Marina Saura is an actress and writer born in July 1957 in Madrid (Spain). Daughter of the late Spanish artist Antonio Saura (1930-1998) and Gunhild Madeleine Augot (1929-2020), translator from Swedish to French, she studied in Spain, France, Switzerland and Great Britain. She trained as an actress at The Drama Centre of London (1976-1979). Her debut in the professional theatre was in 1980 in Madrid in "Macbeth", directed by Miguel Narros, and began acting in films in Jaime Chávarri's "Bicycles are for Summer" in 1983. "Flesh & Blood" by Paul Verhoeven with Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh started her international career. Her breakthrough came with "Dancing Machine" costarring with Alain Delon. She alternates TV work with theatre and films. In 2017 she published her first book "Sin permiso".
