Diosa Costello

Juana de Dios Castrello, better known as Diosa Costello (April 23, 1913 – June 20, 2013), was a Puerto Rican entertainer, performer, producer and club owner,[1] often referred to as "the Latin Bombshell".

[2] Costello was born Juana de Dios Castrello y Cruz in Guayama, Puerto Rico on April 23, 1913,[3] although 1917 is often incorrectly sourced.

Costello debuted on Broadway in Too Many Girls (1939), which was directed by George Abbott.
