Saby Kamalich (born May 13, 1939 in Lima, Peru) is a Mexican film and television actress. Her father Antonio Fantoni was from Italy, and her mother was from Croatia. Aside from her telenovela roles, Kamalich starred in many Mexican film productions such as Valente Quintero (1973), where she co-starred Antonio Aguilar.
Saby Kamalich was born Sabina Fantoni Kamalich to Antonio Fantoni and his Croatian wife. Kamalich first became interested in acting as a young woman when Braulio Castillo, the Puerto Rican actor, went to work in Peru. Kamalich admitted to El Vocero, a newspaper in Puerto Rico, that she had platonic feelings for Castillo. The two would later maintain a lifelong friendship.
Looking for better job opportunities, Kamalich moved to Mexico in 1970, where she had participated in three stage productions, and more importantly in Panamericana's 1969 version of the well-known telenovela (Spanish soap operas), Simplemente Maria. The Peruvian version, was the fourth filmed of Simplemente Maria, which had already been a hit in Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela.
Simplemente Maria made Kamalich famous across Latin America, in markets such as Guatemala, Nicaragua, Uruguay, the Dominican Republic, and the aforementioned countries, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Mexico.
