Olivia Bucio suffered a stroke that left her with serious consequences

Olivia Bucio reappeared at an event in Mexico City after almost two years off television and was stunned to reveal that she had suffered a stroke.

The first actress, 68 years old, talked about the stroke she suffered and how she is doing.

Olivia Bucio is recovering from a stroke

On April 30, Olivia Bucio attended the Teatro Insurgentes 70th anniversary celebration in Mexico City and explained what happened with some difficulty speaking.

In an interview with journalist Edén Dorantes, the actress commented that “at the moment she can’t sing” and when asked why, she replied that she “got sick”.

Buccio said he suffered a stroke that left him with significant consequences, including a temporary loss of speech: “I’m just… talking. Because everything, my voice is gone,” he said.

The actress also saw that her mobility was affected after the heart attack and “all” her right arm “doesn’t move”.

An ischemic stroke “occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from receiving oxygen and nutrients,” the Mayo Clinic website explains.

This condition can cause “temporary or permanent disabilities” such as “paralysis or loss of muscle movement” and “difficulty speaking or swallowing.”

Olivia Bucio did not elaborate on when she suffered the stroke or what her recovery was like.

The career of Olivia Bucio

The theater was where the actress took her first steps. In the mid and late 70s, he had success with the productions ‘Sugar’, ‘Un gran finale’ and ‘Can can’. Since then he has added over twenty works to his name.

On this aspect of her career, the interpreter commented in the aforementioned interview:

“I remember ‘Yo y mi chica’, with Mr. Julio Alemán and ‘Peter Pan’ with ‘Loquito’ Valdés (…) Also when I did ‘Año 42’ with Mr. Joaquín Cordero.”

Olivia Bucio has also found success in the soap opera world. Her appearance on the small screen was with “Conflictos de un médico”, in the role of Isabel, after which she has worked non-stop in more than 20 melodramas.

The most recent of these was “Quererlo todo”, in which he gave life to Dalia Coronel de Santos. After this project, he has not been on the recording set again.

All indications are that it will take a little more time to return to any artistic work, because as he commented, he is still in the process of regaining his mobility and speaking after the stroke he suffered.
