no one would say that Monica Randall is going to be 80 years old. Neither his body nor his mind attest to it. The actress, retired since 2009, “tired of always being offered bad roles”, she says, she finds in travel the best way to enjoy life. “I’m fine, although I have some back pain. Recently, I went on a trip to Egypt, because I love archeology. I was there for 15 days, but the pain was very strong and I had to return. I have to take better care of myself,” she says.
PRONTO: But if you look great…
MÓNICA RANDALL: Thank you very much, but this low back pain… The truth is, I don’t look my age at all. Although there is no need to talk about these things. They make me feel older.
Q.: How is your day to day?
M. R.: Very calm. I travel as much as I can, and I take the opportunity to make cultural visits. I go to Turkey a lot, which is a country that I love. I do it with a group that, like me, is very interested in archaeological remains. Since I don’t have to support anyone, since I’m not a mother or a grandmother, I spend the savings on travel. As long as I can move and I’m okay, I’ll continue touring the world.

Q.: Is your loneliness, on a sentimental level, loved and assumed?
M. R.: Yes. I think that if you don’t fall in love at a certain age, then no one will catch you. I have always been very lonely, although I have had my partners. But from a certain moment, you become a very self-sufficient woman. Nobody “fishes” me and my divorced friends anymore. We do what we want and we don’t have to give explanations. My loneliness is dear, and I am divinely.

“I would have liked to have grandchildren”
Q.: So, you don’t miss a company?
M. R.: Just punctually. For example, when I go to Venice, which is a very romantic city. But I, in general, prefer to be free and do what I want.
Q.: Would you have liked to be a mother, even if it had been without a partner by your side?
M. R.: I have not had a maternal vocation. Curiously, I would have liked very much to have grandchildren, because I feel a great vocation as a grandmother. Whenever I see a baby, I run after him. I’ll confess something to you: on one occasion I was tempted to be a mother, when she was married to a man I loved very much.

Q.: Who has been the man of your life?
M. R.: I haven’t had it. Perhaps, if there had been a mix between two or three of the couples I’ve been with, the perfect man would have come out. But I will not reveal their names.
Q.: Were you so independent and with so much character that you scared the gentlemen?
M. R.: I am absolutely sure of it. And, in addition, in the cinema she always played bad roles. There was no human way that they would offer me a character of a good person, and I did not understand why. So I left the profession.
