sad summer for Maria Teresa Campos who, for the first time in his life, will not move from Madrid, will not even leave his house, a 140-square-meter rental apartment, without a terrace, in the Aravaca area. Her previous home, measuring 1,600 square meters and 15 rooms, had a huge garden, two swimming pools in which the journalist swam every day, in winter and in summer.
Things have changed a lot for the 82-year-old great communicator. After her forced professional retirement and her forced break with Edmundo Arrocet (73), everything has gone downhill.
Now Teresa lives with her head lost in other worlds, with difficulties in communicating and recognizing those around her and very lonely. Her daughters have decided Cut off visits from close friends that they could still see her and spend a while giving her encouragement. This gesture by Carmen Borrego and Terelu Campos has deeply upset some of them. They consider that it is very possible that Teresa can still feel a kiss, a handshake or a hug and that any sign of affection from her would be very positive for her.
“Friends are there to love you as you are, older, with gray hair, without makeup, without the desire to talk, disheveled. But alive and in need of affection,” they say, saddened by the isolation imposed on Teresa.
Summer comes to her locked in her apartment, unable to spend the afternoon leaning out on the terrace (which doesn’t exist), with her eyes lost in the landscape. It is the first time that María Teresa will not be in her apartment in Malaga in the summer, although last year, the summer in her hometown was fleeting and strange. Surely, the inside of her was no longer as it should be.
In July 2022, Teresa went to Malaga with her daughter Terelu and a service person, but unexpectedly returned to Madrid a few days later, much earlier than expected. Something was wrong.
We haven’t seen her outside her Madrid apartment for a long time. Her friends won’t be able to visit her at her house either. Bad times for one of our greatest characters. María Teresa is to the world of communication and television or radio as shell velasco o carmen sevilla in that of interpretation. Unrepeatable stars, living legends in their professions.
