Books Fiorella Faltoyano: "I get naked for 20 euros"
Autobiography Fiorella Faltoyano, the liberated woman
You have to go back to the mid-1960s when the immeasurable Luis Escobar went to the ARA Theater-School in Malaga to direct his homonymous work
Love is a runaway colt.
Among the cast, a very young Fiorella Faltoyano (72) played a little role that caught the attention of the also VII Marquis of Las Marismas del Guadalquivir.
"Would you like to come to Madrid?"
She asked him somewhat sardonically.
"Yes, to work as a professional," she replied;
"Good to know," replied the actor.
At the age of 17, he made his debut in the capital, at the Eslava, bought by the aristocrat in 1956. On stage, a luxury:
Nati Mistral, Esperanza Roy, Pedro Osinaga
... The play?
La bella de Texas
, which on the big screen was renamed La corte de Faraón (1985) and in which another of the ARA students,
Antonio Banderas
(61), acted.
It was
a three month contract
.
"I had a blast because it
was one of the happiest times of my life.
Luis was a fantastic character from an immense culture," Fiorella confesses to LOC who, suddenly, explains an anecdote from the shooting of the series
Tango
(1992): " We had some
sequences in the house where the Marquises of Urquijo were assassinated
. Luis and I were waiting in a room where a
tapestry covered the entire wall.
I told him: 'It's beautiful, what century is it from?'
He raised his eyes and began to move his fingers saying
'lizard, lizard, there is a peacock'
He did not understand what was happening and said to me: 'Nothing to you commoners, but
it gives us nobles very bad luck.
That's why the crime was!"

notable popularity
thanks to the dozens of programs starring in
Estudio 1
and

She would soon make her film debut with
Singles Club
(1967).
The protagonist of
La colmena

The official presentation of her will be carried out by her friend
José Sacristán

The actress, who has always stood out for her elegance and good education, has lived for years with the director and film critic
Fernando Méndez-Leit
e (77) in a
splendid mansion
in El Viso where they were
neighbors of Aline Griffith, Countess of Romanones .
To what extent is it a declaration of intent that is expressed in the prologue: "The embarrassment produced by the discovery of feelings that are not within the reach of new technologies is the great victory of human curiosity"?Decades ago you were not afraid the gossip press because Javier de Montini, Tico Medina were there... At present we want to defend ourselves against attacks.
It is very easy to be recorded, the phone gives you away, the security cameras on the streets see everything, so there is an exposure, whether or not you are a public figure.
But if you are, the situation goes further and is very scary.
Look what happened recently to Candela Peña with that freak who harassed her.
That feeling of being on the air to protect what I think, who I sleep with or who I love is a need to defend privacy.
Where does curiosity end and gossip begin? The limits are very diffuse.
Curiosity is an intrinsic characteristic of the human being that becomes gossip when with that curiosity you start to make blood.
I find gossip terrible, dramatic. He has worked with the aristocracy of Spanish cinema, from Paco Rabal to María Luisa Ponte, passing through José Bódalo, Agustín González and Mary Carrillo.
What common denominator is there between them?
That's called talent!
And what is talent?
I don't know, but I guess it's a combination of intelligence, a sense of humor, and being a person.
In 99% of the cases there was always an extraordinary human being, although I did get the occasional disappointment.
They were unrepeatable beings. He has been very lucky. I am grateful to life for having worked with everyone.
But the forties arrived and I had a very long hiatus.
So with a partner I set up a clothing store where I had a lot of fun selling.
I played the glamorous saleswoman character (laughs). Her late husband, producer José Luis Tafur, financially supported José Luis Garci in his first film,
Pending subject
(1977), Did you think twice before accepting? José María González Sinde was also behind it.
It seemed to me that I didn't even have to think about it because what I liked the most was the script written by Garci and Sinde.
I never questioned him.
It was a fantastic moment to enter the cinema with capital letters since I basically came from doing theater on television.
I made a leap of faith (laughs).
