Isabel nicknamed ‘La Coca’ became famous for nude scenes in movies such as Thunder in the Leaves (1956). The films were condemned and criticised when released during a time of censorship and traditional family values but she went on to become a national sex symbol in Argentina and an international success. She was also named Miss Argentina in 1955.
