Furman was born in Mexico City[2] to Favy Furman Jaitzer of Mogilev, Belarus, and Sulamita Epstein Lamdansky of Visoki-Dvor, Lithuania. She was raised in Pachuca, Hidalgo.[3] [4] She studied dramatic arts and English at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

She began her career on the stage, appearing in plays such as El tiempo es un sueño (1950)[5] and Anunciación de María (1963), both at Guadalajara's Teatro Degollado. After her film debut in the early 1960s, she participated in many popular films and television series. She is remembered for her role as Dorotea "La Cuarraca" in the very prestigious 1967 film adaptation of Juan Rulfo's novel Pedro Páramo.[6] She also received critical acclaim for her performance in the French film Le Rapace (1968),[7] which was shot in Mexico and contains her only starring role. She appeared, albeit uncredited, in the Cantinflas vehicle Un quijote sin mancha (1969). She then played a friend of Shirley MacLaine's character in Two Mules for Sister Sara (1970). In 1972, she traveled to Antonio Aguilar's hacienda in Tayahua, Zacatecas, to play a small role in his film La yegua colorada (released in 1973).[8] She and Diana Ochoa memorably played sisters "La Seca" and "La Meca", two gossipy spinsters, in the comedy La presidenta municipal (1975), starring María Elena Velasco (as La India María), Adalberto Martínez "Resortes" and Pancho Córdova. She had a supporting role in Albur de amor (1980).

In 1997, she received a nomination for the Ariel Award for Best Actress in a Minor Role (Mejor Actriz de Cuadro) for her performance in Profundo carmesí (1996).[9]
