Michelle Salas’ great-grandparents are Silvia Pinal and Rafael Banquells from her mother’s side, and Matilde Sanchez Repiso and Rafael Gallego Rey from her father’s lineage. They are well-known figures in the Latina entertainment scene. <\/strong><\/p>\n In the past, Michelle Salas called out her father, Luis Miguel, for abandoning her when she was still a child while paying tribute to her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother for giving her the best upbringing. That interview inevitably led to an almost insatiable desire for fans to know more about the Mexican model’s great-grandparents. Let’s meet them.<\/p>\n The most prominent name amongst Michelle Salas’s great-grandparents is her maternal great-grandmother, the iconic and legendary Silvia Pinal, who is a well-respected Mexican actress, businesswoman, television, theatre, and film producer.<\/p>\n Born Silvia Veronica Pinal Hidalgo, on September 12, 1930, in Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico, Silvia Pinal pioneered musical theater in Mexico and was also very active in government administration while holding down some political appointments.<\/p>\n Still, on her mother’s side of the family, Michelle <\/a>Salas’ great-grandfather was also in the entertainment business. He was an actor of Mexican origin named Rafael Banquells. Born Rafael Banquells Garafulla on June 25, 1917, in La Habana, Cuba, Rafael’s parents were actors based in Spain, and when he was old enough, he slotted seamlessly into what was a family tradition and went on to succeed as an actor, producer, and director.<\/p>\n Silvia Pinal, Michelle Salas’ great-grandmother, was one of three women he was married to while on earth. She was his second wife, and they had a daughter who became known as Sylvia Pasqualle. Michelle Salas’ great-grandfather died on October 27, 1990, at the age of 73, in Mexico City.<\/p>\n It has become clear that Michelle Salas comes from a long line of entertainers. Her paternal great-grandmother, Matilde Sanchez Repiso, was also a Mexican singer and dancer. She was married to Rafael Gallego Rey, and they had a son named Luisito Rey. She was reportedly born on June 8, 1916, in Cadiz, Andalusia, Spain, and died in 1994 in the same location as her birth.<\/p>\n Rafael Gallego Rey, Michelle Salas’ great-grandfather, was a popular Flamenco singer of Spanish origins. He was married to Matilde Sanchez Repiso until his death. The dates of his birth and death are currently unknown.<\/p>\n Michelle Salas’ parents are practically Mexican music royalty as they were both born in 1970 and share the same birth year. That’s not all they share. Despite never being married to each other, they share the responsibility of being parents to Michelle Salas.<\/p>\n Michelle’s father is a popular Mexico-based singer known as Luis Miguel<\/a>. His popularity in Mexico reached such heights that he was primarily known as El Sol de M\u00e9xico (The Sun of Mexico). Records show that he was actually born on April 18, 1970, but celebrates his birthday on the 19th because that was when his father filed the papers.<\/p>\nSilvia Pinal,\u00a0<\/strong>Michelle Salas’ Maternal Great-grandmother, <\/strong>Was A Pioneer<\/strong><\/h2>\n
