María García's childhood (1950) takes place in Totana, a town anchored in traditions and rural life. Since she was little, she suffers abuse from her mother and takes refuge in the figure of her father, who will help her fulfill her dream of becoming an artist. Having just turned eighteen, Maria leaves to Madrid accompanied by her father, seeking to fulfill her dream. Alone in the big city, she contacts the world of Madrid nightlife in the seventies and begins acting in well-known cafés-teatros. Her first youthful loves appear while she earns a living as a go-go artist, a model, and she lands small roles in movies. The big change in her life comes when she decides to leave her original name behind and change it to Bárbara Rey. From here, she gets more important roles in films, she is a victim of workplace harassment, she has a famous romance with Alain Delon and, finally, the great opportunity that she was waiting for as an artist arrives: presenting the 1976 New Year's Eve special.

Series info

Through her own story we will delve into her traumatic childhood, her artistic past, the loves and disappointments of her life, her loneliness, her fears and, finally, we will learn the truth about her clandestine relationship with the King. Carles Rexach, Alain Delon, Paquirri, Juan Carlos I, Ángel Cristo... Many men wanted to possess her, but none knew how to love her. And, beneath that apparent layer of a tough woman hides María García, a sensitive and fragile woman who, on several occasions, has been on the verge of falling into the abyss: mistreated by her mother; harassed at work; raped, beaten and threatened with death by her husband; evicted and ruined; target of the State sewers... Even so, and despite the bad press, she has always managed to get ahead. María García is the survivor of “Una vida Bárbara” and a reference icon with which to review the recent history of Spain.
