Early life

Fornés was born February 11, 1923, in New York, but moved to Cuba as a small child. Her parents were Spanish. Her father was Catalan and her mother was from Madrid. They eventually divorced and her mother remarried when Fornés was approximately five. She took her stepfather's name. When she was ten, the family lived in Spain for three years before returning to Cuba.[1]
