Lola Beltran, a popular singer and actress in Mexico for more than four decades, died Sunday of a stroke. She was believed to be in her late 70s.
Beltran died at the Angeles Hospital in Mexico City, Mexico's Notimex news agency said.
Born Maria Lucila Beltran Alcayaga and known to her many fans as ``Lola la Grande,'' Beltran recorded more than 78 records.
She suffered a heart attack March 16, remarking soon afterward that ``God in his infinite compassion let me live for a little bit longer.''
She promised her fans then she would continue singing ``as long as the body holds up.'' - Associated Press
