Mini Biography

Fiery brunette Andalusian-born singer, dancer and celebrity, in the U.S. from 1928. Using the stage name “Isabelita”, she performed with Xavier Cugat and His Orchestra and was spotlighted in the Mocambo and Ciro’s dance clubs around the Sunset Remove. There, she found the interest of up-and-coming celeb (and husband to be) Rory Calhoun and was quickly destined to maintain pictures. Continuing to become billed as “Isabelita” in her 1st few movies — invariably as south-of-the-border señoritas — she mainly free-lanced for small studios like Republic, Monogram, RKO and PRC. In 1948, she used her mother’s maiden name and known as herself Lita Baron. She experienced exotic prospects in several Boy’s Personal Paper-type activities (with Johnny Sheffield in Bomba on Panther Isle (1949) and reverse Sabu in Savage Drums (1951)). Latino stars were frequently typecast in westerns and Lita was no exclusion: she performed a dance hall vocalist in The Broken Celebrity (1956), appeared fetching as a lady gunslinger in the (normally) mediocre Jesse Wayne’ Females (1954) and guested many times in her husband’s strike CBS-Desilu series The Texan (1958). A unforgettable guest function was as Cuban bombshell Renita Perez, Ricky Ricardo’s ex-dance partner, within a 1952 bout of I REALLY LIKE Lucy (1951). Since her screen career had ended up being relatively desultory, Lita continued to execute in the nightclub circuit (in L.A. and, sometimes, in Vegas). From 1949, she co-hosted “Latin Luxury cruise” on KTLA regional tv, a pioneering every week musical variety present which showcased Latin music. In the 70’s, she moderated a favorite radio plan, “Lunchtime with Lita”, broadcast from Ingleside Inn in Hand Springs, offering interviews with superstars from her Hollywood former. When that finished, she found a fresh vocation in property marketing.
