The last goodbye to María Rosa Fugazot

The world of entertainment is mourning the loss of acclaimed Argentine actress María Rosa Fugazot, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 83. Her death marks the end of an era for many who admired her extensive career in comedy and drama.

Fugazot's final farewell took place with a wake at Av. Córdoba 5080, concluding around 2:00 PM. A service was then held at the Chacarita Cemetery chapel, followed by her interment in the Actors' Pantheon, a resting place for prominent figures in Argentine performing arts.

My life unfolded with María Rosa; think that the Negra was 83 years old and I am 59. I grew up with these monsters of Argentine humor. I define that the last of a golden generation is leaving.

Colleagues and friends remembered Fugazot with deep affection and respect. Gustavo Sofovich, a producer, described her as "the last of a golden generation" of Argentine humorists, reflecting her significant impact on the industry. He noted her strength, comparing her to an 'oak tree,' even as she navigated profound personal grief.

Despite facing the immense pain of losing her son, René Bertrand, less than a year prior, Fugazot remained active. Sofovich mentioned that she was engaged in her work and caring for her two grandchildren, showing a remarkable resilience. Her passing occurred in her apartment in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, with police confirming no signs of violence at the scene.

Human nature is not to see a child die but to have a child bury you. I can't imagine what that pain must be like, but I saw her, and she could never mourn him. And when we got together, it was like being in front of an oak tree, but that eats away at you inside.
