Before the outrageous era of the film of
the uncovering in which Silvia Solar stood out, there were already actresses
who were usually entrusted with characters of women of bad life, opulent ladies
wearing striking necklines, villains showing how much they left the watchman
censorship. Then, yes, at the border of the 70s and 80s they were able to
show everything they had and because of their mountain bodies. In between,
they appeared in the double versions that were filmed in Spain to project abroad.
Silvia Solar was a
veteran in those lides, with a filmography that surpassed the eighty titles, in
comedies of entanglement and in others of clear sexual content: The Curse of the Beast, Rats do not Sleep at Night, La maison
pertdues parades, Girls for Rent, Marital Relationship and Other Things, The
Cheerful Girls of El Molino, The Rapists of the Dawn, Sex Trap, Vicious Naked,
Those Girls so pu ..., I Look Silly for Weekend ...
Her name was really Geneviéve Couzaín, and she was born in France in 1940, who after winning
a beauty contest, established herslef in Spain, where she debuted in the
movie The Washers of Portugal, in 1957. She usually
developed very secondary roles but in which she dazzled the audience by her
blond beauty, her provocative physique. It was very much required by the
producers for those vampire roles. A
year later, she was included in the cast of The Clarines of Fear ,
whose protagonists were Francisco Rabal and Rogelio Madrid, she fell in love
with the latter, who would be in her future and in real life her crush.
Rogelio Madrid was an extreme Extremaduran who tried his luck in the
world of bullfighting. With little fortune then in its beginnings, crushed
in the Madrid
bullring of Carabanchel (later called Vista Alegre) and was seriously injured
by a flag that pierced one of his lungs. This forced him to forget his
bullfighting dreams forever. He could compensate, at least, when changing
the suit of lights for the profession of an actor, they called him for films
related to bulls. Given his photogenic looks he took part in other films,
although almost always in episodic roles. A nice hustler when the
production companies no longer called him, whom we saw for the last time
exercising public relations in some discos and in a restaurant. By the
way, his real last name was Mandri, which he altered himself from the capital
of Spain.
I don't know how
long Silvia Solar and Rogelio Madrid lived
together. She developed her artistic facet until 1988, when she made her
last film appearance in Barcelona,
in Sinatra, which starred Alfredo Landa. She
retired to the Costa Brava and died in Lloret
de Mar on May 18, 2011, at the age of seventy-one years. Among the many
vampires of Spanish cinema, she was probably one of the most suggestive.
