Juan Carlos Altavista

Born in Buenos Aires City, Buenos Aires, Argentina on January 4, 1929 — died July 20, 1989 (aged 60)

Juan Carlos Altavista (1929-1989) was an Argentine humorist. He is best remembered for his character Minguito, who was censored during the country's last dictatorship for his "slang language". The truth was that he was persecuted for being a Peronist. Minguito participated in the hit television comedy show "Polémica en el bar" and formed a comic duo with Juan Carlos Calabró's character Aníbal.
