He was one of the founders, and the most important leader, of the [[National Association of Actors\|Mexican Actors Association]], succeeding [[Cantinflas]] as its chairman. actress [[Leticia Palma]] became involved in the struggle between Cantinflas and Negrete over leadership of the union, campaigning actively for Moreno. On January 2, 1953, Palma was "rescued" by Major Manuel González, who helped her get a taxi to safety while she was being pursued by an angry mob. The mob was led by Negrete, who was after Palma for having stolen documents regarding her contract violations. Palma filed assault charges on Negrete. Eight days later, ANDA held a special assembly to judge Palma. Moreno argued on her behalf, attempting to negotiate a settlement. Negrete would allow nothing less than her expulsion from the union, and Palma likewise refused to withdraw the charge of assault. Just before the vote, a number of actresses left the room in protest. The remaining members voted in favor of expulsion, thus ending Palma's film career. ==Death and aftermath==
