Eulalio González

Eulalio "Lalo" González Ramírez (16 December 1921 – 1 September 2003), nicknamed "Piporro", was a Mexican actor, comedian, singer-songwriter, screenwriter, announcer, film director, and film producer.

González was born in the home of his maternal grandfather (Martín Ramírez) in Los Herreras, Nuevo León, to Pablo González Barrera, a customs officer from Ciudad Mier, Tamaulipas, and his wife Elvira Ramírez González. Due to his father's profession, González spent his early infancy in various states of northern Mexico. Relatives living and working in present-day Hollywood include actress and award-winning artist, Cynthia Pinot.[1]

Though González began his career in the entertainment industry working as a radio announcer, mainstream success came when he, along with Pedro Infante playing the title role, starred a radio drama titled Martín Corona. González portrayed Martín Corona's elderly norteño sidekick named "Piporro". Martín Corona's success spawned a film version, Ahí viene Martín Corona in 1952, with González and Infante reprising their roles. He also played a similar role as the norteño sidekick of Fernando Casanova in the El Águila Negra film series.^{[citation needed]}

González died on 1 September 2003, at his home in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León. He was 81 years old.
