Argentina’s New Ambassador Has a SKINtillating Soft-Core Past [PICS]

Here’s some political news that won’t put you to sleep: Argentina’s new undersecretary to the Ministry of Culture is none other than soft-core legend Isabel Sarli . Isabel’s skinema career may have ended decades ago, but one gander at her photos and it’s obvious why they haven’t been forgotten. The sexbombastic Ms. Sarli started her career as a model and went on to win the title of Miss Argentina 1955 before her career took a very sensual turn in the films La Diosa impura (1963), Desnuda en la arena (1969), Fuego (1969), Fiebre (1970), and more. She even had the distinction of becoming the first Argentinean actress to do full frontal nudity on film, and in spite of censorship and persecution went on to became an international star. Now that’s how you put the “ass” back in ambassador! See pics after the jump!

REVIEW: Leading Ladies Lift Lovely Letters to Juliet

Letters to Juliet also has the distinction of featuring a marvelous performance from the woman who is, in my view, our greatest living actress.
