Sorry there is no Biography!


The intersection of Hollywood Bl. and Orange Drive, was named Carmen Miranda Square. [September 1998] The "Lady with the Tutti-Frutti Hat" in Hollywood musicals of the 1940s. See her at her sparkling best as the cheeky "Rosita Murphy" in the gorgeous Technicolor Springtime in the Rockies (1942), in which, without the slightest effort, she virtually steals every scene she's in - upstaging even the film's [nominal] star, Betty Grable! Sister of actress Aurora Miranda (b.1915), Olinda (b.1907), Amaro (b.1911), Cecília (b.1913) and Oscar (b.1916). She was the subject of a Jimmy Buffett song called, "They Don't Dance Like Carmen No More" Carmen Miranda, or rather her ghost, is the subject of a song by Leslie Fish called "Carmen Miranda's ghost is haunting Space Station Three". There is also a book by that name, containing a collection of short stories. The only connection between the stories is that each have to do with the title. Daughter of José Maria Pinto da Cunha (1887-1938) and Maria Emília Miranda (1886-1971).
