Rosa María Sardà i Támaro (30 July 1941 – 11 June 2020) was a Spanish actress.

[1] Sardà was born in Barcelona in 1941,[2] and grew up in the Sant Andreu district of the capital, where her career as a stage actress began.

In 1962, she made the leap to professional theater in the Dora Santacreu and Carlos Lucena company with the play Cena de matrimonios by Alfonso Paso; she then moved to the Alejandro Ulloa company and, later, to that of Pau Garsaball, with the work En Baldiri de la Costa.

[6] In 1993, she starred in Why Do They Call It Love When They Mean Sex?, for which she won the Goya Award for Best Supporting Actress.

[2] The next year she was awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi, but she later returned it in 2017 (see personal life section).

"[13] In 2017, Sardà returned her Creu de Sant Jordi award, one of the highest decorations of the Catalonian Government, due to her opposition to the Catalan "procés" and the corruption scandal of former Catalan president Jordi Pujol.
