The death of María Jiménez at the age of 73 in Seville has caused a flurry of reactions on the social scene. The actress, singer and dancer demonstrated for years that she had the skills to get in front of the camera and speak openly, leaving behind a multitude of great moments featured in the media.
There are many who this Thursday, after hearing the news of his death, wanted to show their condolences and publicly say goodbye to Jiménez. Among them are some great friends of the actress, such as the media bullfighter Fran Rivera, who participated during the afternoon on the program Así es la vida to talk about her.
“I had a very special relationship with María, a lifelong one. She was a close friend of my mother, of all of my people, and I called her ‘the boss,'” Rivera began, also remembering her mother Carmina Ordóñez, who died in 2004. “I loved her, I adored her, and it is a great shame that she is gone because the greatest of all is gone,” he said with emotion.
Sandra Barneda asked the bullfighter about a special memory that she associates with María Jiménez. “We are remembering a thousand anecdotes about María; the truth is that she had a strength and a personality, but above all I remember the great affection that she gave off, the strength that she has taught us with life lessons, because María has lived, but she has also suffered a lot,” he continued.
Fran Rivera recognizes that “María’s life has been very hard” and launches a powerful plea. “She has experienced terrible things, and how she has pushed ahead of her, and she has taught us that we have to enjoy life, that we have to drink it in long drinks,” she said on the Telecinco program.
“María was strength, life, and enjoying and laughing, and the truth is that I will never forget those lessons,” concluded Carmina Ordóñez’s son with his tribute to María Jiménez.
