Alfredo Vergara Morales (13 April 1915 – 18 April 1987), best known by the stage name Eduardo Alcaraz, was a Chilean-Mexican actor. Born in Santiago, he was based in Mexico since 1951. He appeared in films such as Escuela de rateros (1958) alongside Pedro Infante.[1]
In 1949, while working at Radio Quito in Ecuador, he participated in an adaptation of The War of the Worlds, similar to how Orson Welles had done a decade earlier in the United States. Alcaraz was in charge of the script of this new version, which like Welles's version represented the events narrated as if it were a true transmission. When it was revealed that it was a fictional story, a crowd made their way to the El Comercio newspaper building, where the radio worked, and set it on fire. Six people died.[2][3][4]
