Lucía Bosé was 24 when she walked the Cannes red carpet. She had worked with Antonioni, Bardem, and Buñuel. Visconti had discovered her behind the counter of a Milanese pastry shop. Gina Lollobrigida came in third the year she won Miss Italy. Everything pointed to a legendary career.

And then she fell in love.

She married Spain's most famous bullfighter, Luis Miguel Dominguín, and for 12 years she ceased to exist. She couldn't speak Italian in her own home. She couldn't cook her mother's food. She couldn't accept a film role without permission. Picasso baptized her daughter. Visconti baptized her son. And she wasn't allowed to utter a single sentence in her own language.

The most chilling thing: two years before getting married, she played the exact life that awaited her in an Antonioni film. Without knowing it.

In this video, we tell the complete story of Lucía Bosé, the actress who had it all, lost it all, and started over at 37 with three children and nothing.
