a failed documentary, a manager who is no longer with her and a professional decision

At his splendid 73 years, Isabel Preysler She has never had a manager but she has always had boyfriends or husbands, except since she broke up with Mario Vargas Llosa (as far as we know). socialite The Filipino woman negotiated directly with her friends at Porcelanosa her glamorous collaboration with the Valencian firm, also with the Italian candy makers of Ferrero Rocheror agreed with his favorite magazine on his usual exclusives.

However, the situation of the ex-wife of Julio Iglesias, Carlos Falcó and Miguel Boyer changed when Mario Vargas Llosa, After eight years, he left the Puerta de Hierro mansion slamming the door. What happened next was something surprising, when he gave explanations in Hello, the abandoned girlfriend, justifying in an exclusive, that the breakup was due to the writer’s “unfounded jealousy”, something that the Nobel Prize winner flatly denied.

The life of the mother of Tamara Falco She then took a radical turn. For the first time she had neither boyfriend nor husband and for the first time, her image, in the face of public opinion, was not as impeccable as it had been until then. So she decided to make herself known as a woman with her own projects, unrelated to relationships and love affairs. She hired a Belen Lacalle, As a manager or coach, a woman known for years as the press officer in Spain for a very important British car brand, and who had a very significant social connection, such as being the aunt and godmother of Belén Corsini, wife of Carlos Fitz-James Stuart, Count of Osorno and second son of the Duke of Alba.

From this collaboration came “My Christmas“, the Christmas documentary about how Isabel and her family live these endearing holidays. But not only was it a failure in terms of audience, there was also mockery and criticism when it was revealed that The filming had been done in the previous month of Augustwith Madrid melting at 40 degrees, as the nougats melted on the Christmas table dressed for the occasion (so to speak, because the air conditioning works in Isabel’s famous residence). And that despite the fact that the former new assistant to Miguel Boyer’s widow organised a snack at the family home for several journalists close to Preysler to promote the premiere of the documentary, although, according to the disastrous result, it did not achieve the desired effect in terms of audience or views. Data aside, it seems that Isabel no longer has the services of this public relations person and is back to square one. She has taken a very important professional decision: again It is Isabel herself who manages exclusives, invitations to events and public events, and possible advertising contracts. That is, as always and with the success that we all know.

The failed documentary about her Christmas experience premiered on Tuesday, December 5th of last year. The two chapters have Isabel as the protagonist in what was her return to the television universe. It has been 26 years since that Telecinco program entitled “Hoy en casa” (Today at home), in which Preysler presented different sections that dealt with protocol, health or beauty, but she never obtained large audiences and nevertheless received very harsh criticism in which the Filipino socialite was labeled as “cold”, “artificial” or “unnatural”. On Monday, December 4th, the day before the premiere, Disney, the producer of the mini series, called a press conference to explain the project and the promotion was joined by her presence with Pablo Motos in The Anthill, ‘boss’ of his daughter Tamara.

Everything was measured and studied by the person who was then acting as manager, Belen Lacalle, Now, with its own communications office and other equally important clients, such as the Vatican itself in Rome. Isabel Preysler, who will turn 74 in February, She has spent most of her life in various marriages with the fathers of her five children and in recent years she was the girlfriend of Mario Vargas Llosa, with whom she broke up exactly two years ago.

This failed television adventure had a reason, according to one of her best friends: “She didn’t want to stay at home to dress saints,” she told us. “Now she wants to get some fresh air, have her own life without a master at her side, regain her own prominence. She wanted to It is proven that life does not end when a romance ends, although “we will see if it has the same appeal as before,” added this friend with some skepticism.
