Career
Following in his dad's footsteps, she began an acting career in 1956, debuting in the last year of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema with the films Caras nuevas and Los hijos de Rancho Grande, working with her father in the latter. She later appeared in productions such as La locura del Rock & Roll (1957), El diario de mi madre (1958), ¡Paso a la juventud..! (1958), El sordo (1959), Bendito entre las mujeres (1959), La tijera de oro (1960), El dolor de pagar la renta (1960) and her final film, El detective genial (1965), a Mexican-Colombian project.[2][3]
Internationally, she worked in the United States with the film The Sun Also Rises (1957), the episode "Duncan's Reef" of the series Captain David Grief (1958), and the TV shows The Chevy Show (1960) and Toast of the Town (1961).[4]
She also pursued a brief singing career in the late 1950s and mid 1960s, performing bolero, pop, ranchera and tropical music songs in various parts of the world, including the United States, South America, Europe and Japan. During her musical career, she formed a duet with her father, for which she was occasionally known as Leia Guízar, and they recorded two versions of a same album together, The Singing Guizars in 1959 and El gran dueto: Lilia y Tito Guízar in 1960, for which they sang songs of various genres.[5][6] Other of their works included collaborations in the albums México and Tributo a María Grever, both from 1965.[7] That same year, she married journalist and composer Ramón Inclán, with whom she had children, thus retiring from the entertainment media to care for her family, in addition to move to Los Angeles.
