At 76 years old, Gómez Kemp passed away after a life full of professional and personal successes. His farewell occurred in the European nation where he resided, and it came after having overcome tongue cancer, but just a few days prior, he had suffered a serious domestic fall, according to La Razón.

Born on February 14, 1948, in Havana, she came from a family of artists. Her father, Ramiro Gómez Kemp, and her mother, Velia Martínez, both recognized figures in Cuban entertainment, influenced her early immersion in the artistic world, the mentioned source pointed out.

She also mentioned that the family emigrated to Puerto Rico in 1960, and later lived in Venezuela and Miami, before Mayra decided to settle in Spain in the seventies.

It was in 1976 when her professional life took an unexpected turn with her joining "Un, dos, tres...", initially in specific roles and later as the main host, becoming the visible face of one of the most popular television programs of that time.

In addition to her work on "Un, dos, tres...", Mayra developed a career as a singer, being part of the Trío Acuario and releasing several musical hits. She also hosted other important programs, such as "625 líneas," "Ding-Dong," the 1980 Benidorm Festival, and the children's show "Sabadabada," among many others.
