Almodóvar often declared how much he adored working with Lampreave, and he showed that love by giving her some of the weirdest, most charming parts in the history of Spanish cinema. In Dark Habits, her first film with Almodóvar, she played Sister Rat of the Sewers, a nun who writes steamy novels. In Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Talk to Her, and Broken Embraces she played a gossipy, interfering apartment-building super, who, as a Jehovah’s Witness, was forbidden to tell lies. In What Have I Done to Deserve This? and The Flower of My Secret, she was a selfish, withholding mother, and in Volver, she played Aunt Paula, a mother figure.
