Ángela Susana Pereda Estrada (born 18 June 1950 in Gijón, Spain), known professionally as Susana Estrada, is a Spanish actress, vedette, writer and singer. She is considered one of the most uninhibited and provocative sex symbols from the era of the Spanish transition to democracy, and one of the most prominent actresses of "uncovered cinema". From a mining family, Susana Estrada resided in Gijón, where she worked as a librarian at the Ateneo Jovellanos. In the early 1970s she decided to move to Madrid to start her artistic career, beginning with modest incursions into café-théâtre. After a short time she had small roles in films by directors such as José Luis Merino (El Zorro de Monterrey, 1971), Benito Alazraki (Las tres perfectas casadas, 1973), Tomás Aznar (El libro de buen amor, alongside her cousin Blanca Estrada), Jorge Grau (La trastienda [es], 1975), and Amando de Ossorio (Night of the Seagulls, 1975). In 1976, only a few months after the death of Francisco Franco – and with it the end of his regime's censorship – Estrada presented "the most daring show in Madrid", Historias de "Strip-Tease", at the Videoset Theater at No. 5 Calle de la Princesa. In it, alluding to the film Gilda in which Rita Hayworth sensually removes a single glove, Estrada removed everything except that garment. This made her the first Spanish actress to perform completely nude onstage (María José Goyanes and Victoria Vera had previously shown their breasts, in Equus and ¿Por qué corres, Ulises?respectively), marking a transgressive sexual milestone of the time. The same year, she began editing a sexology advice column in Play Lady magazine. Her opinions were considered so immoral that she was prosecuted 14 times for creating a public scandal and sanctioned with a fine, withdrawal of her passport, disqualification from public office, and loss of the right to vote until 1988, "to the point of being forced to have four bodyguards".
