However, after she pleaded him personally he reluctantly agreed to join the 1952 Perón ticket. He died in early April, before being re-inaugurated. At the inauguration two months later, Evita, now heading swiftly for death and bearing the title Spiritual Chief of the Argentine Nation, took his place.

In the 1996 film "Evita", he was played by Brian Cobby. [ [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116250/fullcredits Full Cast and Crew for "Evita"] . Internet Movie Database. 2008. Accessed March 24, 2008.]
