Next Monday, February 4 the child prodigy of Spanish cinema and song, will turn 65. Actress Pepa Flores, better known by her stage name, Marisol, became well known in our country with films such as "Tómbola", "Un ray de luz" or "Cabriola" in the 60s. An unprecedented success that years later the overflowed.
Adorable, pretty, smiling and cheerful like few others, and with an exceptional ability to sing, dance and act, she was born into a humble Malaga family in 1948. Producer Manuel Goyanes discovered her in a children's performanceHe took her out of her home at the age of eleven and made her star in films that are in the collective memory of all the Spaniards who lived in Franco's Spain. He also married her to his son, with whom he was only three years.
Later would come his wedding with the dancer, also well known, Antonio gades in Cuba, with Fidel Castro as best man at a wedding, and with whom he would have three daughters: actress María Esteve, Celia and Tamara. Years later, a controversial and commented topless would come to light on the cover of Interviú magazine in September 1976. With it, Marisol became an icon of the Transition and a way of warning the world that she had broken with her star past childish.
But years later the world of fame overflowed her and she decided to retire. Since then he has not granted interviews, has not issued any statement, has not attended any events or galas, or premieres ... Nothing at all. Pepa Flores, Marisol, abandoned the girl that we all keep in our memory to dedicate herself to her private life. She currently lives in Malaga, where she barely appears from time to time in some paparazzi photos, sometimes accompanied by her partner, Máximo Stecchini. Last year he posed at the opening of an exhibition of his daughter María. Little more, despite having received all kinds of offers to return. Happy Birthday!
