Biography
Daughter of actors Ismael Merlo Piquer and María Luisa Colomina Domingo,[1] she continued the family artistic tradition since she was very young, making her debut as a dancer in the show Te espero en el Eslava, by Luis Escobar Kirkpatrick.[2]
She was married to the actor Carlos Larrañaga for 15 years,[1][3] they separated in 1975 and obtained a divorce in November 1983. They had three children: Amparo, Luis and Pedro, as well as the eldest, Juan Carlos, from Carlos previous marriage.[4] In 1992 she married university professor Michael Kenton, from whom she divorced five years later.[5]

She made her cinema debut in 1959, with José María Forqué, in the film De espaldas a la puerta.[1] Other titles followed during the first half of the sixties, such as Siempre es domingo (1961), by Fernando Palacios, Cuidado con las personas formales (1961), by Agustín Palacios, Más bonita que ninguna (1965), by Luis César Amadori, with Rocío Dúrcal, or De cuerpo presente (1967), by Antonio Eceiza.

Since the mid-sixties she has become a regular face on Spanish television, playing dozens of roles in Primera fila, Novela and Estudio 1.[6]
In 1973 she starred alongside her then-husband Carlos Larrañaga in the comedy Compañera te doy, also for TVE; 13 years later she played Julia's mother Rosa, played by her daughter in real life Amparo Larrañaga in the series Media naranja; and in 2006 she did the same with her other son, Luis Merlo, giving life to Leonor, Mauri's mother, in Aquí no hay quien viva.
