The death of Silvia Tortosa was a hard blow to the Spanish audiovisual and theater industry. A participant in projects as diverse and extensive as Farmacia de Guardia, Curro Jiménez and Hostal Royal Manzanares, the Barcelona native earned a place among the performers whose memory she will live on for decades. Despite the circumstances surrounding her final years, the actress was clear to whom she should leave her assets before passing away.
Some chosen people who revealed themselves this morning, after their will was made public. Finally, her widower Carlos Cánovas has been left off the list, after spending weeks in the spotlight for alleged infidelity. The beneficiaries are many, and among them several names stand out that had not been considered until now. Names that have been revealed And now Sonsoles on this Wednesday afternoon.
The first of them is Ana Umbral, sister of one of Tortosa's ex-partners, the singer Pepe Umbral. The two began a relationship in 1982 that would not last long, but subsequently their friendship remained until the artist's death in 2018. The actress and her sister-in-law were close friends, and this person in question has stayed away from public life and the media, now appearing in the will.
Another of the people present in the writing is another close friend of the Barcelona woman: Ana Congost. Speaking with Pilar Vidal in previous weeks, the beneficiary assured that she did not want to have anything to do with her will, but that Silvia had always maintained a special love for both her and her grandson. The charitable congregation Little Sisters of the Poor have also received compensation of 50,000 euros.
In the personal section, the family of her ex-husband Charles Davis is another of the favored ones. Tortosa decided to bequeath to her members the assets she acquired during her marriage in the United States, particularly the properties she had in Baltimore and Miami. In this way, both the cousins of the deceased and Carlos Cánovas are left out of the distribution of assets, despite the statements issued after her loss.
"It has all been very unexpected. No one expected it. We have had some terribly hard years in every sense. And after she, who was a fighter, overcame breast cancer, this complication came to her that has been devastating. It was, as she happened to his father, that the disease took him in a month with something very similar," said the widower in statements to the newspaper ABC.
