Argentine Singer, Actor, Film Director and Screenwriter. Fuad Jorge Jury Olivera, commonly known as Leonardo Favio, is considered one of Argentina's best film directors and most enduring cultural figures as well as a popular singer-songwriter throughout Latin America. He was one of the most successful Argentine singers in the 1960s and 1970s with big hits like "Ding, dong estas cosas del amor," "O quizás simplemente le regale una rosa," "Fuiste mía un verano," "Ella ya me olvidó," "Quiero aprender de memoria," "Mi tristeza es mía y nada más," "Para saber cómo es la soledad," "Mi amante niña mi compañera," "Ni el clavel ni la rosa," "La foto de carnet," "No jueges más," "Chiquillada" and "La cita." His first feature movie, "Chronicle of a Boy Alone," and the second one "El Romance del Aniceto y la Francisca," compete in the consensus of Argentine critics to be considered the best Argentine movie of all times, while the agreement is almost unanimous in considering Leonardo Favio as the best Argentine movie director of all times. Later, he would film "El Dependiente," "Juan Moreira," "Nazareno Cruz y el Lobo," "Soñar Soñar," "Gatica el Mono," "Perón Sinfonía de un Sentimiento" and "Aniceto."
