Tall, thin comic actress born in Toronto, Canada, but raised in Cuba. She made her debut as a performer in Havana in 1937. In the 1940s, she
relocated in Mexico where she worked thereafter.
Vitola frequently appeared with Tin Tan, in roles of varying importance, but was always a welcome, eccentric addition to the cast. In later years, she played some dramatic roles as well.
She was married and widowed twice; her second husband was ventriloquist Alex King. One of her sons by her first husband is actor Humberto Elizondo, former head of ANDA, the Mexican actors' union.
