Vanessa Show (born 1945 in La Banda, Argentina) is a transsexual performer.
In 1970 Vanessa started her show business career as a dancer in the Maipo Theatre, with Nelida Lobato and later with Nelida Roca. In 1975, a European manager of performers was impressed by her stage talent and offered her a contract for performing in many European capitals; this lasted for 15 years. Vanessa was the leading celebrity at important cabarets like the famous “Carrousel de Paris” and “Madame Arthur” in Paris, France. Vanessa also was the main attraction of private presentations at parties of the King of Morocco.
Late in the 1990s, Vanessa nostalgially decided to return to her homeland. Show currently resides in Buenos Aires.
Famous quotes containing the words vanessa and/or show:
“Vanessa wanted to be a ballerina. Dad had such hopes for her.... Corin was the academically brilliant one, and a fencer of Olympic standard. Everything was expected of them, and they fulfilled all expectations. But I was the one of whom nothing was expected. I remember a game the three of us played. Vanessa was the President of the United States, Corin was the British Prime Minister—and I was the royal dog.”
—Lynn Redgrave (b. 1943)
“A cultivated style would be like a mask. Everybody knows it’s a mask, and sooner or later you must show yourself—or at least, you show yourself as someone who could not afford to show himself, and so created something to hide behind.... You do not create a style. You work, and develop yourself; your style is an emanation from your own being.”
—Katherine Anne Porter (1890–1980)
