Flor Silvestre - Personal Life

Personal Life

When in her twenties, Silvestre married television presenter Paco Malgesto. They had three children, Marcela Rubiales, Dalia Inés, and Paco Malgesto Jr. Marcela and Dalia became singers and actresses.

Her first film with Antonio Aguilar was La huella del chacal, in 1956. Flor Silvestre confirmed to Don Francisco that during her first films with Aguilar, they had not been romantically involved. It was not until later films that Aguilar began to fall in love with her, and as she quotes "were lovers" because of their films prior to 1959. They married on October 29, 1959, shortly before the release of their film The Soldiers of Pancho Villa. Aguilar and Silvestre also had two children, both singers, Antonio Aguilar Jr. (in 1963) and Pepe Aguilar (in 1968).

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:

    The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    It is cowardly to fly from natural duties and take up those that suit our taste or temperament better; but it is also unwise to take an exaggerated view of personal duties, which shuts out the proper care of the mind and body entrusted to us.
    Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)

    I am so tired of taking to others
    translating my life for the deaf, the blind,
    the “I really want to know what your life is like without giving up any of my privileges
    to live it” white women
    the “I want to live my white life with Third World women’s style and keep my skin
    class privileges” dykes
    Lorraine Bethel, African American lesbian feminist poet. “What Chou Mean We, White Girl?” Lines 49-54 (1979)
