Luisa Martín (born Madrid; February 23, 1960) is a Spanish actress.
Luisa still preserves a photograph that her father José Luis took of her when she was four years old, in which he wrote: "Mi cómica hija María Luisa tienes madera de actriz, ¿pero será bueno eso para ti?" ("My funny daughter María Luisa, you have the material of an actress, but will this be good for you?".
Years later, when Luisa was seventeen years old and decided that she wanted to be an actress, her father influenced her in that decision and continued to influence her when she entered the Real Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático in Madrid from where she graduated in 1980.
Later she joined the William Layton's Workship in the National School of Classical Theatre. She began her professional career in theater with the company Teatro estudio 80.
During the 1980s she cut her teeth on stage with plays like The travels of Pedro the lucky, The scandals of a village, The balconies of Madrid, Phaedra, The rhinoceros, and Can't Pay? Won't Pay!.
Her television debut was in 1990 in Teresa Rabal's program "La guardería". Later, she would appear in other shows like "Noche Noche" with Emilio Aragon, "The Pedro Ruiz Program", and "Un, dos, tres... responda otra ve", where she played different characters every week.
Her first successful TV role was in 1993 with the character of la Chirla, the young apprentice to the fishmonger in "¿Quién da la vez?" a series created by Vicente Escrivá .
However it was only in 1995 when she became a household name as a result of her involvement in the series Médico de familia where she played the role of domestic assistant Juani Ureña, a role for which she won the Actors' Guild Award for Best Actress in 1996 and the Best Actress Award at the 1997 International Festival of Cinema and Television in Cartagena de Indias.
After this break in television in 1999 she embarked on a successful theatrical project alongside the actor Juan Echanove, of Luis García Berlanga and Rafael Azcona's "Not on Your Life". Her performance in the role of "Carmen" won her the SGAE Miguel Mihura Award, the Ercilla Theatre Award, and the Silver Screen Award; and a nomination for the Max Award; in 2000.
