Begoña Palacios, a stunning young actress and dancer, tied the knot with the renowned film director Sam Peckinpah in the midst of his work on the 1965 cinematic masterpiece, Major Dundee, in Mexico. This union marked the beginning of a new chapter in Peckinpah's life, as he embarked on a fresh chapter in his personal and professional journey.
As Peckinpah's second wife, Begoña brought forth a beautiful daughter, Maria Guadalupe Peckinpah Palacios, affectionately known as Lupita Peckinpah. The family of three shared a special bond, with Begoña serving as a loving mother to Lupita.
Tragedy struck on March 1st, 2000, when Begoña's life came to a premature end. In a poignant gesture, she requested that her ashes be scattered on the iconic Malibu beach, a site that held significant meaning and connection to her late husband, Sam Peckinpah.
