Overview

  • Mirtha Legrand hosted Lucía and Joaquín Galán on La Noche de Mirtha Legrand on August 10 and screened her 1991 mimed take on Pimpinela’s “A esa.”
  • The 97-year-old diva confessed she felt like a frustrated singer and recounted staying up all night to master the lyrics for a flawless performance.
  • Legrand’s direct query “Did Maradona fall in love with you?” left Lucía Galán momentarily speechless and prompted her to joke “Let’s go to a break.”
  • Lucía recounted her nine-month romance with Diego Maradona in 1982–83 as a young, special chapter that ended due to distance and life paths.
  • She revealed she respected Maradona’s family request not to attend his November 2020 funeral to honor the wishes of his children and ex-wife.
