Tele This is how Mónica Van Campen is now, the (Spanish) model who was looking for Jacq's in the famous ad
Faces What became of Liborio García, the presenter of Total Impact, who one day disappeared from television
In 1993, the American model
Max Parrish
became a
mass idol
who gradually became an icon with its own identity.
That handsome young man with coal-colored hair and
lips as pronounced and full
as William Levy's in
Coffee with the Scent of a Woman
seduced men and women with a
simple gesture,
caressing his lower lip with his thumb.
A new Latin lover
was born
, the Martini Boy.
But that gesture was not devised by the Italian aperitif that based its stories on privileged settings on the coast of the country of the boot.
McCann Erickson
's publicists
were inspired by
Jean Paul Belmondo
's character in
Le Gout de Soeur
that every time he kissed a woman he rubbed his thumb over his mouth to
remove the remains of lipstick.
With a spotless
black suit
and sheltered behind
sunglasses of
the same color that hid his brown gaze, Parrish reached the zenith of his career and fame because since then
little or nothing has been known about him,
except that he has intervened in films .

Unwittingly, Parrish was one of the
most coveted names in
advertising.
Like his partner, a then unknown South African model named
Charlize Theron
who years later would be one of the
great stars of Hollywood.
Yes, she was that attractive blonde whose dress was unraveling as she walked until part of her derrière was visible.
From the beginning, his person was everything was a mystery.
A
perfectly executed
marketing strategy .
Nobody on the street
knew his name,
they did n't know the color of his eyes, they had no idea
what his voice was like
and, of course, any information regarding his private life had disappeared from the face of the earth.
The glamor had to be perpetuated.
Even during the visit he made to
Palma de Mallorca
driving a red Alfa Romeo from the 1960s to present one of the spots, he fulfilled his role to the letter.
The puzzle continued.
Nor was her true self revealed when she
was invited to the program
Surprise, surprise

Today,
almost 50 years old,
nothing is known about Max Parrish.
Not even if he is married or has children.
He has fallen into oblivion
.
As has also happened with his films,
Handcuff me, turn me on, kiss me
(1992) or
The story of O: Untold Pleasures
(2002) which apparently is his last work on the big screen.
That was 20 years ago.
