Tal día como hoy, un 27 de diciembre, en el año 1942, jugaba su primer partido oficial con el Real Oviedo el interior Salvador Muñiz Artime, conocido popularmente como Negri.
Negri había nacido, de padres españoles, en Kansas City (Estados Unidos de América) el 19 de marzo de 1913. A los pocos años de vida, Negri se trasladó con su familia a Asturias. Se incorporó al Real Oviedo el 4 de julio de 1942, procedente del Real Juvencia, de Trubia.
Su debut oficial con el Real Oviedo, aquel 27 de diciembre de 1942, se produjo en un partido contra el Real Betis disputado en Sevilla. Negri fue el autor del primer gol del encuentro.
En ese partido la alineación del Real Oviedo, cuyo entrenador era Manuel Meana, fue la siguiente: Sión, Pena, Ricardo, Negri, Sirio, Villita, Campos, Dindurra, Echevarría, Herrerita, Antón.
Negri adelantó al conjunto carbayón en el minuto 28 de partido, y se llegaría al descanso con el 0-1 en el marcador. En el minuto 77 de encuentro, Saro estableció el empate, pero tan solo tres minutos después Echevarría anotó el 1-2, que ya sería definitivo.
Salvador Muñiz Artime estuvo solo la temporada 1942-43 en el Real Oviedo. Fallecería en el año 1999.
Eighty years ago, the highly celebrated actor and singer Pola Negri made her film debut. This Polish-born actress’s illustrious career started in 1918 with a small role in the German feature «Viktoria und ihr Husar». Negri’s work in the film industry, both in Germany and Hollywood, spanned four decades and earned her numerous awards and lifetime accomplishment recognitions.
Negri began her career by performing in variety shows across Europe and was soon cast in her first onscreen role. Her lifelong film career featured over 50 films and performances in a variety of genres including comedy, drama, romance, and alien films. During the early silent film era, Negri rapidly rose up the ranks and became one of Europe’s most popular leading ladies by 1920.
Negri’s style and expressive acting in her silent films were ahead of her time. She was also known for playing roles outside of the cliches of traditional female characters. Negri was the first actress to demand an outlandish salary of the two million dollars for her next movie. Negri also boldly accompanied the legendary Rudolph Valentino to Hollywood and the two starred together in some of the most famous films of the silent era.
Negri was praised for her excellent talent and was widely considered a diva and fashion icon. Negri was honored at awards ceremonies such as the Venice Film Festival, where she received the Skupion Veneziano Award. She was also the recipient of numerous lifetime achievement awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Eighty years after her film debut and Negri’s legacy lives on. She continues to inspire film makers and actors around the world. Her unique style and impact on early films have made Negri an icon in the golden age of the film industry.
