Concha Velasco is now enjoying a well-deserved break from the world of acting after a lifetime dedicated to her professional career. A career that, although it is paused, continues to be recognized. Velasco has been awarded this Friday with one of the Virtuoso Awards for her impeccable career in front of the camera. It should be remembered that during her career, she has worked as an actress, presenter and comedian. This award has made the presenter very excited, as members of her family have revealed to Europa Press.
Other recognized faces were also among the winners, such as Ãlvaro Garcés, Mayra Gómez Kemp, Jesús Cimarrro, Enrique Cerezo or Ana Rosa Quintana. The truth is that one of the most exciting was that of Concha. Little is known about the state of health of the actress, who has been living in a residence since last year. That is why the ceremony was attended in her place by MarÃa Jesús Varona and Irene Cruz, Concha’s cousin and her daughter. They received the award and gave a very emotional speech from the actress.
“According to the Royal Academy of the Language of Spain, the term ‘virtuous’ means the following: that is exercised in virtue or works according to it. Typical of the virtuous person. Said of a thing that has the activity and natural virtue that It corresponds. Said of an artist who dominates, in an extraordinary way, the technique of his instrument and said of a person who dominates any art or technique, “began the actress’s speech.
“I want to think that you give me the prize as an artist because I, instruments, have only played castanets and I wasn’t exactly bad at it,” MarÃa Jesús continued to say, although the words were really Concha’s. “Now seriously, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering me a virtuoso in what is mine: acting. It is an honor,” she expressed.
After the entertaining speech of the actress, Europa Press was able to speak with MarÃa Jesús. She confessed to the aforementioned medium that this award has filled Velasco with happiness. “She gets very excited with all the awards, she is always very grateful and also encourages her now that she is weaker. She is very happy,” revealed her cousin, also happy for the recognition.
“He has done everything and has spent his whole life working and doing everything very well. He receives that affection from people and the respect that they give him above all,” says the artist’s cousin. And it is that if there is something that makes the loved ones of the actress proud, it is all the love that she receives from her audience. “It is the best, especially when one is older and reaches the end of his artistic career, because the important thing is to continue to have affection,” she says.
Concha Velasco’s state of health is a matter of concern among her loyal followers. In recent months, the actress would have suffered a worsening, which is why it is common to see her son, Manuel Velasco, stepping out to update her state of health. If the presenter does not lack something, it is the warmth of her family, who are always by her side to give her their unconditional support
