One of Mexico’s best-known television actresses, Edith González, has died aged 54.
She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2016 and went into remission a year later, but it recently returned.
González started her career as a child actor in the 1970s and had spent decades working in Mexican television, film and theatre.
She played strong female roles in some of the most popular telenovelas, or Spanish-language soap operas.
González first confirmed news about her cancer diagnosis on social media three years ago – sharing a smiling selfie with a thumbs up from her hospital bed.
She remained open about her illness with her fans since, keeping them updated about her treatment and progress online and in interviews.
