Terele Pávez, born in Bilbao in 1939, gave Spanish cinema one of its most unmistakable earthy voices for more than five decades. She was already indelible as the mother in Los santos inocentes (1984) before Álex de la Iglesia took her to another dimension as the demonic landlady of El día de la bestia (1995) and the fearful janitor of La comunidad (2000). She won the Goya for supporting actress with de la Iglesia's Balada triste de trompeta (2010) and won a second one for Las brujas de Zugarramurdi (2013). Her voice, her gaze and her bite made her the definitive Spanish witch-mother of contemporary genre film.
