Spain has had a heavy heart since the news was made public that the actress, presenter and model Carmen Sevilla is admitted to a hospital in serious condition after suffering some complications from her state of health.
Last Sunday, June 25, the artist was admitted in critical condition at the Fundación Jiménez Díaz University Hospital in Madrid, something that set off all the alarms. It must be taken into account that Carmen Sevilla has been fighting Alzheimer’s for more than 13 years, a disease that has taken its toll on her physical and mental health, so any complication linked to her advanced age, 92, can lead to hospital admission and a difficult situation.
María del Carmen García Galisteo, better known as Carmen Sevilla, is one of the most respected and beloved artists in our country and there are those who describe her as a national treasure.
Throughout her vast career, which spanned more than five decades, Sevilla participated in a large number of projects, from film and television to modeling. Despite the endless number of jobs she has had, many of her remember her for her participation in the Telecupón or her last years of her conducting Cine de Barrio.
The artist has suffered from Alzheimer’s since 2009, although her condition was not made public until 2012. Since 2015, Concha Velasco’s friend has been very well cared for in a residence, but the support of her son Augusto Algueró has been key to cope with the disease.
Augusto Algueró Jr is the only son of the actress, the result of her marriage to the composer and music producer Augusto Algueró, who died in 2011. Although not much is known about him and he has declared on more than one occasion that he does not like fame and notoriety, is the main source of communication in the media regarding the actress and gave an interview some time ago in which she acknowledged that her mother “no longer recognized her” and that she was not aware of her notoriety . Even so, the artist publicly appreciated the expressions of affection that his mother continues to receive today.
Algueró was born on July 3, 1964 in the Madrid capital, where he still lives today. The only son of the “girlfriend of Spain” is 58 years old and is dedicated to the artistic world, specifically to the music, film and television composition, production and creation industry. Algueró has come to work at La Sexta as musical director and to put the soundtrack to films like First and Last Love, by Antonio Giménez-Rico, for which he too has reaped some success and relevance.
Regarding his personal life, the composer has been divorced for seven years from Marta Díaz, with whom he had his two children. In a “recent” interview with Diez Minutos magazine, Algueró shared that his children are “phenomenal, very big” and that they are the most important thing for him.
According to various media outlets, Augusto Algueró Junior is the only heir of the actress Carmen Sevilla as he is her only offspring, so he will inherit a great fortune the day his mother dies.
When she was still working and making public appearances, Carmen Sevilla joked a lot about her retirement and made it clear that she had been saving for many years “so that she would not lack anything” when she retired.
