About this Show
Super Sara
Born Antonia Abad in a small village in La Mancha, Spain, actress Sara Montiel rose to fame as Hollywood's first Spanish star, taking on roles both at home and abroad from the 1940s to the 1960s. In defiance of the oppressive Franco regime, Montiel achieved status as a sex symbol, a trailblazing feminist icon and a noted ally of the LGBTQ+ community, but would later be the subject of ageist tabloid ridicule and mocked for her multiple marriages and transgressive, over-the-top lifestyle. Featuring never-before-seen footage from Montiel's personal archive as well as candid interviews with friends, family and fans, this fascinating three-part docuseries unravels the mysteries of an enigmatic international figure -- revealing both the fragility and strength of a legendary idol who was light years ahead of her time.
