“Reina but does not rule”, a title, a woman and a cover, an image that remains present in the popular imaginary despite the passage of time. It was one of the most emblematic news covers and had the former Menemist official María Julía Alsogarayas the only protagonist. 35 years later, it was recreated by Monica Antonopulos In the biographical series of Carlos Saúl Menem that will be released by prime video on July 9.
But what is the story of that photo that, as it would be said today, “went viral” in July 1990. It was a cold night in the woods, famous and politicians agreed on those novel parties. Champagne and flashes. A risueña and powerful Maria. A leather cover of Graciela Borges, which the actress lent the official, a compliment from Susana Giménez who finished convincing the protagonist of the posing cover before the lens of the experienced photographer Osvaldo Dubini. And so, between laughs and flashes, the photo that fired the sales of this magazine and portrayed an era by putting the frivolity with which the policy emerged at that time.
A little of the back of that lid can be seen recreated in the trailer that was known today of “Menem”, the series that portrays life of the ex -president, from its humble origins in La Rioja until its arrival at the presidency of Argentina during the 80s and 90s, with Leonardo Sbaraglia as the protagonist and Ariel Winograd In the address.
The cast is completed by Griselda Siciliani, who plays Zulema Yoma, Menem’s wife, while actors such as Juan Minujín, Marco Antonio Caponi, Agustín Sullivan, Cumelén Sanz, Guillermo Arango, Campi and Monica Antonópulos, in the role of María Julia Alsogaray complete the cast, giving life to the key figures of the express president.
