Blanca Estrada

Actor · Born January 1, 1950 (76) · La Felguera, Asturias, Spain

Blanca Estrada is a Spanish retired actress and presenter best known for her roles throughout the 1970s and 1980s in 20 films classified as uncovered cinema. Sister of the actress Gloria Estrada and cousin of Susana Estrada, Blanca became known in 1972 as the "hostess" or "secretary" of the first season of the TVE contest Un, dos, tres... responda otra vez, along with such popular faces as Ágata Lys or Yolanda Ríos. The next year she went to work as a presenter of the Valerio Lazarov variety show ¡Señoras y señores! Her subsequent cinematic career focused on a series of films of high erotic content, among which stand out Una vela para el diablo (1973), El libro de buen amor (1975, with Patxi Andión, Metralleta Stein (1975), Dios bendiga cada rincón de esta casa (1977, with Lola Gaos, based on the novel Cousin Bazilio by Eça de Queirós, El francotirador (1977), Historia de 'S' (1979), and The Cantabrians (1980), in which the star had frequent nude and "bed scenes", which made her one of the most celebrated actresses of the moment. She also went "a little undressed" in many magazines such as Play-Lady, "where she appeared in vivid leathers,", Interviú, and especially Fotogramas, which she was on the cover of five times in the mid-70s. At the end of 1976, Estrada took part in the chapter of the Antonio Gala series Paisaje con figuras dedicated to Mariana Pineda, broadcast by Televisión Española on 13 December. In 1982, she returned to acting under the direction of Narciso Ibáñez Serrador, this time in a new chapter of the series Historias para no dormir ("El fin empezó ayer"), along with Manuel Tejada, which premiered on Spanish Television on 20 September. Separated from Luis Bastarrica, whom she married in 1970, she has had two romantic relationships, with the Radio Nacional de España broadcaster Joaquín Ocio, who died in 1994, and the journalist Alejo García, who disappeared in 2008 at age 71. After living for a while in the United States, Estrada resides in Málaga, completely away from the artistic world.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
