At 77 years old, the actress, presenter and singer Silvia Tortosa has died after suffering from an illness that she made public 5 years ago, in 2019. In this way, the entertainment world now mourns the death of a much-loved actress.
Silvia’s life, who had a successful professional career, after becoming the popular performer of ‘Farmacia de Guardia’, ‘Curro Jiménez’ and ‘Hostal Royal Manzanares’, among others, was also marked by her love life, as she was full of heartbreak and tragic news.
In fact, love landed very early for Tortosa. At the age of 19, the Catalan married Hermann Bonnin, a theater director almost 13 years older than the actress.
However, in her biography, with the title My hidden life: an interior nude, the actress explained that her first husband was called Alfredo and that it was not difficult for her to break up their marriage, since it had never been consummated. “I got married very young. He was my theater teacher and we confused friendship with love,” reports ‘Pronto’ magazine about the actress’ words.
Later, for various reasons, the relationships he also maintained with Rafael Arcos and José Umbral did not work well either.
However, it was in 1985 when Silvia met her second husband. An American named Charles Davis, dedicated to aeronautical engineering. However, shortly after the wedding, Silvia suffered one of her greatest misfortunes, as Charles died from pulmonary edema and metabolic cardiomyopathy.
Despite that, her third step down the aisle would come from the hand of a friend of her late husband, the Englishman Dave Harper. However, after five years of dating, the couple, who married in Pennsylvania, separated in 2003.
Finally, 16 years ago, in 2008, Silvia met her partner until his death, the producer Carlos Cánovas. In fact, despite the 23-year age difference between them, Silvia always highlighted the love she felt for Cánovas. “I have been in love with the same man for seven years and I plan to be in love for the rest of my life,” the actress explained several years ago.
“He is a very intelligent man, with extraordinary technical capacity in terms of sound, image and editing. He has me amazed. He has a very good character, I am a very impulsive person,” he remarked.
