Estanislao Schillinsky Bachanska (10 August 1911 – 27 September 1985), known as Estanislao Shilinsky or simply Shilinsky, was a Lithuanian-born Mexican comedian and the half of the 1940–1970 comedy duo Manolín y Shilinsky with Manuel Palacios ("Manolín").
Career
Estanislao Shilinsky and his brother moved to Mexico as members of a Russian circus troup.[1]
His career started in the carpa circuit when he met Grigori Ivanov who introduced him to the Carpa Valentina that he owned. In 1929 he coached Mario Moreno and helped him improve his Cantinflas character. He later married Olga Subarev, the daughter of Ivanov,[1] while Cantinflas married her sister Valentina Ivanova who the carpa was named after.
One of Shilinsky's singular characteristics as a Mexican actor was his remnant Russian accent.[2]
His sidekick Manuel Palacio Sierra eventually lost his voice and died in poverty in 1977.[3]
