The film made the official selection of the Cannes Film Festival in 1988, this marked the beginning of her international acting career.

Actress (b. Valladolid, Spain, Dec. 3, 1953). After having studied simultaneously Philosophy and Art and Speech (both careers remained unfinished), she became a household name overnight as one of the pretty and "bespectacled" hostesses of the top-rated TV contest "1, 2, 3, Responda Otra Vez", where she popularized what was going to be her early screen persona: platinum blonde-dyed hair, provocative ways and a sensuality always ready to break out. She made her film debut in 1972, at 19, and acquired an enormous popularity thanks to her tremendous sex-appeal and a clever promotion campaign that exploited a certain similarity between her looks and those of the late Marilyn Monroe to the extent of making a successful movie named precisely "The New Marilyn" (1976). She kept this image for a while (especially in her spectacular TV appearances in the mid-70s), but eventually got tired of it and decided to cut off her hair completely (she did it herself with a pair of scissors borrowed from a filming kit) and let it grow its natural dark colour again. Blonde or brunette, Lys grabbed a long string of femme fatale roles in films of each and every genre (thrillers, comedies, dramas, westerns, etc.) and turned into some kind of domestic myth at that time. (She also had the advantage of owning a fine diction that matched her thought-provoking voice perfectly, so, unlike some other actresses of that era, she didn't need to be dubbed.) Anyway, after leading her bold image one step further in the late 70s, she decided to stop making films and concentrate on her theatrical work, that she had started in 1973 playing Dª Inés de Ulloa in Zorrilla's "Don Juan Tenorio" with her own company. In the 1980s she focused her activity on recording music (which she did with real gusto and vocal dexterity), performing in both musical shows and dramatic or comic plays in which she displayed an image far removed from the one that shot her to fame and even making more sporadic appearances on TV (playing, for example, a splendid Portia on a small-screen adaptation of Shakespeare's "The Merchant Of Venice"). The late 80s saw her returning to the movies and scoring some films of uneven success and quality, although she has always risen to the occasion. In any case, she is still an underestimated actress, though she has proved capable of giving such amusing characterizations as that of "Avisa A Curro Jiménez" (1978), where she seemed almost unrecognizable. Now she leads a rather reclusive life when not working (in contrast to the antics and eccentricities of her early career) and, although she has never married, she enjoys a very stable relationship with Fernando, her partner of some 20 years. Hers is really one of those examples of body-with-a-brain-on-top-to-match, and hopefully she will still be around for a large number of years.- Actress

Fernando Garcia Tola remains one of the most important figures in the Spanish Television of the transition era. His poignant and witty criticism on politics and society along with his versatility in directing, producing and conducting different kinds of programs, his writings and his love for painting present him as an unforgettable personality in the world of Spanish Tv and radio communication.
Garcia Tola left his paternal house when he was just 19 years old, and moved to Madrid where he started his career as a writer.
The way he conceived the tasks of TV production and realization meant a considerable change in the Spanish media. He worked as producer, worked with the best directors and in 1972 started himself as director of musical programs where the Franco censors put their remarks and cuttings. He also directed the program "Nieve" and the comical sketches by "Tip y Coll".
He became nationwide popular with his program "2 x 2". In 1980 he directed and presented the series "Flamenco" and in 1981 "Esta Noche" (Tonight), where Carmen Maura, the known Spanish actress started his career in the scenic. arts. In 1982 he directed the program "Buenas Noches". His impetuous personality led him to become the director of his own program, in 1984, where he was also its host and took charge of the script. This program was "Si yo fuera Presidente" (If ever I was to be president), a TV series that caused him some problems because of the freedom and sincerity with which the guests expressed their opinions.
In 1987 he worked daily for the Spanish radio and in 1988 he went back to TV, in "Dear Piruli" later on "Corazon". That year he published an essay entitled "How to make a man completely sad", book that was a best seller that year. He started a TV society dedicated to the until then almost inexistent private TV chains. He collaborated with many artists, like Joaquin Sabina. In 1989 he wrote "My temptations: Ten lessons to go down to Hell". He dedicated his time to the arts (painting was his favorite one)and he remained single all his life. He died from a long illness at the Clinic Ruber in Madrid at 04:00 on July 23 2003. His ashes remain at the Cemetery of La Almudena in Madrid.
