María Victoria

María Victoria Gutiérrez Cervantes was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, the daughter of Leovigildo Gutiérrez Peña, a tailor dedicated to men's clothing design, and Maura Cervantes Prieto, a housewife.^[8][9] With accredited documents, it was believed that she was born in 1927,^[10][11] but in 2025, her grandchildren revealed that she was actually born in 1923.^[12][13] This fact was later supported by a Facebook page called "El Mundo de Elioth" (spanish for "Elioth's World"), which shared a screenshot of her birth certificate, revealing that it occurred on 26 February 1923.^[2][4][5]

She had five siblings, of whom she was the youngest^[14] and whose names were Julio, Martín, José, Esperanza and Elvira, but it is unknown who were from their mother's first marriage and who were from her second, since she married twice after becoming a widow.^[9]

As a singer, she specialized in the bolero and pop music genres, with hits such as "Cuidadito, cuidadito", "Así así", "Como un perro", "17 años", "Que divino", "Bien hecho", among others.^[15][16]
