At the beginning of the week we were stunned by the news of the death of the Malaga journalist María Teresa Campos, but the death of the actress, dancer and singer María Jiménez last morning has caught us all by surprise.
The artist's family has been in charge of transmitting the news by releasing a brief statement to Europa Press: "With deep sadness and pain in our hearts, today we say goodbye to María Jiménez, a woman loved and respected for her unwavering commitment to her family, friends and admirers. An indomitable spirit, an overwhelming personality, a strong and brave woman who fought against all adversities beyond imagination.''
The news caused a stir in our country, since María Jiménez had been dedicated body and soul to the show for more than 50 years and was one of the most beloved public figures in Spain. Her eternal smile, her shamelessness and her desire to have a good time made Jiménez a likeable character that people loved to see.
And, despite the fact that she suffered a lot during her life, the Andalusian always maintained a positive and vital attitude that made her millions of fans in the territory fall in love with her. It should be noted that Jiménez was one of the first celebrities to speak publicly about her experience as a victim of gender violence and abuse, since the artist suffered humiliation and complicated situations for many years from her partner. Thanks to her inner courage and her strength, the artist found a way to move forward and even dared to report in a very difficult social moment.
At the moment the reason that caused the death of the actress is unknown, but some people close to her circle, such as the singer Pitingo, have declared that she had been "very sick" for a long time.
Since early in the morning, countless celebrities, colleagues and admirers have begun to spread some images, photos, publications, etc. on social networks to honor the figure of the artist. Toñi Moreno, Valeria Vegas, Amor Romeira... many public figures have wanted to dedicate a final goodbye to one of the greatest actresses in our country.
Although everything indicates that Jiménez was suffering from a serious illness, a few weeks ago she shared a last publication in which she can be seen full of life surrounded by her loved ones. ''La Fontanilla Restaurant, always great! Thank you and until next time, what delicious grilled shrimp, for God's sake! '' Triana's wrote as the title of her post, revealing her vital energy and her fun personality.
The Sevillian singer made it clear in multiple interviews and interventions in the media that her family was a fundamental support in her life and that they had an unbreakable bond, something that those closest to her have shown by accompanying her until her last breath.
