Susana Gimenez Susana Giménez (born MarÃa Susana Giménez Aubert on January 29, 1945 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine actress and Diva. Giménez started her career as a scantily-clad model in a soap commercial (where she sat on a rock, and uttered the word shock!) and went on to achieve fame as a vedette with the legendary Nelida Roca, also as a film actress, and TV hostess and producer. Most of her filming career was in adult-oriented comedies, acting opposite Alberto Olmedo, Jorge Porcel, and fellow vedette Moria Casán.
In the 1970s, she dated middleweight boxing champion Carlos Monzon, in a widely publicized romance. Their liaison ended in 1978.
Giménez is the host of a highly-rated television variety show in Argentina, similar in format to those of Veronica Castro (in Mexico) and Raffaella Carra (in Italy and Spain). Giménez entered the Guinness Book of Records because she gave away more than five million dollars in one of her shows.
In October, 2003, Giménez was involved in a much-publicized situation when singer Julio Iglesias kissed her on the mouth repeatedly during a live broadcast.
She is a very good friend of Viggo Mortensen. They always kissed every time they see each other in her TV show.
In November 30, 2005 she finished the 18th Season of her show. It's unknown if she will be back next year. She might make a movie.
