In the 50s of the last century, viewers around the world closely watched the fate of the main characters of the film "Age of Love". Today, there are few who remember the plot of the tape, but the audience did not manage to forget the charming actress of short stature, with an aspen waist and an alluring voice timbre under the name Lolita Torres.
Lolita Torres in the 60s was recognized as the sexiest and most sought-after Latin American actress. Note that she realized herself not only as an actress, but also a singer.
Childhood and youth
Beatriz Mariana Torres is from Argentina. She was lucky to be born in a primordially creative and intelligent family. It is not surprising that, having matured, she also decided to connect her life with the stage.
From the age of seven, the girl was desperately engaged in folk dancing. Beatrice was persistent. No matter how hard it was for her, she did not give up. Sometimes, from regular dancing, she developed painful wounds - having bandaged her legs, she continued to work.
As a teenager, Torres first appeared on the stage of the Avenida Theatre. Then the girl decided to perform under the creative pseudonym Lolita, which was invented for her by her uncle.
As a teenager, Lolita experienced a strong emotional upheaval. When she was 14 years old, her mother passed away, who supported the girl in all her creative endeavors. The woman died in an accident. She fell off a cliff and was hospitalized as a result of her injuries. The girl's mother fought for her life for several months, but eventually died.
Beatrice will blame herself for the death of the dearest person until the end of her days. As it turned out, the girl offered to take a photo of her mother at the very top of the mountains. This event had a strong impact on the emotional state of the girl.
The head of the family was a man of strong views. After the death of his wife, his character became even more aggravated. Despite the fact that he had no idea how to cope with raising children alone, he firmly decided that he would not remarry.
Father followed Beatrice. He insisted that she spend more time studying. The man did not allow any liberties regarding his personal life. But, the head of the family went very far. For example, he did not allow his daughter to kiss even during the filming of films. Repeatedly he had to be forcefully removed from the set.
The creative path of the singer Lolita Torres
In the 50s, the popularity of the actress peaked. By that time, her filmography included several musical films.
In an interview, she said: "I never looked for popularity and success, but they always ran after me."
When the tape "Age of Love" began to be broadcast on the screens, the singer's popularity knew no bounds. The film was broadcast not only in Argentina, but also in the Soviet Union. The film "Beautiful Lies" is another work that deserves attention. It was in this tape that the actress performed the song "Ave Maria".
In the mid-40s of the last century, the singer recorded the first disc, and then released several more long-plays. It is noteworthy that by the beginning of the 90s, her discography included 68 collections.
Details of the artist's personal life
Santiago Rodolfo Burastero is the first man who managed to steal the beauty's heart. They met in an Italian club. At that time he was resting in the company of his friends. When the guys saw that Lolita Torres herself was sitting at the next table, they began to argue about who would come up to the girl and invite her to dance. Santiago was not a timid guy. He approached the girl and "stole" her to the dance. Three months later, he made her a marriage proposal.
In 1957, the couple legalized the relationship, and a year later they had a son. The family led a reclusive life. They rarely got out of their house, and the most they could afford was going to a restaurant.
A happy family life was interrupted by the death of a spouse. One day the family drove out in their own vehicle towards the sea. The husband lost control of the car, and it fell into the pit. The car rolled over several times. The celebrity's husband was seriously injured, as a result of which he died. The woman was left a widow with a one-year-old baby in her arms.
The death of her husband is the second strong blow in the life of Beatrice, after the death of her mother. After the death of her husband, she refused to go out into society. Moreover, she was not interested in the stage.
She closely communicated only with the best friend of the late husband Julio Cesar Caccia. He gave her due support and helped her in everything. Over time, ordinary communication grew into something more. A romance began between the couple.
In the mid-60s, she married him. It was an ideal relationship in which there was simply no place for betrayal, abuse and intrigue. They have been together for over 40 years. She gave birth to her husband four children who followed in the footsteps of the famous mother.
