Mónica Cabrera (born 26 April 1958) is an Argentine director, playwright, and actress of film, television, and theater.

[1] In her early years she was active in the Communist Youth Federation [es], and that is what led her to direct for the first time, in a fundraising project.

Later, she founded the Merlo Municipal School of Theater, which she directed until 2000, when her contract was suspended, something that she described as "a disgrace" and which caused her economic problems.

[6] She then had small roles in the films Lost Embrace (2004), A los ojos de Dios (2005), El infinito sin estrellas (2007), and Clarisa ya tiene un muerto (2008).

She played Rosa in Tratame bien (2009),[2] Mabel in the telenovela Malparida (2010), and Elena in La dueña (2012), a series starring Mirtha Legrand.

Regarding her departure from the Merlo Municipal School of Theater, the actress said "I got involved in a small job; I reduced myself to the essentials," and said that she had to "write, act, and direct alone" because "I had the prejudice of an excess of narcissism and exhibitionism."
