 With the support of another uncle, the producer José Yázbek, he was included in the production of "La Muerte Enamorada" ("Death In Love", 1950), a comedy starring Miroslava and Fernando Fernández.After that film, Mauricio adopted the artistic last name "Garcés", believing the letter "G" would bring good luck and turn him into a star at the level of his idols Clark Gable, Gary Cooper and Cary Grant.His famous image as elegant, worldly, and gallant arose thanks to the vision from the producer Angélica Ortiz, mother of the actress Angélica María, who hired Mauricio to star in "Don Juan 67" (1966), the first of a series of films in which he played his alter-ego "Mauricio Galán".
