Source-derived summary

Inocencia Alcubierre Rodríguez, also known as Ino Alcubierre (16 June 1901 – 12 August 1927), was a Spanish actress.

Biography

Alcubierre was born in Uncastillo in 1901 and moved to Barcelona during her childhood with her parents. As a teenager, she worked as an usher in a movie theater.

In 1921, she received the lead role in her first film, a western called Lilian. She acted for director Ricardo de Baños as Doña Inés in the production of Don Juan Tenorio in 1922. Alcubierre took a three-year hiatus to care for her baby daughter. After appearing in the minor film El niño de oro in 1925, she appeared in Nobleza baturra the same year, which went on to become one of the most successful silent films in Spain; however, no copy of the film survived. Her performance as María del Pilar, a "representation of the pain and heart heat", was praised. In 1926, she played a role in La malcasada, which discussed the then-controversial subject of divorce.

Alcubierre died in a traffic accident in Madrid at the age of 26.

Editorial summary

“Inocencia Alcubierre” enters the record as spanish actress (1901-1927). Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Inocencia, Alcubierre and Spanish can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1901, 1927, 1921, 1922—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1901-06-16, 1900-06-16—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Inocencia, Alcubierre and Spanish.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Inocencia Alcubierre” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Inocencia, Alcubierre and Spanish provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1109463. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1901, 1927, 1921 and 1922.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
