Pablo Alarcón

Rodolfo Francisco Marabotto (born September 9, 1946), better known in the show business world as Pablo Alarcón, is an Argentine actor who has reached international fame. In 1990 he performed in the Off-Off-Broadway production Amazonia.

Alarcón was born in Pellegrini, Buenos Aires province . He lived a normal childhood, showing signs of wanting to become an actor since then.

During the 1970s and 1980s, Alarcón participated in a number of Argentine telenovelas and films. His participation in these gave Alarcón much popularity across his home country, as he became a favorite of the female audience there. During that decade, he got married to fellow actress Monica Jouvet. Jouvet died in a car accident in 1981.

He reached international celebrity when WAPA-TV of Puerto Rico signed him in 1983 to make telenovelas for them. Alarcón starred alongside Camille Carrion in the international hit Vivir Para Ti, which is generally considered by Puerto Rican television critics to be one of the best soap operas ever made in the country. WAPA-TV sold the soap opera to stations in Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, Chile and other important Latin American markets where Alarcón was not well known before. In addition, since WAPA-TV's transmissions reached the United States Virgin Islands as well, viewers in those islands were able to know Alarcón as well.

While in Puerto Rico, Alarcón met actress Claribel Medina, and the two soon fell in love with each other, beginning a relationship that was both seen with respect and disdain by Puerto Rican television viewers, some of which had problems accepting the fact that Alarcón was 36 at the time while Medina had come out of her teenage period just a few years before. The couple began making the covers of Estrellita, Teve Guía, Vea, Artistas and other Puerto Rican entertainment publications. The couple got married in 1985.
