Biography

In the 1960s she entered the cinema with the emergence of the nouvelle vague where she worked with the main Argentine directors of police noir cinema such as Sixto Pondal Ríos and Enrique Carreras, who directed her in the films Los viciosos (1962) and Los hipócritas (1965). ). In 1965 she worked with Lucas Demare in Los guerrilleros and she made her first collaboration with one of the most recognized Argentine exponents of science fiction and cult cinema, Emilio Vieyra, in the film Extraña invasión. Vieyra made her her fetish actress, largely because of her physical beauty. With Vieyra, he made a series of films, among which are The Curious Dr. Humpp (1966), La bestia desnuda (produced in 1967 and released in 1969) and Feast of Flesh (1967), followed later by Blood of the Virgins (1968 ). These films, with the passage of time, were turned into a cult series by fans of these genres.
