Some names transcend the limitations of conflicting languages, and that is why a discerning man knows before he sees her, from her tag alone, that Concha Velasco is an exotic, international sex symbol. A seriously trained dancer whose first cinematic exposure came in 1954, Concha has reigned on the stage and screen of her native Spain in a career that has outlasted the tenure of a dictator for life, survived the depleted influence of a waning monarchy, and burgeoned with the emergence of a vibrant democracy. In comedies and tragedies, Concha has embodied the vibrant, life-loving soul of her native land, and in Yo Soy Fulana de Tal (1975), she flashed that vibrant embodiment in a fully nude bathtub frolic.
