[3] Born in San Sebastián, the daughter of a social worker mother, Font enjoyed music since an early age.
Her family later moved to the San Juan area of Santurce, where they were neighbors with Manuel Mendez Ballester, a very well known playwright of the era.
When the couple married, Font took her husband's last name, a practice that is still very uncommon, as of 2024, in Puerto Rico and the rest of Latin America.
While at Telemundo Puerto Rico she acted in "Pueblo" (a telenovela not to be confused with the local supermarket chain of the same name); she also starred at WAPA-TV's "Bendita eres Tu" ("You are Blessed").
[4] Later she starred in other telenovelas such as "Justicia" ("Justice"), "El Perdon de los Pecados" ("Sin's Forgiveness"), "Maria Merce La Mulata" ("Maria Merce the Mulatto") and the major Puerto Rican hit, "Entre Monte y Cielo" (which loosely translates to "Between Heaven and Earth").
[4] Font's career as a television actress and personality continued and she participated in 1969's "Juan de Dios" ("John of God") as well as the international hit telenovela, 1972's "Tomiko" and in "Mujeres sin Hombres" ("Women Without Men").
