• Television: Concha Velasco apologizes to Isabel Gemio 20 years after her television disagreement

From Valladolid to touch the sky. That girl who told her mother about "mom, I want to be an artist" visits El Hormiguero tonight . At 80 years of age, he has achieved almost everything: the Max of Honor 2019, the Goya of Honor 2013, the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts (1987) and Merit at Work (2008), the Great Cross of the Civil Order of Alfonso X el Sabio (2016) and, above all, the greatest prize: the love and applause of the public and the respect of the press.

She was born as Concepción and made her artistic steps as Conchita , but for several generations of Spaniards she is, plain and simple, the Velasco. Since she made her first film in 1954 she has not stopped. With The Girls of the Red Cross (1958) he devoted himself to his beloved Tony Leblanc. Then came films that are part of the history of this country, such as Historias de la Televisión (1965), La colmena (1982) or Yo me bajo en la next, and you? (1992). She has also reigned in the theater with Ven y ven ... al Eslava (1959), Filomena Marturano (1979, 2006) or Hécuba (2013-2014) and triumphed on television: Teresa de Jesús (1984), Sorpresa, surprise (1999 ) and currently in Cable Girls.

In private, Concha has suffered. And a lot. Too. She has had four great loves. During the filming of El indult (1960), he fell in love with the director José Luis Sáenz de Heredia , married, with children and a relative of José Antonio Primo de Rivera, founder of the Falange. For a decade it was 'the other', since the director never wanted to divorce and, therefore, he fell into the arms of the actor Juan Diego while they represented Arrival of the Gods (1971). The director felt angry because Conchita was slipping out of his hands, however, the actress took another hit because Juan did not want to get married.

Again, in 1975 La Velasco fell into the networks of another married man with children, the cinematographer Fernando Arribas. The press shut up that sneaky romance that culminated in the arrival of the actress's first son, Manuel, to whom he had to give his two last names because he was a single mother, a situation very frowned upon during Francoism. The following year, she fell in love as a fool with Paco Marsó, who eventually took her to hell. They married in 1976 and ended up divorcing in 2010.

Her husband cheated on her with cheerful young ladies , squandered the family fortune in casinos, had problems with the Treasury and produced millionaire works that led to losses. For example, their investment in La truhana (1992) caused them a debt of almost 265,000 euros, so they had to sell their La Moraleja mansion because they could not pay the mortgage.

Shortly afterwards, the Treasury claimed 721,214 euros for the VAT of 1996, 1997 and 1998; with the work Hello, Dolly! (2001) returned to have red numbers and this same year she sold her apartment in the Sanchinarro neighborhood (Madrid) to settle her debts with the Treasury and went to live for rent. The biggest thing was when seven years ago he had to take out 50,000 euros from his pension plan to pay off some of Marsó's debts, who had died two years earlier. Fortunately, the man did something good, like having his son Paco, who he has given to his only grandson, Samuel, the man with whom he is truly in love.

Currently without properties, she is the sole administrator of three companies that have not had any activity for years: Production and general promotion of shows SA, Martínez Velasco producciones artísticas SA and Velasco Varona SL. To make matters worse, in 2014 he was diagnosed with a lymphoma that has caused important sequelae since he needs help going down the stairs, he can lose his balance easily and his fingers are deformed. Still, she is reluctant to retire. He has been touring all of Spain for months with the play El funeral.
