  Durante años, el rostro de Rafael Amaya ha estado asociado con poder, peligro y seducción. Como Aurelio Casillas, el protagonista de El Señor de los Cielos , fue el símbolo de una masculinidad feroz: el hombre que lo tenía todo y que no temía a nada. Pero detrás del personaje, hay un ser humano que aprendió —con golpes, risas y lágrimas— que la vida no siempre se conquista a balazos ni con glamour… sino con humildad, humor y una cerveza en la mano. La frase “Salí a buscar el amor de mi vida y regresé con un cartón de chelas” no es solo una broma viral. Es un reflejo del nuevo Rafael Amaya. Un hombre que, después de haberlo tenido todo y perder casi todo, ha decidido reírse de sí mismo, abrazar la imperfección y celebrar los pequeños placeres que antes pasaban desapercibidos. Hubo un tiempo en que Rafael vivía en modo Aurelio : siempre acelerado, rodeado de fama, luces y ruido. El éxito de la serie lo lanzó a la cima, pero también lo sumergió en una soledad silenciosa.

Josephine Tewson's most famous roles in Keeping Up Appearances, Last of the Summer Wine and with The Two Ronnies

By -

 

Josephine Tewson was a familiar and beloved face in British comedy for decades. With her subtle and graceful acting, she left an indelible mark on audiences through many roles. However, three of her roles became iconic, defining her career and earning her a special place in television history: the anxious neighbor in Keeping Up Appearances, the charming librarian in Last of the Summer Wine, and the perfect supporting player alongside The Two Ronnies.

Elizabeth Warden in Keeping Up Appearances

For global audiences, Josephine Tewson's most notable role is undoubtedly Elizabeth Warden, the long-suffering and perpetually terrified neighbor of Hyacinth Bucket (played by Patricia Routledge) in the classic sitcom Keeping Up Appearances.

Tewson brilliantly portrayed a gentle, timid woman who constantly had to endure the stressful demands and invitations for "coffee" from her social-climbing neighbor. Her comedic climax—often ending in her shattering Hyacinth's precious Royal Doulton cups out of sheer nervousness—became one of the show's most memorable running gags. Tewson's ability to convey panic with just a glance or a trembling hand was a masterclass in situational comedy. She created a character who was both pitiable and lovable, a perfect counterbalance to Hyacinth's snobbery.

Lucinda Davenport in Last of the Summer Wine

Following her success in Keeping Up Appearances, Josephine Tewson joined another classic British sitcom, Last of the Summer Wine, in 2003. In the role of Miss Lucinda Davenport, a retired librarian and the love interest of main character Clegg (Peter Sallis), Tewson brought a new energy to the show.

Unlike the ever-anxious Elizabeth, her character Lucinda was composed, intelligent, and somewhat sly. This role showcased Tewson's versatility, proving she could handle gentle, romantic roles just as skillfully as comedic ones. She remained with the show until its conclusion in 2010, becoming an integral part of the final years of the world's longest-running sitcom.

A Foundational Role with The Two Ronnies

Before becoming a sitcom star, Josephine Tewson was a regular face on the legendary sketch comedy show The Two Ronnies, alongside comedy giants Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett. On this show, she often played the "straight woman"— a crucial comedic role that provides a serious anchor for the absurdity and wit of the main performers.

Her ability to maintain a calm demeanor while the most ridiculous situations unfolded around her demonstrated her excellent comedic timing and skill. It was her time on The Two Ronnies that helped her hone her craft and establish herself as a reliable and gifted comedic actress on British television.

From spilling coffee in terror to finding love in the Yorkshire dales, or keeping a straight face opposite comedy legends, Josephine Tewson proved herself to be a master of her craft. She will forever be remembered as a graceful talent who brought laughter and warmth to millions through her classic roles.
