Angelines Fernández Abad (July 9, 1922 in Madrid, Spain - March 25, 1994 in Mexico City) was a Spanish actress who found fame in Mexico.
Fernández struggled as an actress in Spain. She flew to Mexico in 1947. Although she never became a naturalized Mexican, she would remain there for the rest of her life, except for international tours and a short stint in Cuba during the late 1940's. In 1950, she returned to Mexico permanently.

[edit] Career
Angelines Fernández acted in fourteen movies, including the classic ''El Esqueleto de La Señora Morales (1960), and El Profe (1971) with Cantinflas. She starred in Cadenas de Amor at the age of 27, and other telenovelas in the 1960's with the second to last one in 1970. It was not until she was hired in 1973 to play La Bruja del 71 in El Chavo del Ocho that she cemented her status as a legend. She got that job when she asked her personal friend, Ramón Valdés, if he knew of any acting jobs she might be able to do.
She also participated in Chespirito 's other show, El Chapulín Colorado years later. Ironically, it was with El Chavo and Chapulin that she achieved fame in her native Spain. The two Chespirito productions became wide international hits, reaching virtually every country in the Americas and also other, non Spanish speaking countries as well. The shows are still shown with re-runs in many countries. In 1974 she participated in her last telenovela and her last film and concentrated her work around Chespirito productions.
After the shows ended in 1979, she continued playing "La Bruja" on the hour-long "Chespirito" and on public tours. Starting later in the 1980's, she began playing a second regular character on "Chespirito", Dona Nachita, the gossipy neighbor in the "Chómpiras" sketches. She remained on the show until 1992.
An acknowledged tobacco smoker, she died in 1994 from a tobacco related cancer (sources mention it being throat cancer without giving further details). She is buried at the Mausoleo del Ángel in Mexico City, place where other legends, mostly Mexican, are buried.
