Because she was such a specific performer (can you imagine a major motion picture actress nowadays with such stipulations as "swims in every picture?") I am interested in her films. She's also very easy on the eyes! Funny that she was paired with Ricardo Montalban oncreen - while offscreen it was that other famed Latin Love of the Screen who caught her fancy - Fernando Lamas!

She was a favorite at the movies when I was a girl. It's nice to be reminded.Tina B.
