May 3, 2025

Renowned Cuban actress Coralita Veloz is recovering after undergoing emergency surgery on April 23 due to a fall in the entrance of her home in Miami, where she resides with her family. According to information provided by journalist Mario Vallejo, Coralita began her physical therapy process and, despite the situation, remains in good spirits during her recovery following the surgical intervention on her right shoulder.

Her daughter, María Karla Rivero, detailed that she had initially been given a diagnosis that did not indicate the need for surgery, but later decided to consult with another specialist at Kendall hospital, who determined that surgery was urgent. "You need to have surgery; this is bad, you need an operation because this won't heal on its own or set," the doctor told her, explaining the severity of the fracture that had not fully healed during the previous two weeks.

The procedure was performed under general anesthesia and turned out to be a complete success. Coralita, 75 years old, showed her usual sense of humor during the recovery process, joking by saying: "I'm screwed together," referring to the surgery. Her strength and optimism are reflected in her attitude toward this difficult moment, and she has been receiving numerous messages of support from her followers, both in Cuba and in the United States and other countries.

One of the most touching messages came from the Cubaactores website, who expressed their affection and best wishes for the actress. "We know that, with her strength and the support of her loved ones, she will overcome this moment and will soon be back," the message reads, acknowledging the importance of Coralita in the Cuban cultural scene and her ability to face challenges with courage.

Coralita Veloz is one of the most beloved and emblematic actresses in Cuba, known for her outstanding participation in numerous television and film productions that left their mark on several generations of Cubans. Her talent and charisma on screen have left an indelible mark on Cuban culture, and her followers look forward to seeing her again very soon as she returns from this difficult moment.
