The first time fame took the form of a fist, he starred in the work of little hair, during the winter holidays. A teenage fan approached the Fénix de Flores theater and in the midst of a riot she cut her hair.
Solange Muleiro Matou could not process it a part of his body, a padlock, could be a collector’s item. 1980s decade, young stars with no bodyguards, no clear guidelines for child art work. She continued to work without understanding certain rules. One day he was encouraged to follow his wish: deleted from the media map.
At 51, there is no distance that oblivion has reached. Even in Miami, where he lives, there is never a shortage of an Argentine of her generation who recognizes her as Betiana of that infantile-juvenile cycle. Or like the chic blonde with the Recoleta accent and zigzag locks Violin key.
In the midst of those nostalgic group rescues trying to reunite with their childhood role models, Solange is the difficult figure It is difficult to find her on social networks, or to know what happened to her life since 1996, after participating in the telenovela Sacred love, with Grecia Colmenares and Jorge Martínez. The silence had a reason: the laws kept her confined. She graduated as a lawyer in Buenos Aires and revalidated her title in the United States.
“I remember that period as a very happy stage, but that’s how it is. I have a very low profile. I was tired of being so exposed, that someone else likes or dislikes what you do more, the tension of being or not in a casting, a subjective instance where you have to be appreciated,” she explains from Miami.
The woman who gave her first kiss without looking for it (“she was with Adrián Suar in a scene,” she admits) is helping Argentines trying to emigrate to the north. She heads Bloch-Muleiro Matouk, “a boutique law firm with professionals specializing in the American immigration system.”
Although in the credits of little hair appeared as Solange Mathou, the surnames appearing on her identity card are Muleiro Matouk. The change was a strategy she engineered at the age of 11: her father Hector Muleiro, who went through ATC, Channel 11, Channel 9, was then in charge of Channel 13’s programming and didn’t allow her to act .
In complicity with his sister “Sol” At that time, she secretly appeared at a casting call, lined up like any other neighbor’s child, and was cast by producer Jorge Palaz.
In that hotbed of actors there were four seasons of boom, with Adrián Suar, Gustavo Bermúdez, Julián Weich, Pepe Monje and others deciding to kick the board as adults. The joke that accounted for the problems of pre-adolescence during the return to democracy paved the way for later productions, such as Violin key AND roller coaster.
How did you get your father to change his mind?
– Accepted, but never agreed. It ended up being 16 years as an actress. It started out as a game, then I realized I was making money. I was a girl from Recoleta, and the world of television made me step out of a circle, discover other realities. Everything I have experienced has helped me to be who I am.
-How did you experience popularity at school?
-I went to the nun’s school, Jesús María, and many of the classmates had their conservative parents who didn’t allow them to watch the program. A very closed environment, I was not used to dealing with men and it was a time when bullying was common, normal. Only later did I realize that there was a lot of envy behind it.
-It was a time when there wasn’t much supervision of children on television…
-It’s true, today everything is more attentive, I was greatly supported by my parents, my mum was always there, she waited for me in the pizzeria on the corner. Some colleagues have not been so lucky.
-Your classmates said they were girls and had to endure inappropriate comments from adults working in different areas. Have you experienced bullying?
– It didn’t happen to me. And if it happened, in that moment, so small, I didn’t notice it.
-Some of your colleagues dropped out of school… What was life like with grueling schedules and tours, and how did you manage to balance that with school?
-I went to school in the morning, arrived at the canal at 2.00 pm, ate in the taxi, studied the texts in the studio, finished at 8.30 pm, went home, did my homework and repeated all the next day. When the program was unitary it was also recorded in Martínez and when it became a strip, the exteriors were in La Lucila. He liked him, but he was still weird. In those years I learned what a union was, namely that I needed the consent of my parents. little hair it opened my head
-In perspective: what criticism do you make of that TV with children?
-Television in general is a reflection of society, and at that time little hair it represented that society, even issues that were taboo and that the program managed to make visible. I remember one of the first chapters was about the first period, my character was dealing with that situation. They called it ‘the menarche’, an extremely archaic word that is not even used today. The approach was very careful. There was no other program that made these things visible. What I have is a critical look at child actors and start working at an early age.
-Why?
-I went through a period of pre-adolescence and adolescence with a lot of family support, 100%, but I know cases where this was not the case. Today I believe that children should be children, enjoy that moment without the pressure of work, without prejudice, even if you think it’s a game. You must have many more tools to be playful in this phase and not follow timetables, linked to many rules.
Love with Sbaraglia and Pablo Rago
If Pelito’s “school” taught him anything, it was flexibility. understood that a TV channel was where something could go wrong and plans changed. In 1983, for example, it was already a legend told to children that day in 1980 when the Constitución radio station burned down due to a fire – with no injuries – which forced the following day At lunch with Mirtha Legrand It was broadcast from a restaurant. Times of a more traditional television, with less bombardment of proposals.
Remembered as Suar’s girlfriend in Pelito, the writers wrote to her innocent fiction novels with almost all the actors in the cast, such as Gustavo Bermudez and Pepe Monje, with whom he ended up getting married. In Violin key, At the start she fell in love with Leonardo Sbaraglia, then had a courtship with Pablo Rago.
Many viewers who have recorded material in times when the home VCR was a luxury, today they send him scenes from that past. Solange recognizes herself tenderly, without regrets. She was the “focused girl” of a rowdy group. Times when child actresses like Claudia Flores could “fake a faint and alert a whole set, including an ambulance”. Or that child actors disappeared for hours from a recording in Martínez, like the time Jorge Pollini and Damián Canavezzio escaped at the San Isidro racetrack and were about to rock Argentina.
A graduate of the Universidad del Salvador after dropping out of Economics, Solange received a job offer in the United States in 2015 and traveled with her husband. He holds a master’s degree from the University of Florida. and specializes in Visas for Professionals, Executives and Business Leaders, Extraordinary Abilities, Green Cards, and U.S. Citizenship. “There is a peak of Argentines who want to leave, they tell me ‘Argentina is unlivable And it gives me some anger to hear that.”
Today the professional curriculum he holds does not mention that he studied acting with María Herminia Avellaneda, who he co-starred with Graciela Borges in the drama poor butterfly, by Raúl de la Torre, on Nazism in Argentina. Nor flaunts the call of Alejandro Doria for the unitaries of Dareor the days shared with referents such as Rodolfo Beban, Betiana Blum, Arturo Puig, Duilio Marzio, Alberto de Mendoza, Arnaldo André.
“In general, I’ve never had any idols. I have always normalized the profession”, she releases, still surprised by the call and by the effect this girl continues to generate on Canal Volver. “My father’s activity had a lot to do with my view of actors in general.”
“Going back to acting? Not for now,” he doubts. She still does not want to hang the nickname of the former actress. “I always believe in change. I try not to think of anything as definitive. Of course: acting would no longer be my livelihood.”
