Lolita Torres (born Beatriz Mariana Torres; 26 March 1930 – 14 September 2002) was an Argentine film actress and singer (soprano).[1]
She began her career at age 11, performing folk songs in a theater in Buenos Aires. In 1944 she began acting in films, eventually appearing in seventeen films during the Golden Age of Argentine cinema.[2]
She was so popular in the Soviet Union that many newborn girls were named 'Lolita' after her tour there in 1963.[3] In 2002 she was honored as "Ciudadano Ilustre de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires" ("Illustrious Citizen of the City of Buenos Aires").[4]
The Plaza Lolita Torres in her birthplace of Avellaneda is named for her.[5]
