About this episode
“Dedicated with love to Lola and William Bayonas”
Laura Bayonas is a Spanish-born actress, filmmaker, and best-selling author whose creative voice was shaped by the cultural freedom and artistic rebellion of La Movida Madrileña, the post-Franco movement that redefined Spain’s film, music, and art scene.
Her career began remarkably early—she appeared in a TV commercial at age four and, at seven, played her first lead role in the acclaimed short film Correo de guerra (1972), directed by Augusto M. Torres.
Over the decades, she has continued to work across film, theater, and literature, building a body of work rooted in emotionally driven storytelling and character-focused craft. She recently appeared in the FX/Hulu/Disney+ show English Teacher.
In recent years, she directed and produced the Oscar-qualifying short film FAREWELL (completed in 2024) and is currently developing the feature screenplay Upon a Time, a biographical film about her beloved son William Grubb Bayonas, scheduled for 2025–26. Bayonas continues to bridge European cultural history with deeply human, contemporary narratives across multiple creative disciplines.
