The actress Gemma Cuervo has passed away at 91 years old in Madrid, as confirmed by her family. The actress leaves behind a long career in theater, cinema, and television that made her one of the most beloved faces by the Spanish public, especially for her role as Vicenta in the popular series 'Aquí no hay quien viva'.
