}}Estelita Rodriguez (July 2, 1928 – March 12, 1966) was a Cuban actress best known for her roles in many Roy Rogers Republic westerns, and her role in Howard Hawks' western classic Rio Bravo.[1]

Early life and career

Rodriguez's career began in 1942 when she won a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer at the age of 14.{{cn|date=August 2018}} She continued to go to MGM school in preparation to make a movie. However, MGM dropped her at the last minute, and Rodriguez traveled back to New York until 1945 when she signed a five-picture deal with Republic.{{cn|date=August 2018}} The studio that same year cast her in her first film, Mexicana starring Tito Guízar, Constance Moore, and Leo Carrillo.[2] Although that acting opportunity made her career take a better turn, Rodriguez did not enjoy making the movie, reportedly complaining that "Everyone treats me like a kid. I am a mother."{{cn|date=August 2018}} She was subsequently cast in 1945 in her first Roy Rogers film, Along the Navajo Trail and then two years later with Rogers again in On the Old Spanish Trail.[2] Before concluding her career with Republic in 1952, she appeared in a total of nine Roy Rogers productions as well as in other projects for the studio. Later, Rodriguez worked in a few additional films for Paramount, MGM, and Embassy Pictures, including Rio Bravo in 1959 and Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter—her final Hollywood film—in 1966.[2]
