On November 30, 2024, the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City was filled with memories and tributes for Silvia Pinal, who died on November 28 at age 93.
The ceremony brought together the close family of the golden cinema diva, but there was one notable absence: her son, Luis Enrique Guzmán, the only male child of the late star.
The event, which celebrated Pinal’s life and career, was a sign of the deep affection and respect that the actress generated in her environment and in the public. Although his daughters, Sylvia Pasquel and Alejandra Guzmán, were present, as well as his granddaughters and great-granddaughters, Luis Enrique’s absence caused surprise and speculation among those in attendance.
According to close sources, such as the actress’s personal assistant, Efigenia Ramos, the absence of Silvia Pinal’s son was not due to indifference, but due to a deep emotional state. For him there have been many things, many situations and I believe that everything fell on him. I know that he got upset because of all this, as it all came together for him, so that’s it… poor thing.”Ramos commented in an exclusive interview with Hola! Mexico!. The assistant added that the grieving process had greatly impacted Luis Enrique, who, according to her, was “unwell” due to the accumulation of emotions that his mother’s departure generated in him.
On the other hand, journalist Maxine Woodside spoke with TVyNovelas and shared that he is in a very bad mood: “Yesterday (Friday, November 29) after mass, there was about three minutes of applause. Luis Enrique went to a separate room and we never saw him again. “It’s very sad”Woodside revealed.
Those close to the family, such as the producer Iván Cochegrus, who had a close relationship with Silvia Pinal, accompanying her to her last appearance in the theater, confirmed that Luis Enrique was devastated.
Cochegrus, while explaining that Luis Enrique’s bond with Silvia Pinal was strong, said that they both lived close to each other, which intensified their relationship.
Regarding the absence of Frida Sofía, granddaughter of Silvia Pinal, it was revealed that the influencer, daughter of Alejandra Guzmán, could not attend the event due to logistical complications. Residing in the United States, Frida Sofía did not find flight availability due to the coincidence with Thanksgiving Day, which made it difficult for her to travel to Mexico to say goodbye to her grandmother.
The tribute in Fine Arts, despite the absences, became an emotional tribute to one of the most beloved figures of Mexican culture.
