Last Friday, July 21, we heard the sad news of the death of socialite Marta Chávarri at the age of 61. The former Marquise de Cubas was found lifeless at her home in Madrid around five in the morning, after having suffered a stroke. Her assistant at her home was the one who found her and called the emergency services, which when they arrived they could not do anything for the socialite.
This unexpected news was a severe blow to the entire Chávarri family, but especially to his only son, Álvaro Falcó, the fruit of his marriage to the late Fernando Falcó. Upon learning the news, he immediately went to his mother's home together with his wife Isabelle Junot, as several media outlets that were in the vicinity were able to collect.
Although at first he did not want to make any statement, hours later Marta Chávarri's son wanted to confess before the cameras of various media outlets that his mother's death "had taken them by surprise." ''She was in a magnificent moment, very excited about her granddaughter, physically well, mentally phenomenal,'' he affirmed. "We are all devastated because we do not understand what could have happened," he declared last Friday.
Many famous faces wanted to come this past weekend to the Peace Funeral Home in the Madrid town of Tres Cantos to say their last goodbye to one of the most important personalities in the social chronicle in the 90s. After having starred in numerous headlines related to her sentimental life, Marta Chávarri stayed away from the media spotlight throughout all these years.
The media pressure he suffered during his golden age caused him to suffer "social phobia and not being able to be with people." This is how the journalist Beatriz Cortázar told it this Monday in the Antena 3 program Y ahora Sonsoles. ''She isolated herself, surrounded herself with very few people,'' she confessed.
Something that was very characteristic of her in her later years were her sunglasses. "Marta was with them even in a closed place because it is a way of hiding, of delimiting your territory," the journalist affirmed.
