Lina Morgan's subtle death,

For her laryngeal cancer death on August 19, 2015, the actress wished to die quietly with her right-hand man, Daniel Pontes.

María de las Ángeles López Segovia, better known as Lina Morgan, was a highly successful and well-paid comedian in Spain. Her career in film, theater, and television earned her a wealth, but she spent her later years in private, struggling financially and with the sickness that killed her on August 19, 2015.

Lina, born in La Latina, Madrid, to an impoverished family, dreamed of becoming an actress like those she idolized when she could afford to go to the cinema with her inseparable younger brother José Luis.

The vedette’s hardest blow was José Luis’s 1995 death, but she always found solace in work, offering her audience an enduring grin until her last days. However, her inconspicuous death was followed by debate concerning a universal heir and a family the actress rejected.

Lina Morgan last appeared on Spanish Television’s 2012 Three Kings’ Day gala. The artist was rarely seen after that Ana Obregón presentation, but she died of laryngeal cancer three and a half years later.

Lina kept her illness private with her driver and right-hand man, Daniel Pontes. He managed the actress’s finances in her final years, and she left her fortune to him as her sole successor.

Pontes was widely attacked by the actress’s friends for taking her from her environment and prohibiting them from visiting her in the hospital, claiming it was his “boss” (with whom he still speaks). “He half-kidnapped her. Ángel Gutiérrez, the comedian’s former manager, expressed regret over the tragic death of a significant woman in an ABC interview. “Apart from the illness, the worst thing was how she was treated by those who tricked her,” he said.

Lina Morgan was reported to be worth over one billion euros when she sold the Teatro La Latina more than three decades later due to financial issues. The actress maintained a flat in Madrid’s Niño Jesús neighborhood near El Retiro park, with a large collection of fur coats, fine watches, and jewelry.

In her later years, the actress’s financial account declined. “In 2004 there was a billion and in 2006 there was not even half,” Pontes told Vanitatis in 2020. The former driver rejects Lina Morgan’s 10 million euro inheritance: He told Pronto magazine, “That is false, I wish it were true,” adding that the Treasury is demanding “double” of what he inherited, therefore he has not yet collected.

“Including the flat, he left two million euros. His illness cost a much. In an interview with Vanitatis, she described the property as a hospital with three doctors, two oxygen bottles, and nurses, charging between 700 and 1,000 euros per day. She continued, “I knew it was in his will and, if he wanted something, he wouldn’t have spent so much money, which was a lot. He would have gone to a nursing home only. There are receipts for all those expenses, so I’m informing individuals who criticized me this.”

Interestingly, Lina Morgan’s will, revised six times before her death, left nothing to her two great-nieces, Estefanía and Olga. The actress had a tight bond with them as children, but they fell into addiction and the artist cut them out of her life and work.

In Pronto, journalist Joana Morillas claimed, “When they were little, they went to the theatre with their mother to see Lina and the actress wanted to adopt them, but the mother refused.” Her account reveals that Estefanía and Olga’s mother was involved in drugs, and her daughters started using them as children. Both became prostitutes, got pregnant numerous times, and social services took their children.”

“Olga went to the theater to talk to her great-aunt but was turned away. The actress overlooked an unsavory family member who solely sought money, Morillas said.

ABC quoted the comedian’s former manager: “She forbade me from letting them into the theater. She said they wanted to use her name and she didn’t feel sorry for them. The Lina’s grandnieces caused me some uncomfortable scenes “.

Despite controversy, Lina Morgan’s art lives on. The star of plays like El último callejero, Sí al amor, and Vaya par de gemelos embodied a unique personality and sense of duty, leaving her a legend in Spanish theater even nine years after her death.
