Quotes

  • Those who criticize dubbing do not realize that it is necessary, that many people do not want or cannot look at the posters while watching a movie.
  • I went to Madrid very young, at 18, when my father died, because he was against me studying Dramatic Art. I was lucky because nine months after entering Miguel Narros' school I already premiered a play Then Alonso Millán saw me and hired me, then I worked for television with Gustavo Pérez Puig, I made El libro del buen amor, films with Carmen Sevilla, Pepa Flores, Mariano Ozores, Vicente Aranda...
  • My family was always great to me. When my interventions began to appear on TV, in black and white, they gathered with the neighbors to watch me, because not everyone had a TV. My mother has defended me; For example, a report of mine appeared in 'Interviú', and her friends told her: "You have to see, your daughter showing her breasts." And she answered them: "Doesn't she have very pretty ones?"
  • My mother has seen almost all of my films, except those of Jesús Franco. By the way, thank goodness they gave the Goya of Honor to Jesús because he has dedicated his entire life to cinema: I have received letters even from France asking me for photographic material from filming with Jesús.
  • I don't think that being a supporting actor is pejorative either. I don't complain about the lack of recognition. Nowadays people work because they want to be famous, but I only wanted to work because it was what I liked: I was happy filming at six in the morning, at three in the morning, in the cold, in the heat.
