  • Actress Verónica Castro visited La Casa del Actor, a residence for retired actors in Mexico City.

  • Castro, who is largely retired from television and film, spoke about accepting aging with pride.

Mexican actress Verónica Castro made a surprise visit to La Casa del Actor, a retirement home in Mexico City dedicated to providing care for elderly, retired actors. The residence, established in 1944, aims to offer a dignified old age to performers from the Mexican film industry.

Castro, affectionately known as "La Vero," spent time with the residents, including Lucila Mariscal, an actress she collaborated with on the 1993 telenovela "Valentina" and the 1990 film "Dios se lo pague." The visit followed Castro's recent appearance at a Pride event where she was crowned "Reina de Corazones."

La Casa del Actor shared photos and expressed gratitude for Castro's visit, noting the joy she brought to the residents. Castro, 73, has been largely absent from television and film projects for several years, though she has not formally announced her retirement. Mariscal, 84, has resided at the home since December 2025, seeking refuge from loneliness, lack of work, and financial difficulties.

Reflecting on aging, Castro has previously stated that she accepts it with pride, embracing her gray hair and wrinkles. However, she also acknowledged that reaching old age is a challenging phase requiring care and protection.

The day today was a wonderful day as we had the visit of Verónica Castro filling all our guests with joy.
