Nº 1 Don Pedro Méndez, Gloria Marín's father did not agree with his daughter dedicating herself to the theater and following the steps of her mother's artistic career, even though since she was a child the actress showed her taste for art. In spite of her father's protests, Gloria Marín imposed herself and followed her vocation, her father died when she was already a recognized and wealthy star, but she said in an interview that even so, seeing the achievements reached by her daughter, she could not get Don Pedro to change his mind.
Nº 2 Regarding her relationship with her mother Gloria Marín, she said that she always accompanied her on her tours and watched her sing. She commented that her mother had a very beautiful soprano voice, that she sang Zarzuela and operetta. Little Gloria grew up with her sister Lili, surrounded by the theatrical environment. And one day little Gloria, accompanied by her nanny went to see the Revoltosa Revue, where Maria Conesa had formed two companies to represent it, one in Mexico City and the other in Tampico. Little Gloria knew the show by heart, one day one of the comic triplets was absent and the impresario was desperate because the theater was full. Little Gloria, at only 6 years old, with great determination asked herself: "What if I go out," and she went on stage. In an interview she commented that at that time she was very fat and with bangs that made her look like a Chinese girl. She also commented that maybe the audience was not amused because she remembers that someone shouted "take that little girl out". She ignored him and began to sing Mocosita, a tango that was in fashion, the pianist accompanied her and she was applauded a lot. Her mother, Doña Laura, surprised and angered by her audacity, took her out of the theater and sent her home. But the small and determined Gloria did not leave the theater without first going to the box office and asked for her salary, but when they gave her 2 pesos, she replied, "I don't charge 2 pesos. She replied, I don't charge 2 pesos, I charge 5 pesos. And they gave it to her. Who had paid her, would later be the famous "Chato" Cesar Guerra, impresario of the Blanquita theater. He was the one who convinced Doña Laura that Gloria should work in the theater and with her consent he formed a children's theater company that gave performances on weekends in schools. The theater group took such formality, that Doña Laura had to stop working to be with little Gloria and the group of children, being Doña Laura the general director, besides playing the piano and teaching them the plays. All the children had a salary and the talented little Gloria headed the program.
