In the golden age of mexican cinema there were several child actors who conquered the public, thanks to their charisma and witticisms, as was the case with Maria Eugenia Flamesbetter known as “The Tucita”. She debuted in 1948 at the age of four, in the film “The Three Huastecos”, starring Pedro Infante from Sinaloa and Blanca Estela Pavón; It was directed by filmmaker Ismael Rodríguez.
Mexican actress María Eugenia Llamas was also part of the films “They say I’m a womanizer” and “El seminarista”, with the character of “La Tucita”. She also worked alongside Sara García, Rosa Carmina, Joaquín Cordero and Evita Muñoz “Chachita”.
He died at the age of 70 on August 31, 2014 at his home in Zapopan, Jalisco state, Mexico, due to cardiac arrest.
In a talk that the television host had Maru Lozano Flameswith her sister Fernando Lozano for her YouTube show, narrated how the last moments of her mother María Eugenia Llamas were.
“La Tucita” lived with her daughter and one day before she died, she had severe pain in her spine, so Maru took her to the emergency room of a hospital near her home. The doctor channeled her, put her on serum and several pain relievers. She remained in the hospital for a few hours, waiting for her discomfort to subside. Feeling better, she returned home.
That Saturday night, Maru Lozano and her mother were watching a mariachi festival on television and laughing together. She then goes to sleep, but her parent stayed up until dawn. “My mom was very sleepless, I go for some tacos, we have lunch, everything is fine.”
Like around 11:00 a.m. “La Tucita” got sleepy, she went up to her room and got ready to sleep. She asked her daughter to put something on TV for her while she fell asleep. Maru put on a Eugenio Derbez show on Comedy Central, and programmed the television to turn off in 30 minutes.
When falling asleep, the sister of Fernando Lozano take the opportunity to go to the supermarket. “Luis stays at home, I do the supermarket, he came back, (I ask him) ‘my mom hasn’t woken up, no'”. She goes to see her and she was asleep and snoring.
She prepares the food and goes back to her mom’s room. She was still asleep. already in the afternoon, touching one of the pain pills the doctor prescribed, he goes upstairs to wake her up.
“She was breathing, she wasn’t snoring and I woke her up, she wasn’t reacting and I was like ‘mom, mom’, she was still breathing but no.” In that, María Eugenia Llamas made a kind of sigh. “In my life I had given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, I don’t know if I did it right, I think not.”
I think my screams could be heard throughout the city, it’s such a difficult feeling of wanting to revive your mother and not being able to, not knowing what to do, I didn’t know who to talk to.
When calling a hospital to ask for help and an ambulance, he communicates with another person “I told her, ‘something happened to my mom,’ I knew she was gone, at that moment where she, it wasn’t even an exhalation, It was like… I don’t know, like a blackout, I yelled at him, I gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, I don’t know what happened and I didn’t want to find out, like why, the ambulance came and obviously he was gone.”
