Estelita Rodriguez, Cuban Fireball

Estelita Rodriguez was the Cuban Fireball and
The Fabulous Senorita. She was Republic Pictures'
answer to Lupe Velez, the "Mexican Spitfire" of
RKO. The IMDb says she was once supposed to play
Lupe Velez in a film. She was in Roy Rogers movies
and John Wayne's Rio Bravo (1959). In the middle
of her career, she dropped her last name and went
simply by Estelita. There are more photos of her at
Glamour Girls of the Silver Screen. Her final movie
was the outrageously bad Jesse James Meets
Frankenstein's Daughter (1966), which you can
watch in its grim entirety at the Internet Archive.
