[2] Marina de Tavira's father, a high official in the Mexican criminal justice system, was murdered in 2000, a day before her acting debut in Berman's play.

She is a member and founder, along with Enrique Singer, of the Incidente Teatro production company with which they have premiered Betrayal by Harold Pinter, Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley, La mujer justa by Hugo Urquijo (based on the novel by Sándor Márai), and The Anarchist by David Mamet.

In 2019, she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as the character Sofía in Roma, alongside Amy Adams, Regina King, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz in the same category.

One of them, María Lucila Isabel Servitje Montull, served as a teacher in theology and director of the Mexican Institute of Christian Social Doctrine.

Marina de Tavira's father, Juan Pablo de Tavira Noriega, was a prominent Mexican criminologist, a lawyer, and the first director of Mexico's Altiplano Prison, overseeing such high-security prison inmates as Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, Rafael Caro Quintero, Mario Aburto Martínez and Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo.
