Spanish comedian, singer and actor Fernando Esteso died
in Valencia, Spain on February 1st. He had just turned 81 two weeks before.
Fernando Esteso Allué was born on January 14, 1945 in Zaragoza, Spain into a
family of jota artists. His destiny was on stage from the beginning: he debuted
at the age of six in "The Boy of the Jota" and cut his teeth in
variety theater and revue. This early training gave him a versatility that
would allow him to master humor, singing and acting, soon becoming one of the
most recognized figures in show business in Spain at the time. His golden age
came between the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s, when he
formed with Andrés Pajares the most profitable comedy duo in Spanish cinema.
Under the direction of Mariano Ozores, they starred in massive hit films like
his only Euro-western “Al este del Oeste” as Bill Golden Pistol in 1983.
