Vedette (cabaret)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A vedette is the main female artist of a show derived from cabaret and its subcategories of revue, vaudeville, music hall or burlesque. The purpose of the vedette is to entertain and captivate the public. Vedettes are expected to sing, dance and act on stage. Particularly accomplished artistes are considered super vedettes or first vedettes. Vedettes often appear alongside groups of dancers, flashy and revealing costumes, magicians, comedians, jugglers, or even performing animals. Vedettes specializing in burlesque generally do striptease and may also perform nude on stage.

In the 20th century, vedette shows were successful in the cabarets, theaters and nightclubs of countries such as Spain, France, Argentina and Mexico. Paris and Las Vegas were considered the main cradle of the vedettes.

Etymology

[edit]

Vedette is a French word that designates the star of a show, at the top of the billing.[1] The meaning of the term has changed over the years. From the early twentieth century, it began to be used for the main female artists in cabaret shows such as burlesque, vaudeville, music hall or revue. The height of fame and popularity of these performers coincided with the periods of sexual liberation in the 20th century – the 1920s, 1940s and 1970s.

The popularity of vedettes in France began to increase at the beginning of the 20th century. Thereafter they achieved greater popularity in Latin countries. At different times they became an exotic feature of the nightlife of Spain, Argentina and Mexico. The term vedette is little used in English-speaking countries. In the United States there are popular cabaret and burlesque shows in Las Vegas, where the term used for the performers is showgirl. Venues such as Le Lido, the Moulin Rouge, and the Crazy Horse in France, the Teatro Maipo and the Teatro El Nacional in Argentina, and the Teatro de la Ciudad "Esperanza Iris" in Mexico are or were famous for their vedette shows.

Europe

[edit]

France

[edit]
Le Lido of Paris

France is considered the cradle of vedettes worldwide. Its capital, Paris, has been home to some of the most famous cabarets in the world. Among these are the Moulin Rouge and the Folies Bergère, pioneers of night shows in which the vedettes appeared on the scene half naked and doing Tableau vivant. Other famous venues are the Le Lido and Bataclan, also famous for their vaudeville and revues. In more recent times, the Crazy Horse also became a notable cabaret.

Famous French vedettes included the "Three Graces" of the Belle Époque: Émilienne d'Alençon, Liane de Pougy, and La Bella Otero.[2] The famous Mistinguett became one of the most popular French artists of her time[3] while Madame Rasimi is remembered as the founder of the Bataclan. Another outstanding figure was Gina Palerme.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the novelist Colette also performed in revue. Another prominent figure of that time was the world-famous Dutch spy Mata Hari. The legendary Cléo de Mérode of the Folies Bergère was another of the great stars.[4]

Mistinguett at the Moulin Rouge

Joséphine Baker,[5] of American origin, is remembered as one of the most important vedettes. Her "Revue Nègre", which included a jazz orchestra, caused a sensation. Her exotic dance form, her uninhibited sexuality and her minimal dress (which included a skirt made of bananas) were more attractive to Europeans than to Americans. She became the star of Parisian nights and even opened her own club, Chez Josephine.

Another important figure was Coccinelle, considered the first transgender vedette in history.[6] The actress and singer Liliane Montevecchi stood out as vedette in the Folies Bergère in the 1970s, and eventually conquered Broadway. Another figure of the time was the Italian Xenia Monty.

In recent times the vedette shows have emphasized figures like Arielle Dombasle (known as the vedette-like Dolorès Sugar Rose) and Marlène Mourreau.

From the 1980s and 1990s stand out figures such as Lita Claver "La Maña";[24] Norma Duval, one of the last stars of the traditional magazine, a type of spectacle that during those years was in decline and that was maintained mainly thanks to the tourists who visited Paris;[25] Tania Doris, another one of the last representatives of the sort in Spain ; Paloma Hurtado, María José Nieto "Maripepa",[26] Rosa Valenty, Africa Pratt and the French Marlène Mourreau.[27]

In the last years they have emphasized figures like La Terremoto de Alcorcón and the transsexual actresses ´Bibiana Fernandez, La Veneno, Paca la Piraña and La Prohibida.

The Americas

[edit]

Argentina

[edit]

Revue shows were popularized in Buenos Aires from the 1920s, mainly in the Teatro Maipo.[28] Tita Merello became one of the most famous vedettes of the time.[29]

In the 1950s vedettes of Cuban origin appeared, like Blanquita Amaro[30] Amelia Vargas[31] and Rosita Fornés.[32] They had all the glitz, grace and glamor that characterized the era, and shared the stage with local stars like Nélida Roca.[33]

In the 1990s, new vedettes appeared, some of whose fame would spread to the next decade, such as Cris Miró,[44] María Fernanda Callejón, the Puerto Rican Lourdes Chacón[45][46][47] and Monica Ayos.[48]

In the first years of the 21st century there has been a return of the revues in the Avenida Corrientes with figures like Florencia de la V,[49] María Eugenia Ritó,[50] Adabel Guerrero,[51] and Valeria Archimó.[52]

Mexico

[edit]
Yolanda Montes

The image of the Vedette in Mexico arises from the beginning of the 20th century with the rise of the called "Carpas" and the Revues. Some venues such as Teatro Principal,[53] the Teatro Colón[54] and the Teatro Arbeu[55] were considered as the cathedral of the revues and burlesque in Mexico City. There arise figures like Lupe Vélez, who, before being consecrated as a star in Hollywood, was considered one of the queens of the frivolous theater.[56] The maximum figure of the time was Maria Conesa "The White Kitten", who also had a very long career spanning theater, film and television.[57] Other outstanding figures of the time were Esperanza Iris,[58] Celia Montalván,[59] Lupe Rivas Cacho,[60] Amparo Arozamena,[61] Prudencia Grifell,[62] Celia Padilla,[63] Delia Magaña,[64] Lupe Inclán, Aurora Walker, Amelia Wilhelmy[65] and Mimí Derba,[66] among others. Conesa, Montalván and Rivas Cacho, were even immortalized in a famous foxtrot called Mi querido capitán (My dear captain).

In the 1950s[67] saw a resurgence of nightlife in Mexico City. Venues like the Tivoli, the Waikikí, the Margo (after the Teatro Blanquita), the Follies Bergere and the Teatro Lírico,[68] among others, became the main forums for the blossoming of the vedettes. Special mention should be made of the Exoticas, a group of vedettes that caused fury in Mexico's nightlife in the late 1940s and early 1950s. These "Exoticas" were characterized by using extravagant names, and their shows included African, Tahitian or Oriental dances.[69] The most famous of the "Exoticas" was Yolanda Montes "Tongolele",[70] one of the most important dancers of Latin America, and has been in force for more than sixty years. Together with Tongolele, the most famous were Su Muy Key The Chinese Doll,[71] and Kalantan. Another famous "Exóticas" were Trudi Bora, Turanda, Joyce Cameron, Tanabonga, Tundra, Gemma, Eda Lorna, Kurumba, Bongala, Tula Montenegro, Brenda Conde, Josefina del Mar and Naná.[72] Parallel to the success of the Exoticas, they appear in Mexico the famous "Rumberas", dancers of Afro-American rhythms. The Rumberas managed to create their own cinematographic genre: The Rumberas film[73] In the called Golden Age of Mexican cinema. The Rumberas films reflected in many of its arguments the life of the women in the night centers and cabarets. The main exponents of the genre were the Cubans María Antonieta Pons,[74] Amalia Aguilar,[75] Ninón Sevilla[76] and Rosa Carmina[77] as well the Mexican Meche Barba.[78] These women were complete vedettes who never needed to explicitly teach their bodies, captivating audiences only with their dances and other stage talents. The Rumberas also performed shows and live performances in important venues. With the decline of the Rumberas film in the mid-fifties, some rumberas broadened their horizons and ventured into vedette shows. Particularly remembered are the live shows of Amalia Aguilar and Rosa Carmina, who even filled stadiums in various countries in Central and South America. The Cuban Rosita Fornés deserves special mention. She reaches the final consecration in Mexico before conquering the rest of the continent.[79]

In the 1960s the splendor of the vedettes in Mexico lost force. Even so, worthy of mention are the shows offered in venues such as the Blanquita Theater or "El Patio" by the stars such as Sonia Furió, Ana Luisa Peluffo[80] and Ana Bertha Lepe.[81] In the midst of the fury of the Rock and Roll era, were famous figures like Malú Reyes[82] and Emily Cranz.[83] Actresses such as Jacqueline Voltaire[84] and Irán Eory[85] also performed shows as vedettes.

The 1970s and 1980s are considered the golden era of the vedettes in Mexico, thanks to a massive revival of nightlife in the country's capital. Mexico City was flooded with nightclubs, cabarets of all levels and burlesque theaters where the vedettes began to bloom. Among the most important nightclubs that illuminated the capital of the country are the Terazza Casino, the Capri (from the Hotel Regis), the Imperial, the Minuet, the Rio Rosa, La Fuente, El Conjunto Marrakech, La Copa de Champagne, El Cordiale, El Rondinella, El Clóset, El Quid, El 77, the Impala Bar and the Belvedere of the Hilton Continental Hotel. Some cabarets such as La Burbuja, Montparnasse, Las Fabulosas, El Can-Can, Los Globos, King Kong and Savoy also reached a great boom, while theaters like El Iris, El Blanquita and the Teatro Fru Fru[86] presented burlesque shows, where the shows were more audacious and explicit. In addition, thanks to television, movies and magazines, the vedettes in Mexico reached their highest point of popularity. Many of them also ventured into the cinema, within the so-called Mexican sex comedy.[87] On the other hand, the popular television program Variedades de medianoche (Varieties of the Midnight) contributed to the boom of these women and launched to the fame to dozens of them.[88]

Rossy Mendoza

Among the legendary vedettes that illuminated the nightlife of Mexico City are Olga Breeskin also known as "Super Olga" who achieved great fame for her spectacular performances where she danced surrounded by dancers and exotic animals while playing the violin;[89] Angélica Chaín,[90] who achieved fame first in magazines, then start a career as a vedette and finally consecrate herself in the cinema; Amira Cruzat, famous for her show known as The Dressing Room of Amira Cruzat;[91] Lila Deneken "The Number One", important singer and the first Latin American star to present a show at the Monte-Carlo Sporting Club;[92] the Argentine Zulma Faiad who settled in Mexico much of the decade of the 1970s and reached a great fame in cinema and night centers;[93] Gloriella, popular star of the burlesque and numerous movies;[94] Princesa Lea,[95] very popular for presenting a show in which she bathed in a glass of champagne; Lyn May,[96] of Chinese ancestry, pioneer of the nudes and one of the principal stars of the burlesque; Rossy Mendoza,[97] known popularly as "The Body" or "The Shorter Waist", thanks to her impressive anatomy; Sasha Montenegro,[98] who on par of her film career performed live shows that attracted the public because of her popularity; The Brazilian Gina Montes, famous by her appearance in a popular TV Show;[99] Grace Renat, The Goddess of the Night,[91] Irma Serrano,[100] who scandalized at the time with her controversial theatrical spectacles in the enclosure of her property, the Theater Fru-Frú; Wanda Seux,[101] called "The Golden Bomb" and considered the "Barbie" of the vedettes for her thin figure and blonde hair; Thelma Tixou "The Girl of the Golden Body",[102] native of Argentina, famous for her stature and imposing physique, and star for several years of the famous cabaret El Capri, Isela Vega,[103] popular Mexican film actress, who scandalized audiences with her provocative shows in the stage, and Princesa Yamal,[104] famous by her Arabian exotic dances.

Other outstanding figures were Brigitte Aubé, Cleopatra,[105] Alejandra del Moral,[106] Mora Escudero,[107] Gioconda,[108] Ivonne Govea,[109] Iris Cristal,[110] Yolanda Liévana,[111] Norma Lee,[112] Mara Marú,[113] Miss Melina Mey,[114] Gina Morett, the transgender Jessica Muriel,[115] Valeria Pani,[116] Noelia Noel,[110] Gabriela Ríos,[117] Olga Ríos,[110] Lina Santos,[118] Merle Uribe[119] and Judith Velasco Herrera,[107] among many others.

In the year 2016, the filmmaker María José Cuevas made the documentary Beauties of the Night, which portrays the life of five of these great vedettes.[120]

One of the last great vedettes in Mexico was Francis García, a transvestite artist who was the main star of the Teatro Blanquita for more than a decade.[121] In recent years, large night centers have virtually disappeared from Mexico. Some actresses and singers perform shows of vedettes in other venues, such as the Palenques. Among them are figures such as Costa Rican Maribel Guardia,[122] Mexicans Lorena Herrera, Mariana Seoane,[123] the transgender Alejandra Bogue[124] and Ninel Conde and the Cubans Niurka Marcos[125] and Lis Vega.[126]

Her innovations consisted of a casual style, against the spasmodic movements of other strippers (she emphasized the joke during the striptease) and brought a keen sense of humor to her performances. She was one of the main stars of the Minsky's Burlesque, with whom she worked four years. While working with the Minsky brothers she was arrested several times.[135] Another important figure of this time was Novita "The Pixie of Burlesque", one of the founders of the Exotic Dancers League (EDL).[136] In the 1940s and 1950s, the exotic dancer Lottie 'The Body' Graves also shone in the burlesque. She was known as "The Black Gypsy Rose Lee".[137] In the 1950s and 1960s Jennie Lee was considered one of the queens of burlesque.[138]
