To speak of Marta Chávarri, who died at the age of 62, is to speak of one of the most glorious eras of the press of the heart, that of the beautiful people. That group of beautiful, intelligent, liberal and millionaire people formed by Miguel Boyer, Mariano Rubio, Isabel Preysler or José Manuel Entrecanales, among others, were the leaders in the economic-social estates of the 80s and part of the 90s.


Martha didn't need publicity. Nor did he feel like it. Above all, from the ordeal lived by the persecution of the paparazzi as a result of her infidelity with Alberto Cortina while she was married to Fernando Falcó, III Marquis of Cubas. The protagonist of our story already appeared in the social echoes when she was born in 1960, since she was one of the granddaughters of Álvaro Figueroa y Torres, I Count of Romanones, Marquis of Villamejor and Grandee of Spain.

The County of Romanones was granted by Queen Regent Maria Cristina of Habsburg-Lorraine, mother of King Alfonso III, to Álvaro Figueroa y Torres with whom she maintained an intimate friendship, since they also shared a fondness for films of high sexual content. In fact, the Filmoteca Valencia treasures in its archives three porn films commissioned by the great-grandfather of Felipe VI through the intermediary of the count. In his time, the nobleman was one of the largest landowners in our country, in addition to having held important political positions such as president of the Senate and the Congress of Deputies or mayor of Madrid.


From the sixth and last son of the nobleman, Agustín de Figueroa y Alonso-Martínez, III Marquis of Santo Floro, descend two fundamental women in the pink press, his granddaughter Marta and his daughter Natalia, renowned journalist and wife of the singer Raphael.

As if this were not enough, Marta is also linked to Aline Griffith, the spy who married Luis de Figueroa de Pérez de Guzmán el Bueno, III Count of Romanones. Aline was one of the key women among the international jet set whose closest friends were the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.


From that branch of the Romanones also descend two other characters of the pink press such as Blanca and María Suelves, in addition to some members of the Martínez de Irujor who also connected with the Alba.
