The spokesman for Mexico's
National Actors Association said comic actor Gaspar Henaine Perez died at a
Mexico City hospital. The cause of death hasn't been released. Henaine Perez
had suffered pneumonia and ulcers. Capulina acted in nearly 100 films, often
appearing as a bumbling but good-natured sidekick wearing an old hat with no
crown.
He later appeared in children's TV series and movies. Actors Association
spokesman Gustavo de Anda said a memorial service was being held Friday night.
Born on Jan. 6, 1926, Henaine Perez is survived by his wife, a son and a
daughter.
