Biography

She was born in Santiago on November 10, 1937. She was the daughter of Abraham Klecky (d. 1947), of Belarusian origin, and Ester Rapaport Kuniche, of Jewish origin.

She studied theater at the Academy of Dramatic Arts of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (PUC). She graduated as an actress in 1955. In 1972, she entered the School of Journalism at the University of Chile, from which she graduated in 1976.

Anita Klecky married her former teacher, the renowned architect and set designer of the Teatro UC, Bernardo Trumper Roñis (b. 1929–d. 1997), in 1960. They had two sons: Juan Pablo Trumper Klecky and Leonardo Trumper Klecky, both architects.

In 1971, he joined the Teatro del Ángel company, where he remained until 1974.

Between 1974 and 1978, he participated in productions with the National Theater Company of the University of Chile.

In 1992, he joined Televisión Nacional de Chile (TVN), participating in several emblematic and diverse telenovelas directed by Vicente Sabatini and María Eugenia Rencoret. He was part of the Golden Age of TVN telenovelas.

In the early 1960s, he participated in various photo-novels for the magazine Cine Amor, where he and Héctor Noguera achieved early popularity.

In the mid-1970s, he worked as a journalist for the newspapers Las Últimas Noticias and Diario Financiero, for the television network Canal 9 of the University of Chile, and as a journalist and theater critic for Revista Bravo.

Death

Anita Klesky died at her home in Providencia on November 15, 2000, from health complications related to her cancer treatment. In February, she had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent surgery and radiation therapy at the Clínica Alemana in Santiago.

She was buried on November 16 in the Recoleta Jewish Cemetery, where she was accompanied by her mother, children, relatives, friends, and her closest artistic circle, and attended by directors and producers from Televisión Nacional (TVN), as well as the First Lady of the Republic, Luisa Durán.
