Argentine cultural icon Moria Casán is celebrating her 80th birthday amidst the global release of her biographical series, ‘Moria’, on Netflix. The eight-episode production, directed by Javier Van de Couter, explores her transformation from Ana María Casanova into a media powerhouse. To capture her evolving persona, the series utilizes three different actresses: Sofía Gala Castiglione, Griselda Siciliani, and Cecilia Roth.

The series delves into various aspects of her life, including her professional rise in theater, film, and television, as well as personal challenges such as her relationship with her daughter and past experiences with gender violence. It also touches upon her historical significance as an icon for the LGBTQ+ community.

For her 80th birthday, Casán opted for a private celebration with close friends and family rather than a large-scale event, citing a preference for intimacy over the exhaustion of hosting massive gatherings. Her milestone has been marked by numerous tributes from colleagues and celebrities across social media.
