The star of the moment of

Your face sounds to me

("Don't miss my performance this Friday," he says) never stops smiling. "

I think I have the facility to always be smiling because I prefer to give life a smile

. I have my things and my problems, but I always add humor to everything. That is better than getting angry or negative."

Now,

Loles León

(Barcelona, ​​1950)

opens in theaters

El Refugio

(November 26)

, a family film in which he shares the limelight with

David Guapo, María Barranco and Leo Harlem

.

And, as happens so many times in the cinema, although it is set in a high mountain hotel in the harshest of winter, it was shot in August.

"In this profession we always shoot in winter with summer clothes and vice versa.

Imagine what it was like to shoot in June with a wool sweater and feathers (laughs)".

ALWAYS WITH ENTHUSIASM

Despite everything, Loles León always has good memories of his work. In this case, in addition to praising her classmates, she

acknowledges having been very attentive to a 10-year-old girl, Luna Fulgencio

, with whom she agreed in

Father there is no more than one 2

. "With a girl like that, with so much talent, you

enjoy because you teach her things about cinema at the same time that you share her enthusiasm for what she does.

That is very important when you are an actress. And it makes you never throw in the towel."

At 71 years old "is what my card says. In my head, in my life and in my feelings ... I have another. I don't know which one",

this actress with almost fifty films behind her has even written a book of recipes ("I still have many at home and I give them away from time to time").

It was in 2013 when this Barcelona woman

released the book

Cooking with Loles

.

Three years he would participate in

Masterchef Celebrity.

DIFFICULT BEGINNINGS

But it was never easy for Loles. And he didn't always make a living as an artist. Before getting on the theater tables, she dedicated herself to working as an administrator, typing. "

I have acted in plays with three people in the audience. And I have given everything.

Americans have a phrase that says 'you are worth as much as your next job'. So what you have done, even if it has been a success, is And

we should all keep in mind that we should never lower our guard and continue with enthusiasm, attitude and desire to improve ourselves.

Every job is a challenge because it is always in front of the public. Interpreting is what I like the most in life I think I have come to this world to entertain people and make them laugh. "

The 'secret of success' of Loles León is, as she says, "being born with joy.

I love life and I do not want to

leave this world and struggled to stay. I prepare, I take care of

and seeking formulas to be.

The The time is now. And you have to live it in the best possible way. That's why you have to relax and enjoy. " For this reason, when this versatile actress takes to the streets, in addition to her name they call her Menchu, La Tanqueta, Paloma or President. "All those are the names of characters that I have done in the series

Here there is no one who lives

and

The one that is coming

.

" Many stop me when I walk and tell me the phrases.

And they ask me to tell them on mobile phones.

There are those who have grown up watching me in theater, on TV or in the cinema.

And now I have very small fans.

From 9 years old and up, they usually recognize me for those two series ".

MADE IN USA OFFERS ... AND SEX

Despite his recognition in Spain, Loles León received offers on the other side of the Atlantic.

"When I filmed

¡Átame!

They called me from the US because there were very good reviews of my work in that Almodóvar film.

And an important actor agency wanted to take me there. But I didn't know English, I had my life here, my family. ..

I did not do like Antonio Banderas, but that was not possible.

I know that if I had been American I would be like Bette Midler and would sing, dance, do dramas, comedies ... But I was better off having become rich (laughs ) ".

Finally, Loles León is very aware of the help she gives many women by being so outgoing and talking about sex in public.

"Those comments have always come to me and I have always said that you have to be free. If at 52 I had a 21-year-old boyfriend! And I taught him ...

When I started in this I wanted to become an actress. Singing, dancing and being in it show. Almost all of those who started with me dedicated themselves to something else. And I know that with my interviews I have always reached many women who appreciated that I spoke about freedom, fulfillment and pursuing your goals.

Many have asked me not to stop to be who I am, perhaps because they saw in me a strength to stand up and fight for whatever they wanted.

So I will never stop being me and sending messages that we must not give up. "
