Chiquita 1955

   

 

Starting in 1945 Chiquita Juarez  started her show for our Spanish speaking troops.  I wish I had more information on MIss Juarez.  She showed up on at least one Duffy's Tavern and had smaller parts in several movies.  For AFRS, she was Chiquita...

We tried to serve all soldiers.  Part of that being our native Spanish speaking troops.  Chiquita debuted during WWII and was still going strong in the 1950s.  I'm trying to locate more information about her.  Apparently, she had some small movie roles in the 1940s.

Gracias amiga por todo!

In 1945, the Armed Forces Radio Service initiated direct programming for its Hispanic audience with the Chiquita program, hosted by Chiquita Juarez. Ms. Juarez is believed to have undertaken a few minor film roles and appeared on Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Additionally, she was featured in a Father's Day episode of Duffy's Tavern as one of Archie the Bartender's potential romantic interests.

Ten years later, she was still doing the show.
