High Flying Evita- From Eva Duarte to Eva Peron

- Evita's transformation from a dark haired film bit player and model to a radiant blonde radio, motion-picture actress to First Lady of Argentina is pretty impressive. Here is another collage of images showing Eva Duarte's amazing physical transformation into the glamorous Eva Peron. Arguably one of the most fascinating and controversial figures of the 20th century. Idolised by millions as a beautiful, saintly goddess of the people, she is hated and criticized by many as well. I try to show Eva at her most beautiful and not when she was being consumed by the cancer that killed her.
This collage is set to the beautiful song "High Flying Adored" from the musical Evita (1979 recording).
Whatever one thinks of Eva Peron, few would disagree with lyricist Tim Rice when he stated "She had style in spades".
Cheers. - บันเทิง
I LOVE Evita, she is one lady I would have loved to have met, what a beautiful person!
RIP Eva the world still morns for you!!!!
I will offer my comment now.My parents were both peronistas.As a young boy of 13 yers old my mother and fater took me to the rally of August 22 1951.This impressed me so much that I can still hear the sounds today when I close my eyes.Also there at outside of the house holding a candle with my mother when Eva passed.The days of the funeral are beyond my telling.In all my years since,I have never witnessed anything compaired to that sad period.For all the commenters who down Evita.SHAME
Lovely, thank you! Glad to know I wasn't going crazy... just bought the book on Amazon.
Absolutely wonderful--Antonio smolders, Madonna glitters. They and the rest of the movie cast could not have been more perfect. Thanks for sharing this.
@GoddessofCoruscant And for every anti Peronist tale of woe and deceipt there are countless ProPeronist tales of giving, hope, and success. Agree to disagree?? Sounds good to me :-) Cheers.
Ewa had a very sweet face! Those eyes are "puppy eyes" . They could never do any harm. No one is perfect in this very troubled world we live in. Thanks for sharing this extaordinary video.
For all the people that do not think much of Evita here is all that I have to say.Long after you are gone and FORGOTTEN, the Senora will still be known and followed.Like FOREVER.
Evita was ALL we talked about in college...thirty (30?) years ago...can't believe it's been that long....legends never die.....Many thanks for posting and the memories....we called my college roomate "Steveita!!!" ( He eventually married a doctor from Argentina!!! TRUE!)
I love you Evita you are greatest for Argentina , people will never forget
Some people think she only did all she did for her own gain, the musical does but I still fell in love with her because of it.
amazing job!, very very good, i hope u can make another more
Very well said...
@EnzFab73 CON: Eva's contribution to her country by giving the poor, children, women & the old a voice in a rich country that did not share its wealth necessary. Medicine, schooling, housing, education, clothes, food & the entry of women in politics had positive outcomes & were achieved on a mass scale neverbefore seen. To blame Eva for the mistakes committed by future leaders that followed is laughable. It takes more than 1 woman to ruin a country. Especially one as rich as Argentina.
I'd recommend doing some research about Eva Peron. Prior to becoming first lady she was already one of the highest paid radio actresses in the country. When she married Juan Peron, he was wealthy, and so their fortunes were combined. She had enough money to buy what she liked for herself. She didn't rob anyone.
The people loved her because she worked hard in her foundation, giving health care, food, clothing, and housing to the poor.
In response to this criticism, Evita said, "Look. The poor do not want someone who is dowdy looking to protect them. They want me to dress like this."
An understanding of South American and Argentine aesthetics is necessary. Women in Latin America are FAMOUS for always being done to the nines. Latin American women, particularly Argentine women, often look like runway models on a daily basis. Nothing less would have been expected for the First Lady of Argentina.
wow all the pictures
This is from the Original Broadway production recording in 1979. The original London production recording in 1978 was with Elaine Paige as Eva & David Essex as Che.
Ohhh this is just a lovely video :) BTW where did you find the picture of Eva where she is bare backed??? I really like to have it too :)
No one has ever presented any evidence that she stole from the foundation -- despite what the musical says. Unfortunately, people mistake the musical for historical truth.
@GoddessofCoruscant CONT:There is a famous quote from one of her opponents "Had we done for the poor a tiny fraction of what Eva has done. There never would have been a Peron & she still would be a bad actress". That is telling. Had Argentina been better managed PRIOR to 1945, Peron & Evita never would have existed in the political landscape & it's woes were firmly put in place years prior the world knew of a bejewelled blond named Eva Peron.
Eva was more than that, she was very active in Politics and theatrical goes right along with that.
She was like a human Barbie doll ...Her hairstyle and gowns were so over the top
You're both right but my original purpose of my Evita videos is to show Eva's style & glamour which was a major factor in her world-wide appeal. Especially during her RAINBOW TOUR, she graced the covers of mags & newspapers world-wide. The US press labelled her "The Dashing Blonde" & the French press labelled her "La Belle Blonde" & to date she is the only South American First Lady to ever make the cover of TIME magazine.
CONT: It will take more than a biased musical or couple of Anti-Peronist authors & ignorant journalists to destroy the overwhelming achievements of Eva Peron because the actual historical record speaks volumes. Its fascinating that those scholars, historians that have researched Eva Peron for years (in some instances decades) & have evidence to back up their knowledge paint a totally different picture of her.
I agree. Joan of Arc was a young girl who fought bravely and was wrongly sentenced to death by idiots. She also faced her horrid death bravely. I do not believe in literal saints and I am not Catholic but this brave young lady deserved to be canonized even if it took 500 years. Totally not on the same level as Guevara IMO.
The people who love(d) her were generally the poor and working class. They love(d) her because Peronist legislation helped them, built schools, homes, cities for the poor, gave free health care (something we don't even have in the US), etc. The opposition was the middle and upper classes. They hated her because a woman of her social background, particularly a former actress, was not supposed to become First Lady. Also, they opposed Peronism for many reasons.
Neither a Saint nor a woman with class....she was smart enought to get involved with an influencial militar who became president of his country twice. She used her attributes very well same as Cleopatra but in a different circumstances...Cleopatra did it because she loved Egypt. Evita did it because of herself. I am so sorry if this comments hurts any argentinian's feelings
Personaje controvertido, demonizado por los británicos por su postura de defensa de su país frente al Reino Unido, nadie puede negar que Evita encarna el glamour de los años 40. Además una mujer que logró el sufragio universal, la construcción de escuelas, hospitales, orfanatos, etc. Una luchadora incansable.
Biggest problem for film-makers would be finding an actress pretty enough...
@GoddessofCoruscant Well, it's not just my opinion, I am referring to historians who claim the musical is NOT accurate which I agree wholeheartedly. Also, there was a "class war" PRIOR to the Perons. They did not start this. Just because women & the poor were silent during this senseless exploitation of them during those quiet years doesn't mean a "class was" did not exist.
Yes its Mandy Patinkin and Patty Lupone off either the Broadway or London soundtrack.
FANTASTICO! MANDY PATINKIN!
She gave the people something in which to believe--if only everyhone cold say the same!
CONT: Trying to list Evas charitable works prove difficult because there are simply too many to list. Calling the health inspector to close businesses? You can count using one hand at how many time this happened during the first Peronist period. Even after the fall of Peronism in 1955 when the military government wanted to discredit her foundation & asked those so called victims to come forward guess what? No one did.
No, Enzfab, I don't think she hated everyone, but she was bitter towards those in the middle and upper class who she thought had hurt her because she was of a lower class. What I stated was just my opinion. I don't claim to know Eva or know why she did what she did. I think is was more than just hate, though. You can't dismiss what role her charity work played in Juan Peron staying in power. I think that had some to do with it.
I recall Jackie-O always looking beautiful.
I don't claim to know her or know her thoughts on why she did what she did. My thoughts on her motivations were just my opinion and based on my study of her life. No one can know her full motivations. I do think she knew her charity work was one of the reasons Juan stayed in power. She knew on her deathbed that Juan would have major problems when she died. I don't think she hated everyone, but she did hate those who she thought brought her down because she was lower class.
The makers of Evita purposely set out to make Che the narrator to keep the audience from falling under Eva's charms bcoz she was evil. In the biographical text of the brochure of the recent touring production Eva was treated as if she was Stalin with breasts while darling Che's bio was told as if he was Oprah Winfrey. Had Che been a woman he never would have been selected as the narrator, had Eva been a man, the musical never would have seen the light of day. Double standard much?
I think Che function in the musical is to bring in an opposing view on Peron's regime and to show that Eva didn't really do much - not necessarily to say Che was good but Eva and Peronism was bad (but of course, I don't know Weber's politics, I just assume this because Che never fought against Peron)
ha ha ha, great response!
The photo at 2:07 is very beautiful.
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.....
I think the poster is trying to point out that there is a double standard & its a sexist one. Evita never killed anyone as per the evidence yet people & not just Anti-Peronist still compare her to Hitler. She was portrayed as the villian in webber's musical yet Che, a man who killed hundreds was the musical's "hero" & thousands wear his face on T-shirts regardless. Eva may have been ambitious but she dispensed charity to millions=Villian, Che a Communist, killer = Hero. How does that make sense?
I'm trying to remember... when in the musical does the lyric happen? "she had style in spades" ? thanks!
I think you picked the wrong example. Evita is a national hero to most Argentines. Your problem seems to be that there are some people don't consider her a hero. Not everyone considers Che a hero either.
It's interesting that she wore a lot more make-up in the earlier shots, before she became "a lady". In those days, anything more than lipstick, and a little powder to keep the shine down, was considered slutty. Fashions change as to what is considered beauty.
Yeah, um this is the Broadway cast performance. Sung by Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin, people who are, you know, talented.
yes, she did a whole bunch of charity work, but the way she got the money was dirty. That's the whole point. By the way, if Eva had lived longer, do you think Argentina could have sustained her charity without going bankrupt and forcing more people into poverty?
Lastly, to say that Eva didn't really do much is quite laughable. Try naming one First Lady from anywhere around the globe that did as much as Evita did in those 6 short years & in a country where she was handicapped from the start. Even before her death she was already being called the most powerful woman on earth (even by the US media) & with good reason. You do not become this potent a symbol, cause military men to shake in their boots (even when you're dead) for simply doing nothing.
She actually had blonde hair in the picture. That picture was taken around Peron's first inauguration in June 1946. You have to remember that Eva dyed her hair more of a theatrical brassier blonde during her early years, it wasn't until after 1947 that she dyed her hair a paler shade so some photographs of her during 1945-1947 photographed quite dark.
I've searched everywhere, does anyone know if this is Patti LuPone singing?
Umm... Her nickname was *E*vita and she died at 33!
Well, I would agree that eliud82 was pointing to a doublestandard. However, it was not the same one you pointed out. You are pointing out that both Eva and Guevara depended stereotypes of their genders. Thats fair. However, she was trying to argue that someone it was because of that standard that one was more likely to see Guevara as a hero and Evita as someone who isn't. My critique was that THAT argument was ridiculous, since, in both cases, some people consider them heros and others don't.
She looked much prettier with dark hair
Sorry but I accidently deleted your other comment. Re your statement that Eva hated everyone, well that's just foolish. Did you personally know her? Did those idiots who wrote those vitriolic accounts of Eva that have no basis in fact personally know her? Didnt think so. Noone other than Evita knows what her motivations were & judging by historical record, there was more to her motivation than simply hate. You cannot explain her tremendous charitable works with simply having an axe to grind.
@EnzFab73 I meant "class war" not "class was". Sorry.
It isn't in the musical. It's in the book titled "Evita: The Legend of Eva Peron" which Tim Rice wrote the text and his last sentence in the introduction reads:
"The case for Eva Peron? She had style in spades." Cheers.
Are you sure it's not Down Syndrome?Plenty of stupid people write books, my dear. Plenty. Look at history. It's rife with them.
@GoddessofCoruscant Accurate?? LOL. Sorry I disagree. Practically every historian who has researched this women have stated that musical is false. "as theatre it is arresting, as history it is false". Agree with the musicals pathetic attempt at a history lesson all you want however do not expect someone who has researched her story for decades to accept it as fact. That is if you accept tabloid trash, rumour and supposition as historical fact..I don't. sorry.
It doesn't take all day. And you know, since you seem to have so much time on YOUR hands, you might just take a look and see that I only respond when spoken to. You know, like right now. So...
I just wanted to see if I could get you to say "twat."
so why is Joan of Arc considered a hero?
Nothing at all toots, I've got all day. And again, you started with me... but I'll leave you alone now. Have a nice day.
would ruthless work?
Why didn't she keep her dark, natural hair?
Sulla2300 She wanted to look like a virgin mother, remember Argentina is a Roman Catholic Country and the Virgin Mary is still very much a part of the average Argentines life especially in the 40s
I don't think there's really a "need" for any of it.
Not impressive, she did it based on lust.
