In 2019, she was awarded the National Cinematography Prize, which recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the development of Spanish cinema.
Despite her success, Forqué remains humble and dedicated to her craft. She continues to challenge herself with each new role, always striving to push the boundaries of what is expected of her as an actress.
