On March 12, 2008, he died Jorge Guinzburg, after battling a tough illness. The journalist, who had an extensive and extensive professional career, managed to establish himself as one of the most emblematic comedians and radio and television hosts of his time. In addition, he was an important theater producer.
On a personal level, the presenter of “Informal Mornings” had four children Soledad Guinzburg and Malena Guinzburg, fruits of his relationship with Dora Ryng. While Ian Guinzburg and Sacha Guinzburg were born from his marriage to Andrea Stivel, 14 years younger than him, and whom he remarried. Jorge Guinzburg and his wife, daughter of the remembered producer and director David Stivel, met in 1986, in the hallways of ATC, when he was making “The Rebel News” and she was making “Mesa de Noticias.” The crush was immediate and in 1987 they had already moved in together. At the end of that year they became Sacha’s father. In 1989 Ian came into their lives.
Andrea was the producer of several of the greatest television hits he had Jorge Guinzburg in his carrer. Both “Informal Mornings” and “The Bible and the Calefón” featured the couple’s work together. After the comedian’s death, Stivel decided to move away from the media and take refuge in other projects, which, although they continue to be linked to the art world, do not have the same public exposure. The journalist’s wife assumed the artistic direction of the Astros Theater: “I want to recover a theater that I saw as a girl in what my old man did with the clan”, he said in an interview he gave some time ago. When asked about the step aside that she took on television, she assured: “The stress of live television is very strong. I feel like I’m big, I commit a lot and put a lot of effort into it, and here we work in a different way. Theater in some way is a game on stage, and in this matter of programming and fantasizing, I try to make it a game on stage as well.”
The memory of Jorge Guinzburg by Andrea Stivel
Years ago, Andrea Stivel gave an interview in commemoration of a new anniversary for the departure of Jorge Guinzburg and he remembered it in the best way: “What I remember most, what I have most good about him, has to do with the great love we had for each other, with the family we built with two children. It’s like in a selfish way, getting away from what has to do with the professional side. I remember how much fun we had, how loved I felt, how much I loved him. Well… I still love him at one point. But everything changes.”
The producer confessed: “In these years, our two sons experienced a lack not only as a father, but also as a guide. It would have been good to have a male, family figure.”
