The actress Concha Velasco died unexpectedly this Saturday at the age of 84 and, as it could not be otherwise, everyone has shown their deepest dismay at the loss of a Spanish artist with a very long and successful professional career. . As confirmed by family sources, she died early in the morning at the Puerta de Hierro hospital in Majadahonda (Madrid).
The actress's health began to deteriorate last year, to the point of having to enter a nursing home to receive the care and attention she needed. Concha was a woman very loved by her family and friends, who have paraded little by little through the burning chapel of the La Latina theater. Many prominent figures from the theater and film scene have also expressed their condolences through social networks.
Manuel Velasco and Paco Marsó, the artist's two sons who were by her side until her last breath, have appeared devastated in front of the press. Concha's niece, also a performer Manuela Velasco, has said goodbye to her reference and has described her as "the best aunt in the world."
Another of the attendees was Samuel, Concha's grandson, who is only 15 years old. As a result of the relationship between Paco Marsó and Cecilia Cruz, the young man dedicated some very moving words to her just before entering the theater. To the journalist's question "How are you going to remember your grandmother?", the boy gave an answer that touched the hearts of everyone present.
"With a lot of love and as it was, the best. The best for me," he said. Next, another journalist asked her about an anecdote about Concha, to which Cecilia responded that she will remember "many things" but that they will "do it later." The reporter ended the conversation with "our girl yeyé, forever."
Both Samuel and Cecilia came dressed in rigorous black and carried a symbolic portrait of the deceased. In it she was seen smiling, dressed in red and with two hoops as earrings. Mother and son have shown it to the cameras.
