Adriana Lamar (born Amparo Gutiérrez Hernández;[1] 9 May 1908[a] – 30 January 1946) was a Mexican film actress active during the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema.[2][3] Known by the pet name Monina,[4] in her early work she was sometimes credited as Monina Lamar.[3][5]

Born in Celaya, Guanajuato,[4] Lamar appeared in 35 films,[6] including 1933's La Llorona, Mexico's first horror film with sound.[7] In the 1930s, she also performed at Teatro Colón in El Paso, Texas, demonstrating how love and fight scenes were filmed.[8]

She was married to the actor Ramón Pereda, with whom she co-starred in several films and who directed her in others.[5] In 1946, during the filming of Ramón Peón's Rocambole, she underwent emergency surgery and died on 30 January at the age of 38.[9][10] She was buried in Mexico City's Panteón Español.[1]

In 2023, alongside Diego Rivera, José Alfredo Jiménez and María Grever, Lamar was portrayed on the tickets for issue No. 2790 of the National Lottery's Sorteo Superior draw, commemorating prominent artistic figures from the state of Guanajuato on the occasion of its 200th anniversary.[9][11]
