Lola montez fbb - Volbeat: 'Lola Montez' Performance Video Released

The film that launched De Carlo into stardom was Salome, Where She Danced 1945 , an unintentionally ridiculous saga of a Mata-Hari-type Viennese dancer who has an opera house built for her and a town named after her in the American west.

In the outrageously kitsch biopic Song of Sheherazade 1947 , De Carlo played a fictional Moroccan nightclub dancer named Cara de Talavera inspiring mariner Rimsky-Korsakov Jean-Pierre Aumont to compose.

She appeared in Bonanza and The Virginian, before landing the role that would introduce her to a new generation, and for which she is mostly known today.
