María Galiana proves once again that age is not a limit to remain active, lucid and with a discourse of her own: the actress from Seville, one of the most beloved faces of Spanish television thanks to her role as Herminia in Cuéntame cómo pasó, has recently been featured in La Revuelta, David Broncano’s program, where she reviewed her vital and professional present with the naturalness and common sense that characterize her.
At 90 years old, Galiana keeps away from the digital noise, does not use social networks, and observes the current world with a certain distance, something that does not prevent her from continuing to work or participate in new audiovisual projects. Her visit to the program left moments of humor, reflection and some unexpected confessions.
An active life without giving up independence
One of the aspects that most surprised the audience was her relationship with driving: María Galiana said that she has recently renewed her driving license, after passing the corresponding medical examination. She did it with pride and without dramatizing the limitations of age: she assures that she sees well and that, for hearing, she makes do with hearing aids.
While waiting to receive the definitive card, he drives with a provisional license and continues to use the car in his daily life. He drives to do the shopping, to visit his children and, whenever he can, to go to the beach, one of his small daily pleasures: all this he told with humor, aware that his routine breaks many clichés associated with old age.
His vision of money and the values he keeps intact
During the chat, Broncano asked her a striking question by showing her the most expensive car in the world. Galiana’s reaction was immediate, and she said that she “doesn’t understand” this kind of exorbitant expenses, making it clear that, even if she has a fortune, she would never spend such a figure on a luxury item.
The actress explained that, in that case, she would prefer to dedicate the money to create a foundation or help people without resources, because that is what would allow her to live with a clear conscience. A simple answer, which immediately connected with those present and reinforced the idea of a woman who is coherent and aware of her values.
What became of María Galiana’s life
Far from retiring, María Galiana continues to be linked to the world of acting: in recent times she has participated in series such as Atasco, demonstrating that she continues to enjoy her profession without the pressure of age. She lives at her own pace, prioritizing family, tranquility and the small routines that give meaning to the day to day.
She is far from the media noise, but her public presence is still relevant whenever she decides to speak. At the age of 90, Galiana not only preserves the memory of a long artistic career, but also maintains a way of being in the world based on independence, irony and social commitment.
