Biography
Biography
Lidia Falcón O'Neill was born on 13 December 1935 in Madrid, the daughter of Peruvian César Falcón and Spaniard Enriqueta O'Neill (a.k.a. Regina Flavio), both writers and journalists, among other professions. Her parents had met and had an affair when her mother worked in Falcon's theater. Falcon remained married to his wife Irene Falcón, so Enriqueta O'Neill raised Lidia alone. Both her maternal grandmother Regina de Lamo (Nora Avante) and her maternal aunt Carlota O'Neill (Laura de Noves) were writers, so it was not considered unusual when Lidia wrote her first play at age 12. During the dictatorship, Enriqueta O'Neill worked as a Francoist censor and would maintain a relationship with the Carlist and provincial press secretary – the highest office of censorship in Barcelona – José Bernabé Oliva. He served as Lidia Falc⁰ón's godfather. Falcón herself was imprisoned for her political demands. Her mother committed suicide on 17 November 1972 in Barcelona.
