The world of culture is in mourning. Concha Velasco died this Saturday, December 2, at the Puerta de Hierro Hospital in Majadahonda, at the age of 84, after two years removed from her beloved scenes. The news was confirmed by her children, Manuel and Paco, through a statement sent to the media. The actress's family explained that her transfer occurred "as a result of a complication in her illness." Concha's life, both professionally and personally, has been very intense, and has been marked by several people. Among them, Paco Marsó, her ex-husband and father of one of her children.
The story between the actress and the producer was full of ups and downs, and finally came to an end. However, she always kept him in mind. It was in 1964 when Concha and Paco met, when he was working as an extra in a play in which Concha appeared. At that time, they met on more than one occasion, but she did not want to go further due to their age difference. So, Paco was not even of legal age, something that put the interpreter off.
Fate, capricious, made them run along different paths until they met again for work reasons, and it was in 1976 when they began a relationship. At that time, Concha was already the mother of her son Manuel, the result of her relationship with Fernando Arribas. For his part, Paco was already the father of Diana Patricia. It was on April 18, 1977 when the couple got married, in an event where only their closest family and friends attended.
What had to be a very happy and festive day ended up being quite the opposite. In fact, Concha ended up calling the police because he disappeared. Later, her mother-in-law told her to get used to this type of situation. During their marriage, the couple experienced very emotional moments, such as the birth of their son Paco. But, above all, complicated; both economically, as well as with disagreements at work, with infidelities and with continuous fights. In 2005, they decided to go their separate ways.
At that time, Velasco said that she had decided to kick Paco out of the house because she was tired of the continuous fights. Despite all this, the interpreter always had a special place in her heart for the father of her little son. In 2010, Paco died due to a stroke, and it was a very hard blow for her, and he remembered her with great affection. And it wasn't the last time she did it. Every time she talked about him in an interview, Concha remembered the bad, but also the good. And she, despite everything, was one of the men in her life... and one of her great loves.
It was this Saturday morning when the death of the actress came to light. "We regret to inform that our mother, Concha Velasco, died today, Saturday the 2nd at 02:00 at the Puerta de Hierro Hospital in Majadahonda, having received the Holy Sacraments, as a result of a complication in her illness," the shared statement reported. for his two children. On the other hand, the actress's family wanted to thank all the staff at the residence and the hospital where Concha has been admitted. "We have nothing but words of gratitude for the hospital staff, and the Santa Matilde and Orpea Punta Galea residences who have taken such good care of her in these difficult times," they thanked.
On the other hand, his children wanted to highlight how grateful they feel to have been able to grow up with Velasco. "We are lucky to have enjoyed the best mother in the world and to receive the affection of so many Spaniards who love and admire her. Thank you all," she expressed. "We ask for a prayer for the eternal rest of his soul. Our family will also thank you. His children, Manuel and Paco," the statement ends by saying. Without a doubt, this loss marks a before and after in the world of acting and culture.
