Life
editRafael Baledón was on 25 November 1919 in Campeche, Mexico. He originally wanted to be a doctor, but he couldn't take the professional exam due to financial reasons. So, he chose acting.

It wasn't until 1942 that he had his first leading role, in the movie María Eugenia.[2] The following year, he married actress Lilia Michel and had five children: Rafael, Leonor, Ana Laura, Lourdes and Lilia.[3]
On 6 May 1994, he died of a heart attack.
