The Colombian entertainment industry woke up in mourning after confirming the death of actor Carlos Barbosa Romero, one of the most beloved and respected figures on national television and theater. The performer died on the night of October 9 at the age of 81, leaving behind an invaluable legacy in the artistic world.
Born in Cali, on January 15, 1944, Barbosa graduated as an architect from the Universidad del Valle, but his true vocation took him on another path. It was the theater that awakened his passion for acting, a passion that ended up marking his life and that of many generations of artists.
With a solid and diverse career, Carlos Barbosa became synonymous with talent, discipline and acting sensitivity. Not only did he shine in front of the cameras, but he also dedicated himself to training new talents, sharing his knowledge with those who today continue his legacy in television and theater.
His career was full of memorable moments. He was nominated at the India Catalina Awards in the Best Actor category for his performances in productions such as ‘Pasiones Secretas’ and ‘El Divino’, both from Caracol Televisión, where he won the affection of the public for his naturalness and his ability to embody unique characters.
According to the information shared by his romantic partner, Miriam Bohórquez, and revealed on the Caracol Televisión program La Red, the actor had been suffering from multiple myeloma for some time, a type of cancer that affects the plasma cells of the bone marrow. The disease deteriorated his health until he died on the night of October 9. His death was confirmed a couple of hours later.
Social networks were filled with farewell messages from actors, directors and followers who remembered his affection, his humility and his commitment to art. Many highlighted his contribution to the development of acting in Colombia and his role as a teacher of future generations.
