florinda Meza). Valds also appeared prominently on Chespirito's other hit show, El Chapulín Colorado. Both El Chavo.. and El Chapulín.. became major international hits across Latin America, Spain, the United States and other, non Spanish speaking countries, giving their entire cast international fame. Ramón Valds was no exception, he would be identified as Don Ramón at many different countries he visited. In 1978, he quit Chespirito's productions, but he returned to television a few years later, with fellow Chavo del Ocho and Chapulín Colorado cast member Carlos Villagrán in ¡Ay, qu Kiko!. Ay que Kiko found little success, however, and Ramón Valds returned to work with Chespirito for a brief time during the middle 1980s. Valds also owned a circus, participating in circus acts. On August 9th, 1988, Valds passed away after a battle with lung cancer. He is one of the greatest Mexican comedians. His character in "Chavo del Ocho" was the most funny, according to a research among the show's fans. Valds, Ramn Valds, Ramn
