During her appearance on the traditional TV show 'La Noche de Mirtha', actress Gloria Carrás surprised guests by revealing the story behind her artistic stage name and the circumstances that forced her to modify her identity early in her career. According to the Argentine News Agency (NA), the artist revealed that her real last name is Currá, but she had to change it at the suggestion of the late Dario Vittori. The conflict arose during her participation in the children's hit 'Señorita Maestra.' 'Currá means to work,' the actress stated. She also recounted the harassment her family faced: 'They looked us up in the directory and called everyone at two or three in the morning, which was very annoying,' Gloria explained. The actress's mother considered changing the house phone number, but it was Vittori who offered a more practical solution to protect the girl's privacy: 'No, don't change the phone number, change your last name. Change just one letter, make it Carrá.' Despite the modification that marked her trajectory, Gloria reclaimed the meaning of her birth surname. 'At that time, there were phone directories, and not many people had that last name. I've been working since I was eight years old, so I think that represents me,' she concluded.
