The screenwriter of screenwriters worked with the best Italian and Spanish directors, such as Luis García Berlanga, Marco Ferreri, Carlos Saura, Fernando Trueba, José Luis García Sánchez or José Luis Cuerda.
Rafael Azcona was a renowned screenwriter who kept a low public profile. He avoided attending award ceremonies, citing a past uncomfortable experience in Italy where he sweated through a jacket while accepting a prize. Azcona did not receive the 1998 Goya Honorary Award in person and his death was not publicly announced until after his cremation. He jokingly referred to being cremated.
