Vedette Tania Doris, one of the queens of Barcelona's Paral·lel, died on Wednesday in Barcelona aged 74. Born Dolores Cano in València in 1952, she was a star at the Teatro Apolo for decades.
Doris began her career in the early 1970s after being discovered by impresario Matías Colsada. She maintained a relationship with him for over twenty years and starred in numerous revues such as '¡Esta noche...sí', 'La Dulce Viuda' and 'Un reino para Tania'.
The artist, who stood almost 1.80 metres tall, retired from show business more than a quarter of a century ago. In 2006 she won a lawsuit over Colsada's inheritance after he died in 2000 without a will.
The wake will be held tomorrow Thursday at the Tanatorio de Les Corts and the farewell ceremony will take place on Friday at 9:00 a.m. Friends including Joan Estrada have remembered her as “the true vedette of the Paral·lel”.
