French foreign minister Georges Bidault (R) greets Argentinean Eva Peron, 21 July 1947, as she arrives at Orly airport for a visit in France. Eva Peron, known as Evita (1919-1952), the second wife of Argentine President Juan Peron, was a radio and screen actress before her marriage in 1945. She became a powerful political influence and a mainstay of the Peron government. Next July 26, 2012 marks the 60th anniversary of the death of Eva Peron, who still represents the great Argentine women's myth for her defense of the poorest, after reaching power from humble and illegal origins.
