We remember María Eva Duarte who was born in Los Toldos, Argentina, on this day in 1919. She tried acting and modeling but her life changed when she married Juan Peron, a military man who eventually became president of Argentina.
As First Lady, she became President Peron's secret weapon, a woman of incredible political skills hugely popular with the working class.
Evita died very young in 1952. She was only 33.
