She died in Madrid from a stroke on September 13, 1959.

She met Manolete, the matador in the Chicote bar in Madrid, and was his girlfriend until his death by a fatal goring in the ring in 1947. This is the novel biography of an extraordinary woman. The cruel story invented based on slander about her person condemned her, banishing her from the memory of the people, wrapping her in a black legend that has haunted her to this day.

Her only sin: falling in love with the man of her life, Manuel Rodríguez Sánchez, "Manolete", perhaps the most influential and famous public figure of his time; with the audacity to live together without going through the vicarage, turning their relationship into a national scandal for Catholicism that was walking under a canopy.

She was the second of nine children born to Eugenia and Nicomedes.
