Agata Lys has passed away at the age of 68. A prominent figure in the cinema of the 1970s and 1980s, she was one of the great faces and bodies of the uncovering, although she knew how to leave that stage behind and, when she had the opportunity, she showed that she was also a good actress.
The death of the singer, who has just been made public, it occurred last November 12th, although they have not disclosed the cause of his death. This has been confirmed by the Union of Actors and Actresses through its Twitter account.
Margarita García Sansegundo, as was her birth name, jumped from the small to the big screen after her appearance in the popular television program '1, 2, 3', by Chicho Ibáñez Serrador, in 1972.
It was there that the platinum blonde image was forged in which the brain was much less important than the rest of the body, a circumstance that she knew how to use throughout her career, without ever denying the roles that made her famous. For in Spain of the time, it was like having our own Marilyn Monroe. Lys came to star in 'La nueva Marilyn', in 1976, under the direction of José Antonio de la Loma.
At that time when the cost of costumes for her films was minimal, there was not a year in which Ágata Lys shot no less than ine films, almost all of very poor quality. The titles do not say everything about a film, but in some cases they were quite eloquent.'El último tango en Madrid', 'Strip-tease a la inglesa', 'El erotismo y la informática', 'Violación fatal' y 'Sexy... amor y fantasía', to give just a few examples, were not programmed in the art of essay rooms.
The writer and journalist Valeria Vegas, from whose book the series 'Veneno' was born, spoke on her Instagram account about what Ágata Lys meant for Spanish cinema. She said she was an "absolute sex symbol of a Spain that was beginning to wake up", but also a "wonderful actress." “She really died a little more than 40 days ago, in a mysterious (and unfair) silence that has not transpired to the media or the profession. She has left with the same discretion with which he decided to retire 15 years ago."
Radical change of course
At the end of the seventies, the actress took a turn in her career, which not too many directors were able to take advantage of. Despite everything. I have participated in prominent titles in Spanish cinema such as "Los santos inocentes', directed by Mario Camus, 'Taki', by Carlos Saura, and 'Familia', the surprising debut of Leon de Aranoa
She also did a lot of television. Shee then began to appear on some 'Estudio 1' episodes and worked on titles such as 'Curro Jiménez' , 'Necinos', 'Mamá quiere ser artista' y 'Puerta con puerta'. Her last role was that of Eulalia de la Torre in almost a hundred episodes of 'Amar es para siempre'. In 2006 she recorded the last ones and just disappeared.
Born in Valladolid on December 3, 1953, she lived in retirement from public life on the Costa del Sol.
