ngela Susana Pereda Estrada (born 18 June 1950), known professionally
as Susana Estrada, is a Spanish actress, vedette, and singer. She is
considered one of the most uninhibited and provocative sex symbols
from the era of the Spanish transition to democracy, and one of the
most prominent actresses of "uncovered cinema [es]".From a mining
family, Susana Estrada resided in Gijn, where she worked as a
librarian at the Ateneo Jovellanos. In the early 1970s she decided to
move to Madrid to start her artistic career, beginning with modest
incursions into caf-thtre. After a short time she had small roles in
films by directors such as Jos Luis Merino (El Zorro de Monterrey,
1971), Benito Alazraki (Las tres perfectas casadas, 1973), Toms Aznar
(El libro de buen amor, alongside her cousin Blanca Estrada), Jorge
Grau (La trastienda [es], 1975), and Amando de Ossorio (Night of the
Seagulls, 1975).In 1976, only a few months after the death of
Francisco Franco and with it the end of his regime's censorship
Estrada presented "the most daring show in Madrid", Historias de
"Strip-Tease", at the Videoset Theater at No. 5 Calle de la Princesa.
In it, alluding to the film Gilda in which Rita Hayworth sensually
removes a single glove, Estrada removed everything except that
garment. This made her the first Spanish actress to perform completely
nude onstage (Mara Jos Goyanes and Victoria Vera [es] had previously
shown their breasts, in Equus and Por qu corres, Ulises? [es]
respectively), marking a transgressive sexual milestone of the time.
