Television Work
Meza was cast by Roberto Gómez Bolaños to play "Doña Florinda" in the Televisa comedy show El Chavo, which became a major international hit. Playing "Doña Florinda" (and "Popis"), Florinda Meza became known all over Latin America. The show lasted from 1972 to 1980 (although the sketch would continue until 1992), during which she and Roberto began a lifelong romance that never produced any children. During her tenure on the Chespirito show, she was also known to have played Edgar Vivar's character "Botija"'s wife "Maria Expropiacion Petronila", famously known as "La Chimoltrufia" Meza also participated prominently in Chespirito's other main show, El Chapulín Colorado. After production of the show Chespirito ended in 1995, she and Roberto began touring extensively, something they still do. The two Mexican actors got married in a civil ceremony on November 19, 2004, after 27 years of sharing their lives.

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or work:
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
—Marya McLaughlin, U.S. television newswoman. As quoted in Women in Television News, ch. 3, by Judith S. Gelfman (1976)
“Do not put off your work until tomorrow and the day after. For the sluggish worker does not fill his barn, nor the one who puts off his work; industry aids work, but the man who puts off work always wrestles with disaster.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
