The original biography for Paulina Galvez...

Paulina Galvez
On QUEEN OF SWORDS, Paulina Gálvez plays Marta, a gypsy with mystic powers and wisdom who is Tessa’s long-time servant and confidante. The only person who knows the young woman’s secret identity, Marta doles out equal parts love, sage advice and Tarot card prophecies, in an effort to protect her beautiful charge in the fight against injustice.

Gálvez, an accomplished Spanish actress, made her debut as the star of Amalio Cuevas’ feature film Bazar Viena. Soon, she was juggling film, television and stage projects, creating a name for herself in Spain’s artistic community.

Since her debut ten years ago, Gálvez has starred in numerous theatrical films, including Esperanzas y sardinas (Hope and sardines), Rincones del paraíso (Corners or paradise), El pianista (The pianist) and the Tadjik-Swiss film Kosh ba Kosh, which won the Silver Lion Award at the 1993 Venice Film Festival. For her performance in Manane Rodriguez’s Retrato de mujer con hombre al fondo (Portrait of a woman with a man behind), she was nominated for Best New Actress at the Goya Awards, Spain’s equivalent to the Oscars.

In 1999 alone, Gálvez starred in three films, Tuve un sueño contigo (I had a dream with you), La rosa de piedra (The rose of stone) and Tatawo. She has played supporting characters as well, in movies like Una chica entre un millón (A girl among a million), El detective y la muerte (The detective and the death), Los baules del retorno (Return trunk), Corsario del chip directed by Rafael Alcazar, Pajarico (Little bird) and Nada en la nevera (Nothing in the fridge). She will soon be seen in the upcoming release Honolulu Baby.

On the small screen, Gálvez has appeared on the TV series Tango, Curro Jiménez, el regreso, La banda de Pérez and Hospital, and in two installments of the mini-series El secreto de la porcelana (The secret of porcelain). For Catalán television, she starred in Poble Nou and Sitges. Her theatre credits include Paco Suárez’s Bodas de sangre and Els Juglars’ Yo tengo un tío en América.
