Born on December 16, 1926 in Tampico, Tamaulipas, México. Mauricio Garces, known in Spanish as "The Silver Fox" and noted as "The Eternal Seductor", single-handly brought Mexican theater comedy to a sexy and stylish turn during the late 50s and throughout the 60s. He grew up in a Lebanese family, from which famous photographers surged. His uncle Tufi Yasbek (a popular cinema celebries' portrayer) was the one who introduced young Mauricio to the world of Mexican luminaries's scene.
His career as an actor was encouraged by the help of his other uncle, producer José Yásbek, whom included Garces in the cast of the movie "La muerte Enamorada" (1950), comedy staring Miroslava and Fernado Fernandez. Since that movie, Mauricio adopted his artistic name "Garces". Mauricio Férez Yásbek, created his Alias "Garces" to honor his conviction that the letter G would be a good luck charm, and maybe it would make a star out of him such as the case of his personal heroes: Clark Gable, Gary Cooper and Cary Grant.
The elegant, worldly, and liberal character which made him famous started thanks to the vision of the producer Angélica Ortiz (mother of the actress Angélica María) who hired Mauricio to star "Don Juan 67" (1966) first of a series of movies in which he played his alter-ego "Mauricio Galán".
On February 27, 1989, Mauricio Garces passed away in Mexico City, Mexico D.F., Mexico. The cause of death was emphysema.
