Narciso Ibáñez Menta (Spanish pronunciation: [naɾˈθisojˈβaɲeθ ˈmenta]; August 25, 1912 – May 15, 2004) was a Spanish theatre, film, and television actor.[1]
Biography
[edit]Born in Langreo, Asturias, Spain, Ibáñez Menta made his first stage appearance at the age of seven at the Teatro La Comedia of Buenos Aires. He worked in both theatre and film in Argentina until 1964, when he returned to Spain and developed a successful television career. In both Argentina and Spain, he was particularly prominent in suspense and horror subjects.
He married the Argentine actress Pepita Serrador, a member of a theatre family. In 1935 they had a son, Narciso Ibáñez Serrador, who became a director, writer and actor, and directed the Spanish television series Historias para no dormir (1973), El Televisor (1974) and El fin empezó ayer (1982) in which his father starred.
Films featuring Ibáñez Menta included Historia de crímenes (1942), La Bestia debe morir (1952), Tres citas con el destino (1953), Obras maestras del terror (1960), Shoot Twice (1969), La saga de los Drácula (1972), Los muchachos de antes no usaban arsénico (1976), Viaje al más allá (1980), Sal gorda (1983), and Más allá de la muerte (1984).
His last film role was in ¡Qué vecinos tan animales! (1998).
His health gradually deteriorated, to the point that in 1996 he was implanted with a pacemaker and spent the last few years prostrate in bed. He died on May 15, 2004, at the Hospital de Madrid when he was 91 years old.
His body was cremated in the Cemetery of La Almudena in Madrid on May 16, 2004.
In 2008, Argentine cinema director Gustavo Leonel Mendoza exhibited a documentary about Ibañez Menta's life, titled Nadie inquietó más ('Nobody disturbed more'). In 2010, Argentine writers Leandro D'Ambrosio and Marcelo Rodríguez aka "Gillespi" published a biography of the actor, El artesano del miedo ['The Craftsman of Fear'].

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
