Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Isabel Sarli was discovered by filmmaker Armando Bo and became the star of his films, starting with El trueno entre las hojas (1957) in 1956. Her nude scenes in this drama --a first in Argentinian cinema-- and their subsequent soft-porn movies were highly criticized and condemned in Argentina. In spite of censorship and persecution, she became an international star, filming in Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Mexico, Panama and Venezuela, and films like Fuego (1969) and Fiebre (1971) reached the American and European markets. Although she was very funny in sex comedies like La mujer del zapatero (1965), Bo insisted in casting her in naturalistic melodramas. After his death in 1981, Isabel Sarli retired and only appeared sporadically in other directors' films.

She was known as &quot;the cleanest star of cinema&quot; because she always had
swimming scenes in the nude, at beaches, rivers, rivulets and cascades.

Her familiar nickname, La Coca, derives from her addiction to
Coca-Cola, which some say may have had some effect on her size.

She had a long off-screen and on relationship with director <a class="ipc-md-link ipc-md-link--entity" href="/name/nm0090109/?ref_=nmtrv_trv">Armando Bo</a>.
