Nin%C3%B3n Sevilla

Emelia Prez Castellanos , better known as Ninn Sevilla, was a Cubanborn Mexican film actress and dancer who was active during the golden age of Mexican cinema. She was considered one of the greatest exponents of the Rumberas film in the 1940s and 1950s.

Sevilla was born and raised in Centro Habana, a popular section of Havana. As a youth, she thought about becoming a missionary nun, but after she started dancing with success in nightclubs and cabarets, she opted for a career in show business. She adopted her stage name in tribute to the legendary French courtesan Ninon de Lenclos and began to work in the chorus of the Cuban comedians Mim Cal and Leopoldo Fernndez, respectively known as Nananina and Tres Patines .
