Carlos Ferrando passed away last Tuesday at the age of 76 years oldas announced by his friend, Alejandra Grepi, who found him at home with severe dehydration and with just “a thread of life”, as she herself explained. His entourage did not expect to have to say goodbye to him so early, as he had recently undergone surgery for a hernia, but he was fine. His family and friends said their last goodbye to him this Thursday in the Spanish capital.
The wake of the film critic was held this Thursday at the San Isidro Funeral Home in Madrid. From 2:00 p.m., numerous celebrities from the world of entertainment and television came to support their loved ones. Among those present was the actress Belinda Washington“He had already been writing his chronicles and every Sunday he had his section. He had a large audience with his way of telling things with acidity, his intelligent humor… He was not one to mince his words, but he was very quiet and knew great secrets that he never told.he regretted to the microphones of Sociality Club.
“He enjoyed life, a very free being, not tied down, not married. He was authentic, very wise, giving advice with his eternal cigar, that jocular laugh and how he made people laugh and his comments.”he said, adding that “it was a shock for everyone, people always speak well of those who leave, but he must have had enemies.” “It’s logical when you talk about others, but he had a very peculiar way of doing it and we can’t believe it,” he concluded.
Among those who came to say goodbye was the interpreter Rosa Valenti.. Very excited, she spoke about the last time she saw him: “It was on a television programme in which we were talking about all those who had already left our profession, such as María Teresa Campos. The legacy he leaves us is one of honesty. There are people who will miss him a lot because they have been with him lately, but I will too because I have been with him all my life, since I was 22 years old, he was a journalist who was very close to all the artists.”
“I found out about his death because a friend of mine called me telling me he had passed away. I couldn’t believe it because I had been having a drink with him 15 days earlier. I couldn’t help but come and say goodbye to him. He left, taking many secrets with him,” she said. Charo Reina, Cesar Henrich and Bibiana Fernandez also lamented the loss of the communicator at the funeral home.
