Voluptuous, raven-haired Isabel Sarli — Miss Argentina of 1955 — became the cinema sex siren of her native country by starring in over two dozen movies, most of them directed by husband Armando Bo. Her most infamous role, as an insatiable nymphomaniac in 1969's Fuego ("Fire"), proved too steamy for government censors; the film was banned from domestic release. This didn't stop foreign distribution, however. It actually received a theatrical run in the United States and elsewhere, establishing Sarli as an international cult film femme fatale. Oddball director/kitsch maven John Waters has cited Fuego as among his inspirations. |
