Nucky Walder, born in Paraguay, was a member of the 1970s group Tiempovillo, with which she acted throughout most of Latin America. She founded the Grupo Teatro Universitario, and La Máscara, while participating in Teatro Arlequín as well. In 1984 she arrived in the USA where she first collaborated with GALA Hispanic Theatre.
