🌟 “Salí a buscar el amor de mi vida… y regresé con un cartón de chelas”: la confesión más humana de Rafael Amaya 🍻

  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. En 2019...

Judy Cornwell celebrates 60 years of marriage with John Parry in Brighton

By -


 WHAT is the secret to a successful marriage?

Actress Judy Cornwell, who has just celebrated 60 years with her husband John Parry, believes it comes down to treating each other as equals.

The Keeping Up Appearances star and former BBC arts correspondent have lived in central Brighton for 50 years, having first met on the Palace Pier in 1960.

John, 84, was working for The Argus as a reporter at the time and was sent to review a play Judy was starring in at the theatre which used to be on the pier.

He said: “Rather like how I felt about the girl on the stage, I wrote a favourable review. Shortly afterwards I went to knock on her dressing room door, and here we are 60 years later.”

It must have been love at first sight as Judy’s character in the play was “killed off in the first scene”.

The 80-year-old said: “I spent most of the play as a dead body.

“When John came knocking on my door my mother was so delighted he was a man in a suit.”

After spending the summer together, Judy decided to break with convention and proposed to John, who at first declined.

Judy said: “He said: ‘Women don’t propose to men’ but I told him it was a leap year - even though you’re supposed to propose on February 29 and this was actually October.

“It was very short notice and I had to get permission from the Bishop of Chichester to get married as I wasn’t yet 21. We married at St Helen’s Church in Hangleton and then I went off to do a pantomime.

“For most women who got married at that time, that was it. I think we were ahead of the times and it has worked.

“I just think we loved each other and we shared everything.”

John said: “Her career was flourishing and I was very keen for Judy to carry on her work.

“Most of our lives we’ve spent flying off in different directions and not being able to spend time together, so now we’re just enjoying being at home in each other’s company.”

The pair, who celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary on Friday, had originally planned to have a party but have postponed celebrations due to the pandemic.

Judy said: “We were so looking forward to having a party, but we ended up eating stuffed partridges in the kitchen. It was still lovely though.”

John added: “We’ve got to 60 years so something is working.

"Hopefully next year we’ll be able to have a big diamond anniversary party.”

  Una Stubbs obituary This article is more than 3 years old Sparkling actor whose long, eclectic career ranged from Shakespeare to Sherlock Bright and bubbly, tart and twinkly, Una Stubbs, who has died aged 84, was a revue regular and a Palladium pantomime principal boy who parlayed her natural song-and-dance talent into a later, diverse career on the classical stage. In earlier years she was best known for her roles alongside Cliff Richard in two high-spirited pop musical movies –  Summer Holiday  (1963) and  Wonderful Life  (1964) – and as Alf Garnett’s daughter, Rita Rawlins, married to a socialist layabout ( Anthony Booth , Cherie Blair’s father and so Tony’s father-in-law), in  Johnny Speight ’s classic TV series  Till Death Us Do Part  (1965‑75) and in episodes of its 1980s sequel,  In Sickness and in Health . Both of these incarnations are unimaginable today: a docile, amenable dolly bird hanging around Cliff and the Shadows, and a tol...
