Lola Flores was a singer and actress from Jerez de la Frontera. Spain heard her in copla and flamenco, and saw her family on the stage with her. She kept working for decades, in halls and on film. When she died in Madrid in 1995, people came to stand by her, which is how a public life looks when it has also been a family one.
