Biography

Estelita Rodriguez was a Cuban actress best known for her roles in many Westerns with Roy Rogers for Republic Pictures, as well as her role in Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo. Her birth date was in dispute; studio biographies claimed 1928, but her wedding announcement of May 1945 cited her age as 19 as certified before a superior court judge, which would place her year of birth at 1925.
