Roberto Pettinato (born Buenos Aires, December 15, 1955) is an Argentine musician, journalist and television presenter.

Pettinato's father, Roberto Sr., was a high-ranking corrections officer in the administration of Juan Perón. When a coup deposed Perón in 1955, he was accused of being involved in political repression and was driven out of the country together with his family. Roberto Jr. has maintained that leaving his childhood home in the dark is his earliest memory.

Pettinato became involved in the Argentine rock scene of the late 1970s mostly as a journalist with the Expreso Imaginario monthly magazine, which he directed from 1980 until its demise in 1982. In parallel, he was the on-and-off saxophonist for the 1980s band Sumo, led by Anglo-Italian Luca Prodan.

After Prodan's death and the band's dissolution, he started working in television together with Gerardo Sofovich, co-hosting La noche del Domingo in the early 1990s. Later on, he gained popularity by hosting Duro de acostar on Telefe, a midnight talk show modeled after David Letterman's. In the mid-1990s, he attained cult status by co-hosting post-midnight sports and showbiz show Orsai (a deformation of the football term off-side) with Gonzalo Bonadeo on one of Argentina's many sports cable channels.

Rosa María Juana Martínez, better known by the stage name Mirtha Legrand (born 23 February 1927 in Villa Cañás, Santa Fe Province) is an Argentine actress and television personality and twin sister of the actress Silvia Legrand.

The future Mirtha Legrand was born in Villa Cañás, a town in the province of Santa Fe located some 200 km from Rosario. Her parents were both Spanish immigrants. In 1934 her parents separated. Her mother relocated to Rosario to ensure a better education for her three children, while her father remained in Villa Cañás.

In Rosario, Rosa María Juana and her twin sister María Aurelia took basic courses at the Municipal Theater. After the death of their father in 1936, the family relocated permanently to Buenos Aires, to the barrio of La Paternal. There they lived in poverty, mitigated by sporadic employment, until in 1939 the sisters were offered small roles in a film starring Niní Marshall which would be released in 1940 under the title Hay que educar a Niní.

The Martínez sisters' next film together was Novios para las muchachas in 1941. Mirtha's first leading role came later that year in Los martes, orquídeas. The same year her mother would be contacted by a well-known film industry figure, Ricardo Cerebello, who offered to represent the sisters. It was Cerebello who devised the stage names Mirtha and Silvia Legrand.
