Mariam Pabon (born c. 1957) is a noted Puerto Rican actress. She is Cuban, by her father's side.
Pabon grew used to life in the spotlight: her father, Mario Pabon , was one of Puerto Rico's most famous actors and directors. She was named after him; her family used the name "Mariam" as a Spanish version of "Mario".
Pabon was one of Puerto Rico's most prolific actresses when telenovelas were produced there. Pabon was active in these, Spanish soap operas until 1989, when the last Puerto Rican telenovela was produced.
Pabon also had a long theater career that spanned about a decade when the Puerto Rican telenovelas ceased producing. She had to turn to comedy instead, and, since 1993, she has starred alongside Rene Monclova, among others, in Sunshine Logrono's television comedy, "El Condominio". In "El Condominio", she portrays a Puerto Rican-American.
When controversy arose, in 2004, whether that show should be cancelled because Tony Mojena had been the show's original producer, Pabon stuck by Logrono, defending the show as a workhouse for her fellow, Puerto Rican co-stars.
Pabon has kept participating in theatre shows. As a matter of a fact, she was involved in several of San Juan's most important theater plays of the 1990s, and she has toured Puerto Rico as a theater actress. She keeps involved in theater, and, with the possibility of "El Condominio" dissapearing from Puerto Rican television, she also participates in a theater play of the same name, which, once again, includes the same actors and characters that participate in the television show.
Pabon also participated in a Puerto Rican film named "Desvio al Paraiso " ("Wrong Way to Paradise")
