Pepa Flores, the unforgettable Marisol, is celebrating this Saturday because turns 75 The child prodigy who fell in love with an entire country was barely 11 years old when she went on stage for the first time, captivating the entire audience with her self-confidence.
Her broad smile and her angelic gaze drew attention in her debut with ‘A Ray of Light’, in 1960. Marisol was smiling, funny, a pizpireta… She grabbed premieres in movie theaters and starred in films with actors like Carlos Larranaga and Isabel Garces.
He carved out a prolific professional career in the cinema early on until ‘Tómbola’ arrived, one of his biggest hits. The tape took her to the top and made her an icon of copla and flamenco.
However, Marisol rebelled against that tender and exemplary image. He was a member of the Communist Party and proudly defended that: “neither pretty, nor nice, nor sweetheart: pro-Soviet”. She was married twice and had three daughters with the dancer Antonio Gades..
In 1987 he got off the stage and lives anonymously -or at least as discreetly as possible- in his native Malaga, away from the spotlight. There it will blow –with a happy heart, We wish it that way – the candles of his 75th birthday.
