Peugeot 504
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Peugeot 504 is a mid-size, front-engine, rear wheel drive automobile manufactured and marketed by Peugeot for model years 1968-1983 over a single generation, primarily in four-door sedan and wagon configurations — but also with two-door coupe, convertible and pickup truck variants.
The 504 was noted for its robust body structure, long suspension travel, and torque tube drive shaft — enclosed in a rigid tube attached at each end to the gearbox housing and differential casing, relieving drive train torque reactions. The 504 ultimately achieved widespread popularity in far-flung rough-terrain countries — including Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Cameroon, Benin, Kenya and Nigeria.
More than three million 504s were manufactured in its European production, with production continuing globally under various licensing arrangements — including 27,000 assembled in Kenya and 425,000 assembled in Nigeria, using knock-down kits — with production extending into 2006.
Having debuted as Peugeot's flagship at the 1968 Paris Salon, the 504 received the 1969 European Car of the Year.
In 2013, the LA Times called it "Africa's workhorse."

Betty Boop is one of the most enduring and recognisable animated characters in film history, a true icon of the Jazz Age. Created by Grim Natwick at the request of Max Fleischer, she appeared in 90 animated films between 1930 and 1939. 'La Boop' quickly became known as 'The Queen of the Animated Screen.' She is the first fully human, all-female animated character, rising from a supporting role to star in her own popular series, produced by Fleischer Studios and released by Paramount Pictures. On 11 February 2026, she makes her debut on our blog European Film Star Postcards!

Ford Mustang History
- First Generation (1964 1/2-1966)
- Second Generation (1967-1968)
"By 1967, the Mustang had something it hadn't had before: competition. Chevrolet was now making the Camaro, Pontiac the Firebird, and Plymouth had redesigned the Barracuda into a more serious machine. Even within Ford, Mercury was now selling the Cougar.
Ford's response to that competition was a new, slightly larger Mustang with an all-new body over what was pretty much the same chassis. The wheelbase was still 108 inches, but total length was up two inches to 183.6 inches and every styling feature was just a little bit exaggerated — the grille opening was bigger, the side scallops deeper, the taillights were now larger and concave instead of modest and convex, the 2+2 fastback's roof now extended all the way back to the trunk lid's trailing edge and the convertible's rear window was now a two-piece item made of real glass instead of instantly hazing plastic. A hood with dual recesses was optional.
The standard power plant was now the 200-cubic-inch six making 120 horsepower with a 250-cubic-inch (4.1-liter) 155-horsepower six and the 200-, 225- and 271-horsepower K-code 289 V8s optional. New on the menu was a 390-cubic-inch (6.4-liter) "big-block" V8 breathing through a Holley four-barrel carburetor making 315 horsepower. Accommodating that wider engine meant that the front suspension's track needed to be widened by 2.5 inches for clearance.
With its wider track, the '67 Mustang was a more stable car than the '66. The seats were more comfortable, and the instrumentation was easier to read. It was, generally speaking, a better car in every way that counted. Ford sold 356,271 coupes, 71,042 2+2s and 44,808 convertibles during '67 despite the new competition. Of those, only 472 cars were equipped with the 271-horsepower 289, while around 28,800 had the 390 under their hoods.
Federally mandated side marker lights and a revised grille distinguished the 1968 Mustang from the '67 on the outside, while a slew of new engines set it apart mechanically. A low-performance 195-horsepower 289 V8 was still an option, but the other 289s were gone in favor of two new 302-cubic-inch (4.9-liter) versions of the small block V8. The two-barrel 302 made 220 horsepower, while the four-barrel-equipped version put out 230 horsepower.
More glamorous than the revised small V8s were new 427- and 428-cubic-inch (both convert to about 7.0 liters) versions of the big-block V8. The more radical 427, which had a slightly higher-compression ratio and wilder cam, was rated at 390 horsepower, while the more civilized 428 knocked out 335 horsepower. Both the 427 and 428 were very rare options. Those big engines hinted at what was in store for the Mustang over the next few years."

Notes: Although Queen Victoria had been photographed several times in 1860 and 1861, with the specific intention of issuing the results in the new carte-de-visite format, she had so far always been portrayed primarily as a woman and a wife. For example, the homely and informal portraits of her and Prince Albert by John Mayall, which showed her reading or with children on her lap, gave no indication of her rank. This image, taken by Charles Clifford at Windsor Castle, was the first intended for public distribution to show her as a Queen, in evening dress, diadem and jewels.
It was taken at the specific request of Queen Isabella II of Spain, who had already sent her own portrait in carte format to be included in Queen Victoria’s rapidly growing collection. She even sent her own Court photographer to England to carry out the commission, Charles Clifford, an Englishman resident in Madrid since 1852. Clifford had express instructions to return with a stately photograph of a ruling sovereign looking regal.
Although the photograph was taken on 14 November 1861, the pirating of royal images was so rampant that publication was deliberately delayed until after the passing of a copyright act. The image was eventually entered at Stationers’ Hall on 9 February 1863 by A. Marion and Co. on behalf of Clifford’s widow, Jane. The CDV was published by Cundall, Downes & Co, 168 New Bond Street, London
The portrait was a great success with public and critics alike. Isabella II was delighted with the result of her commission, and Queen Victoria herself liked it so much that she had it copied in oils.
The imposing nature of the regal portrait was short-lived. The following month Prince Albert died and the Queen’s long cult of widowhood began. For many years the public were force-fed the image of their sovereign in heavy widow’s weeds, weighed down by the enormity of her grief.

Spanish postcard by Ediciones Tarjefher, no. 214. Photo: Epoca Films.
Spanish singer and actress Rocío Dúrcal (1944–2006) was called the ‘Queen of Ranchera’, the traditional Mexican song. She began in the 1950s as a child star and as a teenager, she appeared in a series of popular Spanish 1960s musicals. Later she focused on her musical career, became a star in Mexico and Latin America and won for her albums with rancheras and ballads several Latin Grammy awards.
Rocío Dúrcal was born María de los Ángeles de las Heras Ortiz in Madrid, Spain, in 1944. She was born and raised in Spain in the bosom of a working-class family. At the age of 10, ‘Marietta’ took part in the radio show, Conozca a sus Vecinos (Meet Your Neighbours). In these shows, she charmed the audience with her clear and melodic voice that also made her a winner in many other radio contests that she participated in those years. She was secretly supported by her paternal grandfather, who believed in her talent and was her first fan. In 1959, with the approval of her parents, she participated in the television program Primer Aplauso (First Applause). For the contest she sang the traditional song La sombra vendo. Manager Luis Sanz was impressed by her talent and personality and signed her up. Soon after, she started taking singing and dancing lessons with Lola de Aragón and Alberto Lorca. From that time, Maria began working as Rocío Durcal. Durcal is taken from a town in the province of Andalucia in southern Spain. Her new name was used for the first time in her debut film, the musical Canción de Juventud/Song of Youth (Luis Lucia, 1961). The film was a huge box office hit in Spain and in other Spanish-speaking countries. Soon followed another film vehicle, Rocío de La Mancha (Luis Lucia, 1963) and a record deal with Phonogram (now Universal Music). At this time many other young singer-actors in Spanish films were popular, including Raphael, Marisol, and the twin sisters, Pili and Mili. The songs Dúrcal performed in her films served to make her debut album, Las películas de Rocío Dúrcal (The films of Rocío Dúrcal, 1962). It was the start of a successful recording career. Durcal traveled to Mexico, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and the United States where she appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. In her fourth film, Tengo 17 años/I am 17 (José María Forqué, 1964), Dúrcal abandoned the role of child star. That same year, she made her stage debut in Un domingo en Nueva York (A Sunday in New York), in which she proved to be a good theatrical actress. In 1965 she filmed Más bonita que ninguna/Prettier than any (Luis César Amadori, 1965) for which the pop group Los Brincos (considered at the time as the Spanish version of The Beatles) wrote some songs. In 1966, she shared the spotlight with Enrique Guzmán in the film Acompáñame/Accompany me (Luis César Amadori, 1966). She began to perform duets with such singers as Jaime Morey and Amalia de Isaura. Then she co-starred in the film Amor en el Aire/Love in Flight (Luis César Amadori, 1967) with Argentine singer-songwriter Palito Ortega and Fernando Rey. The following year, she filmed Cristina Guzmán (Luis César Amadori, 1968), the first of her films that was aimed at an adult audience. She plays the double role of a young widow with a child, is asked to replace a missing woman, and of course the missing woman who suddenly returns.
In 1970, Rocío Dúrcal married Philippine musician Antonio Morales, better known as Júnior, a former member of Los Brincos. He would later manage her singing career. In 1972, Morales began a series of television shows in Spain and Latin America singing with his wife as a duo. Their first child, Spanish actress Carmen Morales de las Heras, was born in 1970. After the birth of their second child, Antonio Morales de las Heras, in 1974, Morales decided to give up his career to devote time to their children. In 1979 they had their third child, Shaila Morales de las Heras, who is now also a singer under the stage name of Shaila Dúrcal. Dúrcal continued her film and singing career. During the 1970s she appeared in such films as the musical La novicia rebelled/The Rebellious Novice (Luis Lucia, 1971) and the French-Spanish thriller Dites-le avec des fleurs/Say it with flowers (Pierre Grimblat,1974), starring Delphine Seyrig. Her final film was the drama Me siento extraña/I feel strange (Enrique Martí Maqueda, 1977). In 1977, Dúrcal signed a contract with Ariola Eurodisc, from then on dedicating herself to her musical career. That year, while in Mexico, she met the Mexican singer-songwriter Alberto Aguilera Valadez, better known as Juan Gabriel. He convinced her to perform a popular Mexican style known as ranchera. They recorded a whole album of rancheras entitled Rocío Dúrcal canta a Juan Gabriel. Backed by the Mexican band, Mariachi América, this resulted in unexpected hits, popularity and awards, not only in Spain and Mexico, but also in Latin America and in the Hispanic community of the United States. Dúrcal and Juan Gabriel decided to continue to record rancheras together. Dúrcal's album named Canta A Juan Gabriel Volumen 6 (1984) is among the top ten best-selling albums in the history of Mexico. For this album Rocío Dúrcal received her first Grammy Award nomination. The collaboration of Dúrcal with Juan Gabriel was interrupted by disagreements between the artists and because of problems of Juan Gabriel with his record label, so Dúrcal continued to record albums with other songwriters such as Marco Antonio Solís and Rafael Pérez Botija. She moved from rancheras to romantic ballads. In 1988 she recorded the album Como Tu Mujer with producer Marco Antonio Solis.
In 1990, Rocío Dúrcal recorded her first album on CD format entitled Si Te Pudiera Mentir. In 1991, Durcal offered a concert at the National Auditorium in Mexico City, recorded in a double disc El Concierto... En Vivo. Between 1992 and 1993 she recorded the album Desaires, produced by the Mexican singer and songwriter Joan Sebastián. In this album she reprises ranchera. With this album, released simultaneously in Mexico, the United States, Colombia, Venezuela and Spain, she made a promotional world tour. In 1995 she launched her production Hay Amores Y Amores, with songs written and produced by the Argentine Roberto Livi. For this album she was nominated again for a Grammy Award in the category Best Latin Pop Album. In 1997 the double album Juntos Otra Vez brought Rocío Dúrcal and Juan Gabriel together again for the last time. In 1998, under the direction of her discoverer Luis Sanz, she starred in the Spanish TV Show Los negocios de mamá. In 2000, she celebrated 40 years in the industry. In that year she returned to ranchera music with the album Caricias, under the production of songwriter and producer Bebu Silvetti. In 2001 Rocío Dúrcal recorded Entre Tangos Y Mariachi, again produced by Bebu Silvetti, an album that includes 10 of the most famous Argentine tango arrangements interpreted with ranchero/bolero style like her previous album. In the summer of 2001 Dúrcal made a successful tour in Spain, after 13 years of no shows in Spain. In 2001 Dúrcal recorded Dama, Dama for Mujer, an album released by BMG Music Spain as part of a campaign to raise funds for an organization against breast cancer. In 2002, she performed a concert at the National Auditorium in Mexico, which was recorded in the double album En Concierto... Inolvidable. The album was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award. In 2003, the artist received another Latin Grammy Award nomination for her album Caramelito, produced by Kike Santander. In May 2004 she returned to Spain to record what would be her last album Alma Ranchera, which was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award, but did not win. A year later she received a Latin Grammy Award for musical excellence. Dúrcal had been diagnosed in 2001 with uterine cancer. In 2006, Rocío Dúrcal died at her home in Madrid. She was 61.

Ford Mustang History
- First Generation (1964 1/2-1966)
- Second Generation (1967-1968)
"By 1967, the Mustang had something it hadn't had before: competition. Chevrolet was now making the Camaro, Pontiac the Firebird, and Plymouth had redesigned the Barracuda into a more serious machine. Even within Ford, Mercury was now selling the Cougar.
Ford's response to that competition was a new, slightly larger Mustang with an all-new body over what was pretty much the same chassis. The wheelbase was still 108 inches, but total length was up two inches to 183.6 inches and every styling feature was just a little bit exaggerated — the grille opening was bigger, the side scallops deeper, the taillights were now larger and concave instead of modest and convex, the 2+2 fastback's roof now extended all the way back to the trunk lid's trailing edge and the convertible's rear window was now a two-piece item made of real glass instead of instantly hazing plastic. A hood with dual recesses was optional.
The standard power plant was now the 200-cubic-inch six making 120 horsepower with a 250-cubic-inch (4.1-liter) 155-horsepower six and the 200-, 225- and 271-horsepower K-code 289 V8s optional. New on the menu was a 390-cubic-inch (6.4-liter) "big-block" V8 breathing through a Holley four-barrel carburetor making 315 horsepower. Accommodating that wider engine meant that the front suspension's track needed to be widened by 2.5 inches for clearance.
With its wider track, the '67 Mustang was a more stable car than the '66. The seats were more comfortable, and the instrumentation was easier to read. It was, generally speaking, a better car in every way that counted. Ford sold 356,271 coupes, 71,042 2+2s and 44,808 convertibles during '67 despite the new competition. Of those, only 472 cars were equipped with the 271-horsepower 289, while around 28,800 had the 390 under their hoods.
Federally mandated side marker lights and a revised grille distinguished the 1968 Mustang from the '67 on the outside, while a slew of new engines set it apart mechanically. A low-performance 195-horsepower 289 V8 was still an option, but the other 289s were gone in favor of two new 302-cubic-inch (4.9-liter) versions of the small block V8. The two-barrel 302 made 220 horsepower, while the four-barrel-equipped version put out 230 horsepower.
More glamorous than the revised small V8s were new 427- and 428-cubic-inch (both convert to about 7.0 liters) versions of the big-block V8. The more radical 427, which had a slightly higher-compression ratio and wilder cam, was rated at 390 horsepower, while the more civilized 428 knocked out 335 horsepower. Both the 427 and 428 were very rare options. Those big engines hinted at what was in store for the Mustang over the next few years."

Saab 900
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"he Saab 900 is a compact luxury automobile which was produced by Saab from 1978 until 1998 in two generations.
The first generation from 1978 to 1993 is known as the "classic" and the generation from 1994 to 1998 is known as the "new generation".
The "classic" Saab 900 was based on the Saab 99 chassis, though with a longer front end to meet U.S. frontal crash regulations.
The 900 was produced in 2- and 4-door sedan, and 3- and 5-door hatchback configurations and, from 1986, as a cabriolet (convertible) model.
There were single- and twin-Zenith carburettor, fuel-injection, and turbocharged engines, including both Full Pressure Turbo (FPT), and, in European models during the early 1990s, Light Pressure Turbos (LPT)."
(...)
- Saab 900 "Classic" (1978-1993)
"The Saab 900 is a front-engined, front-wheel-drive compact car with a longitudinally mounted, 45-degree slanted, inline four-cylinder engine, double wishbone front suspension and beam-axle rear suspension.
It was originally introduced in May 1978, for the 1979 model year."
(...)
- 1987 facelift
"A new grille, headlights, front sidelights and so-called "integrated" bumpers freshened the 900's look for 1987, though the sheet metal was largely unchanged. Several common parts for the 900 and 9000 were introduced for 1988 model year, including brakes and wheel hubs."
(...)
"The 8-valve engines were phased out in 1989 and 1990, with the turbo versions having been removed in North American markets by the end of 1984; North American 900S models received the non-turbo 16-valve engine for 1986. A non-turbo 16-valve engine replaced the 8-valve FI unit in the 900i (900S in North America) as well, while the carbureted engines were dropped. "
(...)
- Saab 900 NG (1994-1998)
"The second or 'new' generation Saab 900 (also referred to as the GM900 or NG900 among enthusiasts) was built on GM's GM2900 platform as a replacement for the "classic" first-generation Saab 900.
This all-new 900 was produced in the 1994 through 1998 model years.
In Mid 1998 it received over 1100 individual improvements (although some were actually introduced on the 1998 model 900), and was renamed the Saab 9-3 (in most markets; in the US the name change was introduced for 1999).
As the 9-3, the NG900 was produced through 2002."

Spanish postcard by Ediciones J.R.B. Photo: Cifesa. Sarita Montiel in El Último Cuple / The Last Torch Song (Juan de Orduña, 1957). Sent by mail in 1958.
Spanish singer and actress Sara Montiel, also known as Sarita and Saritísima, was a beloved and internationally recognised figure in Spanish-speaking cinema. In the late 1950s, Montiel achieved the status of mega-star in Europe and Latin America with El Último Cuple / The Last Torch Song (1957). This film and La Violetera / The Violet Peddler (1958) netted the highest gross revenues ever recorded for films made in the Spanish-speaking film industry. Montiel was also the first woman to distill sex openly in Spanish cinema at a time when even a low-cut dress was not acceptable.
Sara Montiel was born as María Antonia Alejandra Vicenta Elpidia Isidora Abad Fernández in the village of Campo de Criptana in the province of Ciudad Real, Spain, in 1928. Her parents were Isidoro Abad, a peasant who later operated a bar, and Maria Vicenta Fernández, a door-to-door beautician. At 15, Montiel won a beauty and talent contest held by Cifesa, the most influential film studio at that time in Spain. The next year, she made her film debut in Te Quiero Para Mí / I want you for myself (Ladislao Vajda, 1943), credited as Maria Alejandra, a shortened version of her real name. In spite of the small part, the young actress caught the attention of producers and directors who realised her enormous potential. By the end of 1944, she was given the starring role in the film Empezó En Boda / It Started at the Wedding (Raffaello Matarazzo, 1944), which introduced her with a new image and a new name: she was now a sophisticated blonde named Sara Montiel. In the next four years, she appeared in 14 films. Soon her colleagues started calling her 'Sarita' (Little Sara) due to her youth. The nickname caught on with the press and the public, consequently. Since then, both Sara and Sarita have been used in credits and publicity. In 1947, she played the role of Antonia, the niece of Don Quixote, in Don Quijote de la Mancha / Don Quixote (Rafael Gil, 1947), the Spanish film version of Cervantes's great novel. Her first international success was her role as an Islamic princess in Locura de Amor / The Mad Queen (Juan de Orduña, 1948) with Fernando Rey. Locura de Amor led to a contract in Mexico, where she established herself as one of the most popular film actors of the decade. She made a total of 13 Mexican films between 1950 and 1954. Due to her popularity in Mexico, Hollywood came calling, and she was introduced to American filmgoers in the Western Vera Cruz (Robert Aldrich, 1954), co-starring with Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster. She was offered the standard seven-year contract at Columbia Pictures, but she refused, afraid of Hollywood's typecasting policies for Hispanics. Instead, she free-lanced at Warner Bros. in Serenade (Anthony Mann, 1956) with Mario Lanza and Joan Fontaine, and at RKO in Run of the Arrow (Samuel Fuller, 1957), opposite Rod Steiger and Charles Bronson. Director Anthony Mann became her first husband.
Back in Europe, Sara Montiel became the most commercially successful Spanish actress during the mid-20th century. The film musical El Último Cuplé / The Last Torch Song (Juan de Orduña, 1957) was an unexpected success. It played for a year in the same theatres in which it opened. A similar reaction followed in the other European countries and in Latin America. El Último Cuplé turned Montiel into an overnight sensation both as an actor and a singer. Then she achieved the status of mega-star with La Violetera / The Violet Peddler (Luis César Amadori, 1958) with Raf Vallone. It broke the box-office records set by El Último Cuplé. She won the Premio del Sindicato (at the time Spain's equivalent to the Oscar) for best actress two years in a row for her performances in El Último Cuplé and La Violetera. From then on, she combined filming highly successful vehicles, recording songs in five languages and performing live all over the world. Among the films that continued her immense popularity were Carmen, la de Ronda / The Devil Made A Woman (Tulio Demicheli, 1959) with Jorge Mistral, Mi Ultimo Tango / My Last Tango (Luis César Amadori, 1960), and Pecado de Amor / Sin of Love (Tulio Demicheli, 1961). By 1962, she had become a legend to millions worldwide, reaching markets that had previously been ‘uncharted territory for the Spanish cinema. La Bella Lola (Tulio Demicheli, 1962), a new version of Camille with Antonio Cifariello and Maurice Ronet, La Reina del Chantecler (1963), and Noches de Casablanca (Henri Decoin, 1963) with Maurice Ronet spread Sarita's popularity to Eastern Europe, Greece, Turkey, Israel and Japan. Samba (Rafael Gil, 1964) with Italian actor Fosco Giachetti, La mujer perdida / The Lost Woman (Tulio Demicheli, 1966) with Massimo Serato, Tuset Street (Jorge Grau, Luis Marquina, 1967) with Patrick Bauchau, and Esa Mujer / That Woman (Mario Camus, 1969) followed. In 1973, her film Varietés (Juan Antonio Bardem, 1971) was banned in Beijing. By then, she had become a legend to her millions of fans, but she became dissatisfied with the film industry when producers started offering her roles in soft-core porno films. In 1974, Montiel announced her retirement from movies but continued performing live, recording and starring on her own variety television shows in Spain.
Sara Montiel has been married four times: to American film director Anthony Mann (1957-1963), industrial attorney José Vicente Ramírez Olalla (1964-1978), attorney-journalist José Tous Barberán (1979-1992), and Cuban videotape operator Antonio Hernández (2002-2005). With José Tous Barberán, she adopted two children: Thais (1979) and Zeus (1982). Before, during and after these marriages, she had countless affairs. During the Franco dictatorship, Spanish stars were forbidden to behave in any way that could be perceived at odds with Christian principles and morality; consequently, they kept their private lives very private. Montiel was no exception. Pre-marital or out-of-wedlock relationships were never mentioned, and her civil marriage to Anthony Mann was underplayed, along with the divorce. After starring in the film Cinco Almohadas Para Una Noche / Five Pillows for a Night (Pedro Lazaga, 1974), Montiel announced her retirement from the cinema. She complained about the almost pornographic turn taken by the Spanish film industry after censorship was abolished in the post-Franco era. For a long time she concentrated on highly successful stage musicals: 'Sara en Persona' (1970-1973), 'Saritísima' (1974-1975), 'Increible Sara' (1977-1978), 'Super Sara Show' (1979-1980), 'Doña Sara de La Mancha' (1981-1982), 'Taxi Vamos Al Victoria' (1983-1984), 'Nostalgia' (1984-1985), 'Sara, Mes Que Mai !!' (1986), 'Sara, Siempre Sara' (1987-1988) and 'Saritízate' (1989-1990).
In the 1990s, Sara Montiel surprised everyone by branching out into television: Sara y Punto (1990), a mini-series of seven one-hour episodes, included a serialised biography of the star, many popular guests including Luciano Pavarotti and Charles Aznavour, and Montiel singing her greatest hits in addition to new songs written especially for her. Next came Ven al Paralelo (1992), taped in a Barcelona theatre where Montiel hosted, sang and acted in comedy sketches in front of a live audience. In 2000, she published her autobiography 'Vivir es un placer' (Memories: To Live Is A Pleasure), an instant bestseller with ten editions to date. A sequel, 'Sara and Sex', followed in 2003. In these books, Montiel revealed other relationships in her past, including one-night stands with writer Ernest Hemingway as well as actor James Dean. She also claimed a long-term affair in the 1940s with playwright Miguel Mihura and mentioned that science wizard Severo Ochoa, a Nobel Prize winner, was the true love of her life. She was portrayed in the Pedro Almodóvar film La mala educación / Bad Education (2004) by Gael García Bernal as the transsexual character Zahara, and a clip from one of her films was also used. In 2009, the pop group Fangoria invited Montiel to record a track for the re-release of the band's album 'Absolutamente'. The title track, 'Absolutamente', became a Top 10 hit. After almost 40 years without making a film, she accepted a role in the comedy Abrázame / Hold (Óscar Parra de Carrizosa, 2011). The film was shot on location in Montiel's birthplace in La Mancha. According to the star, in this film, she dared to do "a parody of her old screen image, just for fun." Sara Montiel died in 2013 at home in Madrid. She was survived by her children, Thais and Zeus.
