(FILMAFFINITY) - Sara Montiel (also Sarita Montiel or Saritísima) (born March 10, 1928) is a Spanish singer, and actress. She is still a much-loved and internationally known name in the Spanish-speaking movie and music industries. Montiel was born in Campo de Criptana in the region of Castile–La Mancha in 1928 as María Antonia Abad (complete name María Antonia Alejandra Vicenta Elpidia Isidora Abad Fernández). After her unprecedented international hit in Juan de Orduña's El Último Cuplé in 1957, Montiel achieved the status of mega-star in Europe and Latin America. She was the first woman to distill sex openly in Spanish cinema at a time when even a low cut dress was not acceptable. Montiel was the most commercially successful Spanish actress during the mid twentieth century in much of the world. Miss Montiel's film Varietes was banned in Beijing in 1973. Her films El Último Cuple and La Violetera netted the highest gross revenues ever recorded for films made in the Spanish speaking movie industry during the 50s and 60s. She also played the role of Antonia, the niece of Don Quixote, in the 1947 Spanish film version of Cervantes's great novel. She was recently portrayed in the Pedro Almodóvar film Bad Education by a male actor in drag (Gael García Bernal) as the transsexual character Zahara, and a film clip from one of her movies was used as well. Acting career Montiel started in movies at 16 in her native Spain where she filmed her first international success playing an Islamic princess in the 1948 film Locura de Amor, released in the US as The Mad Queen. Later she conquered Mexico, starring in a dozen films in less than five years. Hollywood came calling afterwards, and she was introduced to United States moviegoers in the film Vera Cruz (1954) co-starring with Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster, and directed by Robert Aldrich. She was offered the standard seven-year contract at Columbia Pictures, which she quickly refused, afraid of Hollywood's typecasting policies for Hispanics. Instead she free-lanced at Warner Bros. with Mario Lanza and Joan Fontaine in Serenade (1956), directed by Anthony Mann, and at RKO in Samuel Fuller's Run of the Arrow (1957), opposite Rod Steiger and Charles Bronson. The unexpected success of El Ultimo Cuple (1957) turned her into an overnight sensation both as an actor and a singer. From then on she combined filming highly successful vehicles, recording songs in five languages and performing live all over the world. Among the films that kept her immensely popular during the 1960s and early 1970s were La Violetera (1958), Carmen, la de Ronda (1959), Mi Ultimo Tango (1960), Pecado de Amor (1961), La Bella Lola (a 1962 version of Camille), Casablanca, Nid d'espions(1963), Samba (1964), La Femme Perdue (1966), Tuset Street (1967), Esa Mujer (1969), Varietes (1971) and others. By then she had become a legend to her millions of fans but became dissatisfied with the movie industry when producers started offering her roles in soft core porno films. In 1974 Montiel announced her retirement from movies but continued performing live, recording and starring on her own variety television shows in Spain. Currently she remains one of the highest paid celebrities in Spain's TV talk and reality shows. In November 2009, Alaska from the pop group Fangoria invited Montiel to record a track sharing vocals with her for the re-release of the band's album Absolutamente. They recorded the title track "Absolutamente" as a duet and when the single was released it became an instant Top 10 hit. The music video for the song was also highly successful when released in early 2010.[1] Sara has no retirement plans and in May 2011, after almost 40 years without making a movie, she accepted to appear in a feature film directed by Óscar Parra de Carrizosa. The film title is Abrázame and it was shot on location in Montiel's birth place in La Mancha. According to the star, in this film she dares to do "a parody of her old screen image, just for fun." Personal information Montiel was born Maria Antonia Alejandra Abad Fernández on March 10, 1928 in Campo de Criptana in the province of Ciudad Real, Spain. She entered films after winning a beauty and talent contest at age 15. In her first movie she was credited as "Maria Alejandra" a shortened version of her real name. For her next film she changed her name to Sara, after her grandmother, and Montiel after the Montiel fields in the Castile–La Mancha region of her birth. She has been married four times: Anthony Mann (American, Actor & Film Director) In Beverly Hills, California 1957-1963 (divorced) José Vicente Ramírez-Olaya (Industrial Attorney) Rome, Italy 1964-1978 (annulled) José Tous-Barberán (Attorney-Journalist) Palma de Mallorca, Spain 1979-1992 (Tous's death) This marriage produced two adopted children: Thais (born 1979) Zeus (born 1982) Antonio Hernández (Cuban Videotape Operator) Madrid, Spain 2002-2005 (divorced) During the Francisco Franco dictatorship Spanish stars were forbidden to behave in any way that could be perceived at odds with Christian principles and morality, consequently they kept their private lives very private. Montiel was no exception. Pre-marital or out of wedlock relationships were never mentioned and her civil marriage to Anthony Mann was underplayed along with the divorce. Her 1964 Catholic wedding in Rome was granted great publicity but no one was informed that the marriage only lasted a couple of months. By 1965 the couple had separated and Montiel had started a very secret love affair with Italian actor Giancarlo del Duca (aka Giancarlo Viola) It was all kept under wraps since divorce was illegal in both Italy and Spain. In 1970 Sara broke up with Giancarlo and started a long-term relationship with José Tous. By the mid '70s censorship in Spain was abolished and the truth began coming out. Montiel requested an annulment of her second marriage and the Catholic Church granted it in 1978. The following year she married Tous in a civil ceremony and the marriage lasted until his death of cancer in 1992. By 1993 Sara was involved again with Giancarlo Viola. In 2002 the couple parted, and Montiel married a much younger man who resided in Cuba, a union that was doomed from the start and ended in divorce in 2004. Soon after, Viola was back in Montiel's life, and they seem committed to each other in spite of the fact that Montiel lives in Madrid and her partner remains in Italy. In 2000 Montiel published her autobiography "Memories: To Live Is A Pleasure", an instant best seller with ten editions to date. A sequel "Sara and Sex" followed in 2003. In these books Montiel revealed other relationships in her past including one-night stands with writer Ernest Hemingway as well as actor James Dean. She also claimed a long term affair in the 1940s with playwright Miguel Mihura and mentioned that science wizard Severo Ochoa, a Nobel Prize winner, was the true love of her life.

Her parents were Isidoro Abad, a peasant, and Maria Vicenta Fernández, a door-to-door beautician. The future star was christened Maria Antonia Alejandra Abad Fernández. Barely in her teens, she won a beauty and talent contest held by Cifesa, the most influential Spanish film studio of that era. As a reward she was signed to a movie contract and in 1944 made her debut playing a teenager in Te quiero para mí (1944), credited in the cast as "Maria Alejandra". By the end of 1944 she was given the starring role in Empezó en boda (1944), which introduced her more adult image and a new name: Sara Montiel. In the next four years she appeared in 14 films, including her first international success Locura de amor (1950), which led to a long term-contract in Mexico. She quickly established herself as one of the most popular film actors of the decade. starring in 14 films between 1950 and 1954. Hollywood came calling and she was formally introduced to American moviegoers in Vera Cruz (1954), playing Gary Cooper's love interest. Later she filmed she worked at Warner Bros. in Serenade (1956) with Mario Lanza, directed by Anthony Mann, who became her first husband. After starring in Samuel Fuller's Run of the Arrow (1957) with Rod Steiger, Sarita shot El último cuplé (1957) ("The Last Song") in Spain, a musical production that turned out to be the biggest box-office success in Spain's film history. It played for over one year in the same theaters in which it opened. A similar reaction followed in Western Europe and Latin America. Sarita Montiel had become the most popular actress-singer of 1957 and a national treasure for Spain. The unprecedented success of "El Último Cuplé" threw a wrench into her Hollywood career, as she was offered a multimillion-dollar contract to star in four films in Europe. Her next vehicle, La violetera (1958) ("The Violet Peddler"), confirmed Sara's popularity and broke the box-office records set by the previous movie. The theme song from "La Violetera" became Montiel's signature song. The soundtrack albums from both films reportedly outsold Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra in the world market. From then on, Sarita would combine the making of films with the recording of highly successful albums and live concerts in four continents. By 1962 she had become a legend to millions of fans worldwide, reaching markets that had previously been uncharted territory for Spanish cinema. Among her many blockbusters of the 1960s were Mi último tango (1960), Pecado de amor (1961), La bella Lola (1962), La reina del Chantecler (1962) and Esa mujer (1969). However, by the 1970s her interest in films diminished, due largely to the almost pornographic turn of Spanish films in the post-Francisco Franco era when censorship was abolished. Her activities turned mainly to recording and stage work, and she achieved uncontested successes with her stage shows "Sara en Persona" (1970-73), "Saritísima" (1974-75), "Increible Sara" (1977-78), "Super Sara Show"(1979-80), "Doña Sara de La Mancha" (1981-82), "Taxi Vamos Al Victoria" (1983-84), "Nostalgia" (1985-86), "Sara, Siempre Sara" (1987-88) and others. In the 1990s Sara surprised everyone by branching out into television: "Sara y Punto" (1990), a mini-series of seven one-hour episodes, included a serialized biography of the star, many popular guests (including Luciano Pavarotti and Charles Aznavour, among others) and Miss Montiel singing her greatest hits in addition to new songs written especially for her. Next came "Ven al Paralelo" (1992), taped in a Barcelona theater where Montiel hosted,sang and acted in comedy sketches in front of a live audience. It is quite impossible to cover here all the awards Sara Montiel has won in her long successful career but we must mention the "Premio del Sindicato" (at that time Spain's equivalent of the Oscar) for best actress, won two years in a row for her performances in "El Último Cuplé" and "La Violetera". In 1972 she was proclaimed an honorary citizen of Los Angeles by Mayor Sam Yorty and was given the gold key to the city. Similarly she has been awarded the gold keys of New York, Miami and Chicago. In 1981 she received Israel's most prestigious honor, the Ben Guiron Award and in 1983 she was awarded France's Legion of Honor medal, after a retrospective of her career ran at the Autumn Film Festival in Paris. In 1986 "Nosotros", a Hollywood-based Hispanic actors advocacy organization founded by Ricardo Montalban, gave her its Golden Eagle Award for life achievement. The trophy was presented to Sarita by her "Vera Cruz" costar-producer Burt Lancaster in an emotional reunion that triggered a standing ovation from all their Hollywood peers witnessing the event. In 1997 she was awarded the "Gold Medal", also a life achievement recognition, given--rarely0--by Spain's Academy of Arts and Sciences. The two-hour ceremony was beamed live by national television. In 2008 Sara returned to her hometown to unveil a sculpture with her image at the new Sara Montiel Park. A nearby avenue was also named after her and there was at the same time a dedication ceremony of her newly renovated museum, located inside a 16th-century windmill. In addition, the government placed a commemorative plaque on the house where she was born. Sara Montiel's private life has also been a large part of her legend. After divorcing Anthony Mann in 1963, she married three more times (Vicente Ramirez Olalla 1964-1978; Jose Tous 1979-1992; Antonio Hernandez 2002-2004). Before, during and after these marriages she had countless affairs, among them Nobel prize-winning scientist Severo Ochoa and Italian actor Giancarlo Del Duca. Unable to have children, she adopted two during her marriage to Jose Tous: Thais (born in 1979) and Zeus (born 1983). In 2000 she published her autobiography, which became a best seller. In recent years she has slowed down her professional activities but continues singing occasionally on TV and stage. ***** Sara Montiel started in movies at 16 in her native Spain where she filmed her first international success playing an Islamic princess in the 1948 film Locura de Amor. Later she conquered Mexico, starring in a dozen films in less than five years. Hollywood came calling afterwards, and she was introduced to US moviegoers in the film Vera Cruz (1954) co-starring with Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster, and directed by Robert Aldrich. She was offered the standard seven-year contract at Columbia Pictures, which she quickly refused, afraid of Hollywood's typecasting policies for Hispanics. Instead she free-lanced at Warner Bros. with Mario Lanza and Joan Fontaine in Serenade (1956), directed by Anthony Mann, and at RKO in Samuel Fuller's Run of the Arrow (1957), opposite Rod Steiger and Charles Bronson. That same year she married Anthony Mann but returned briefly to Spain to star in a low budget film musical El Ultimo Cuplé as a favor to producer-director Juan de Orduña who had helped her career in the early days. This film made her unexpectedly the number one actress-singer of that year in Europe and Latin America and she accepted a multi-million dollar offer for more films and recordings in Europe. It was obvious that Hollywood could not offer anything better, so she moved back to Spain and to a career that is now legendary. Fifteen monumentally successful films followed her Cuplé success (including La Violetera (1958), Carmen, la de Ronda (1959, a very personal rendition of the Carmen myth), Mi Ultimo Tango (1960), Pecado de Amor(1961), La Bella Lola (1962, her own version of "Camille"), La Reina del Chantecler (a 1963 blockbuster specially in the Soviet Union and countries behind the Iron Curtain), Noches de Casablanca, (a 1963 tribute to Hollywood's Casablanca), Samba (1964), La Dama de Beirut (1965), La Mujer Perdida (1966), Tuset Street (1967), Esa Mujer (1969), Varietés (1971), etc. During these years she also recorded over 30 highly successful albums and appeared on stage and television all over the world. In 1974 Montiel announced her retirement from movies but continued performing live, recording and starring on her own variety television shows in Spain. She kept on at that pace well into the 1990s. In 2000 her autobiography Memories: To Live Is A Pleasure became a huge best seller, followed by a second part Sara and Sex, which highlighted her love life. In 2006 Montiel temporarily put aside her career in order to help her adopted son Zeus with his first recordings. ***** internationally known name in the Spanish speaking movie and music industries. She was born in Campo de Criptana in the region of Castilla-La Mancha in 1928. After her unprecedented international hit in Juan de Orduña's "El Último Cuplé" in 1957, Miss Montiel achieved the status of mega-star in Europe and Latin America. She was the first woman to distill "sex" openly in Spanish cinema at a time when even a low cut dress was not acceptable. With the passage of time the title of "legend" has been awarded to her mythological cache. In legend she seems to thrive; growing stronger and even more famous. She is very much admired internationally today. Miss Montiel is 78 years young. She was recently portrayed in the Pedro Almodóvar film Bad Education by Gael García Bernal as the character Zahara and a film clip from one of her movies was used as well. Mr. Almodovar is a comfirmed fan of the grandest star of his generation as he has confessed many times to the press. Sara Montiel was the most commercially successful Spanish actress during the mid Twentieth century in much of the world. Including Russia, Romania and most of the old communist countries. And yes, China too. Miss Montiel's film "Varietes" was banned in Peking in 1973. Needless to say no one ever surpassed Montiel's box office power in Latin America or Spain....Not even the biggest Hollywood names. Her films "El Último Cuple" and "La Violetera" netted the highest gross revenues ever recorded for films made in the Spanish speaking movie industry during the 50s and 60s. No other Spanish speaking actress has achieved the iconic reputation of this woman so very popular around the world. "A Visit with Sara Montiel" shows just how culturally important this figure was and remains even today in the world of classic cinema. No other movie star in the Spanish world has enjoyed the adulation and love bestowed upom this legend born in La Mancha, land of Don Quixote. Filmography: Sara has had a career in films of monumental proportions. She started in the movies at 16 in her native Spain and later conquered Hollywood filming with Gary Cooper the classic "Vera Cruz" in 1954. "Sarita" has she became known in the United States went on to film with Rod Steiger, Joan Fontaine, Mario Lanza and Burt Lancaster. In 1957 she returned to Spain to film a movie as a favor to famed new wave director: Juan de Orduna. This film made her unexpectedly the number one actress of that year in Europe and Latin America. Declining after that to return to Hollywood to perhaps be typed cast in ethnic roles, Miss Montiel remained in Europe enjoying her superstar status and forging a career of record breaking box office relevance. Fifteen monumentally successful films followed her "Cuple" success (including "La Violetera"[link], "La Bella Lola"[link]and"Pecado de Amor"[link]made exclusively to serve her international image in Europe and around the world). In 1973 already enjoying a famed unparalleled by almost any other Spanish speaking star; Sara Montiel retired from the movies to exploit her image as screen goddess gone into exile with live performances. Concerts made Miss Montiel in the seventies and eighties one of the top performers on the world stage leaving no doubt that her fame was well deserved. Movie stars like this are extinct and they simply will not come again. People sense this and so they run to see this celluloid jewel in the flesh. Sara Montiel has proven, with a career that expands five decades that she was indeed what "Life" magazine called her in 1961:"One of the world's greatest entertainers". With endurance like few ever possess.

In the next four years she appeared in 14 films, including her first international success Locura de amor (1950), which led to a long term-contract in Mexico. She quickly established herself as one of the most popular film actors of the decade. starring in 14 films between 1950 and 1954. Hollywood came calling and she was formally introduced to American moviegoers in Vera Cruz (1954), playing Gary Cooper's love interest. Later she filmed she worked at Warner Bros. in Serenade (1956) with Mario Lanza, directed by Anthony Mann, who became her first husband. After starring in Samuel Fuller's Run of the Arrow (1957) with Rod Steiger, Sarita shot El último cuplé (1957) ("The Last Song") in Spain, a musical production that turned out to be the biggest box-office success in Spain's film history. It played for over one year in the same theaters in which it opened. A similar reaction followed in Western Europe and Latin America. Sarita Montiel had become the most popular actress-singer of 1957 and a national treasure for Spain. The unprecedented success of "El Último Cuplé" threw a wrench into her Hollywood career, as she was offered a multimillion-dollar contract to star in four films in Europe. Her next vehicle, La violetera (1958) ("The Violet Peddler"), confirmed Sara's popularity and broke the box-office records set by the previous movie. The theme song from "La Violetera" became Montiel's signature song. The soundtrack albums from both films reportedly outsold Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra in the world market. From then on, Sarita would combine the making of films with the recording of highly successful albums and live concerts in four continents. By 1962 she had become a legend to millions of fans worldwide, reaching markets that had previously been uncharted territory for Spanish cinema. Among her many blockbusters of the 1960s were Mi último tango (1960), Pecado de amor (1961), La bella Lola (1962), La reina del Chantecler (1962) and Esa mujer (1969). However, by the 1970s her interest in films diminished, due largely to the almost pornographic turn of Spanish films in the post-Francisco Franco era when censorship was abolished. Her activities turned mainly to recording and stage work, and she achieved uncontested successes with her stage shows "Sara en Persona" (1970-73), "Saritísima" (1974-75), "Increible Sara" (1977-78), "Super Sara Show"(1979-80), "Doña Sara de La Mancha" (1981-82), "Taxi Vamos Al Victoria" (1983-84), "Nostalgia" (1985-86), "Sara, Siempre Sara" (1987-88) and others. In the 1990s Sara surprised everyone by branching out into television: "Sara y Punto" (1990), a mini-series of seven one-hour episodes, included a serialized biography of the star, many popular guests (including Luciano Pavarotti and Charles Aznavour, among others) and Miss Montiel singing her greatest hits in addition to new songs written especially for her. Next came "Ven al Paralelo" (1992), taped in a Barcelona theater where Montiel hosted,sang and acted in comedy sketches in front of a live audience. It is quite impossible to cover here all the awards Sara Montiel has won in her long successful career but we must mention the "Premio del Sindicato" (at that time Spain's equivalent of the Oscar) for best actress, won two years in a row for her performances in "El Último Cuplé" and "La Violetera". In 1972 she was proclaimed an honorary citizen of Los Angeles by Mayor Sam Yorty and was given the gold key to the city. Similarly she has been awarded the gold keys of New York, Miami and Chicago. In 1981 she received Israel's most prestigious honor, the Ben Guiron Award and in 1983 she was awarded France's Legion of Honor medal, after a retrospective of her career ran at the Autumn Film Festival in Paris. In 1986 "Nosotros", a Hollywood-based Hispanic actors advocacy organization founded by Ricardo Montalban, gave her its Golden Eagle Award for life achievement. The trophy was presented to Sarita by her "Vera Cruz" costar-producer Burt Lancaster in an emotional reunion that triggered a standing ovation from all their Hollywood peers witnessing the event. In 1997 she was awarded the "Gold Medal", also a life achievement recognition, given--rarely0--by Spain's Academy of Arts and Sciences. The two-hour ceremony was beamed live by national television. In 2008 Sara returned to her hometown to unveil a sculpture with her image at the new Sara Montiel Park. A nearby avenue was also named after her and there was at the same time a dedication ceremony of her newly renovated museum, located inside a 16th-century windmill. In addition, the government placed a commemorative plaque on the house where she was born. Sara Montiel's private life has also been a large part of her legend. After divorcing Anthony Mann in 1963, she married three more times (Vicente Ramirez Olalla 1964-1978; Jose Tous 1979-1992; Antonio Hernandez 2002-2004). Before, during and after these marriages she had countless affairs, among them Nobel prize-winning scientist Severo Ochoa and Italian actor Giancarlo Del Duca. Unable to have children, she adopted two during her marriage to Jose Tous: Thais (born in 1979) and Zeus (born 1983). In 2000 she published her autobiography, which became a best seller. In recent years she has slowed down her professional activities but continues singing occasionally on TV and stage. On New Year's Eve 1899, Soledad is peddling violets in a Madrid busy street when she meets aristocrat Fernando. The couple falls in love but their different social backgrounds threatens the relationship. Fernando is under constant pressure from his older brother Alfonso who reminds him of his duties including his engagement to Magdalena, a countess. Disregarding all social conventions and scandalizing high society, Fernando sets up Soledad in a plush apartment and announces their marriage plans. Alfonso gets killed in a duel trying to save the family honor. Fernando, feeling devastated and guilty by his brother's death, decides to put an end to the affair. Heartbroken, Soledad runs away and ends up singing for a living at Salon Bolero . There she meets Henri, a French promoter who offers to make her a singing star. Meanwhile, Fernando realizes that he cannot live without Soledad and tries to find her but, by then, she has gone to Paris. Soledad conquers France and becomes a stage superstar touring Europe in triumph always with Henri at her side. He is now in love with her but Soledad has never been able to forget Fernando. In the meantime Fernando has married Magdalena and taken a post as ambassador in South America but Soledad is always in his heart. On their way to New York aboard the Titanic, Soledad and Henri become victims of the transatlantic tragedy. Henri drowns and Soledad loses her voice due to shock. Her career over, she returns to Spain alone, depressed and penniless. Time passes. It's New Year's Eve and Soledad tries to make a modest come back at Salon Bolero. Fernando, now a widower, walks in the joint. She sings, their eyes meet and they finally embrace as a new year is proclaimed. Spanish screen legend Sara Montiel stars in both of these films, two of her most popular, dating from 1957 (El Ultimo Cuple) and 1958 (La Violetera). Both are musicals, with melodramatic, highly sentimental stories that either take place or begin at the turn of the 20th century. But the plots are not the main thing here, they just offer a welcome excuse to see and hear Sara sing some great "cuples", a saucy, dance hall-type of song that was popular in Spain ages ago; some are uptempo, others are ballads - in both cases, Sara always goes to the heart of the song and delivers moving, heartfelt performances. Her beauty is legendary as well, and the screen literally glows with her stunning presence. The films appear unrestored and full screen on this DVD (no English subtitles are provided), but the video is clear and has good detail, and the films are reasonably splice-free, although signs of wear and blemishes are quite obvious, and the colors are substantially faded as well. But the rarity of these titles and the terrific price of this disc make it a must for fans of Sara and her music. Indulge, and take a magic, nostalgic trip to a wonderful, gentler era. Sara Montiel Biography: Legendary Spanish Movie and Recording Star Dead at 85."] Next in line for the sultry, husky-voice actress was another tear-jerking blockbuster: Luis César Amadori's La Violetera ("The Violet Peddler," 1958), for which Montiel reportedly (if somewhat dubiously) earned US$1 million. In this romantic musical melodrama, Montiel plays Soledad Moreno, a flower seller in turn-of-the-century Madrid who falls in love with an aristocrat (Raf Vallone). Inevitably, class issues arise. The heartbroken Soledad flees Spain for France, where she becomes (once again) a singing sensation. Tears, tantrums, the sinking of the Titanic, psychological trauma, and eternal love ensue. (Photo: The sensual Sara Montiel strikes a Gina Lollobrigida-like pose.)“La violetera was even bigger than El último cuplé,” Montiel affirmed. “That's when I became fully aware that I was born to become a movie star.” And a recording star as well, as "La Violetera" was a major seller worldwide, eventually becoming her trademark song.Among Sara Montiel's other personal successes of the late '50s and '60s were Tulio Demicheli's Carmen la de Ronda / A Girl Against Napoleon (1959), based on Prosper Mérimée's novel and co-starring Jorge Mistral and Maurice Ronet; Mi último tango ("My Last Tango," 1960), about a maid who inadvertently becomes a tango-singing sensation in Argentina, also co-starring Ronet and directed by La Violetera's Luis César Amadori; and Amadori's Pecado de amor ("Sin of Love," 1961), as a former singing star (Magda Beltrán) who becomes a nun (Sister Belén) to atone for her past sins.Sara Montiel hands El Cid to Sophia LorenSara Montiel claimed to have turned down the female lead role in husband Anthony Mann's Spanish-set historical epic El Cid (1961), starring Charlton Heston, recommending the Italian Sophia Loren in her place. El Cid turned out to be a major international hit.Instead of El Cid, Montiel, whose marriage to Mann would end in divorce in 1963, was seen in Alfonso Balcázar's La bella Lola (1962), a version of Camille co-starring Antonio Cifariello and Franck Villard (in place of Montiel's original choice, Roger Moore); Rafael Gil's World War I-set espionage melodrama La reina del Chantecler ("The Queen of the Chantecler," 1962), in which Montiel falls for no-good journalist and spy Alberto de Mendoza (among whose spying buddies is Greta Chi's Mata Hari); and Henri Decoin's Casablanca, Nest of Spies / Noches de Casablanca (1963), featuring another set of spies, Maurice Ronet, and Fabio Fabrizi. (This film's French-language title inspired the title, though not necessarily the plot, of the Michel Hazanavicius / Jean Dujardin spoof OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies.)In Rafael Gil's Samba (1965), Sara Montiel plays no less than two (Spanish-speaking) Brazilians: an actress who gets bumped off by her lover and her dead-ringer slum dweller, who, during the course of the film, finds love, intrigue, (rumba-sounding) samba singing, Carnival dancing, and the smuggling of precious stones.Sara Montiel as Esa Mujer: Pedro Almodóvar inspirationMario Camus directed Esa mujer ("This Woman," 1969), a sort of The Nun's Story meets Madame X meets Sarah and Son (a 1930 mother love melodrama that earned Ruth Chatterton a Best Actress Academy Award nomination). In Esa mujer, Montiel plays Soledad Romero Fuentes, a missionary nun who gets raped, becomes pregnant, abandons her convent, becomes a singing sensation, falls in love with a man who turns out to be her (long-thought-dead) daughter's lover, and is ultimately accused of murder. And that's only part of the plot.Fast-forward to 1983 and inveterate Sara Montiel fan Pedro Almodóvar's unusual look at life in a convent, Dark Habits / Entre tinieblas, and to 1999 and Almodóvar's Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award winner All About My Mother, which features Penélope Cruz as a pregnant nun whose "father of the child" is a transvestite named Lola who also happens to be dying of AIDS.Five years after All About My Mother, Almodóvar paid direct homage to his idol in the brilliant Bad Education (2004). For starters, Gael García Bernal sings "Quizás, quizás, quizás" by mimicking Montiel in Casablanca, Nest of Spies. Additionally, Bad Education features its two schoolboy-lovers masturbating one another while watching Montiel in Esa mujer on the big screen.Thank you so much for this great tribute to Sara Montiel, one of the most beautiful woman of the cinema and don´t matter if she was Spanish because cinema doesn´t understand nationalities.Curiously days before her dead I was listening her in a radio program and was so great, talking about her first husband, Anthony Mann, her adventures in Hollywood and how in Mexico was loved and despite lately in Spain she was like apart, always felt the affection of the people.Before, Spain, was a country where almost all of Hollyweood guild came here. Hemingway, Ava Gardner, Sinatra… and not forgotten, in Almeria was the ideal place to make some movies.She had a wonderful life, she met amazing people like Ava Gardner, James Dean, Lancaster, etc… Sara Montiel with a lot of Spanish actresses like the also beautiful Carmen Sevilla opened the way for the Spanish new generation of actresses. Today, it´s normal see lots of foreign actresses work in Hollywood but before wasn´t so obvious. In each country, brave women did it and would be interesting someday, talk about all these amazing Old Legend actresses who gave a little of themselves to work in the Mecca of the cinema.Sara Montiel always will be in the memory of all, she was one of the biggest actress of Spain who lived whatever she wanted and if the last news was a little "apart" always the audience was with her.Sometimes it´s sad to see actors who have given all, that they were all, see them eclipsed, and tried everything to stay alive in the medias. The last years Sarita Montiel, Antonia Abad was very present in tabloids more for her private life than her work but always was respeted ad she deserved.Adios Sara!!      ebay2602
