History
María Francisca Gabaldón Serer (Barcelona, 10 de mayo de 1949) es una actriz y presentadora española. Sus primeros años de vida transcurrieron en varios países: Turquía, Italia, Argentina, Chile y Perú. A lo largo de estos viajes, inició su formación como artista, con clases de Arte Dramático, dicción y canto. Fue en Perú donde debutó ante una cámara, en la película Ganarás el pan. Regresó a España en 1967 y, de la mano de Enrique Martí Maqueda -de quien fue pareja durante siete años-, comenzó a trabajar en Televisión española como presentadora, bajo el nombre artístico de Mary Francis. Poco después dio el salto al cine, participando en numerosas comedias desenfadadas. En los siguientes años, su carrera cinematográfica se desarrolló en papeles secundarios de títulos menores, en los que solía interpretar un prototipo de mujer moderna y seductora. Entre 1976 y 1977 regresó a televisión para presentar, junto a José Antonio Plaza, el programa 625 líneas, al que seguiría 300 millones (1978) con Kiko Ledgard. En los últimos años de trayectoria interpretativa ha compaginado apariciones en títulos cinematográficos con su presencia en series de televisión de éxito.
