After the Liberating Revolution, Olmos and her husband, tango singer Charlo [es], were exiled from Argentina and toured throughout America and Spain.

When she was able to finally return in the 1960s, the caliber of roles offered, such as the failure Pesadilla and second tier films and television, created economic problems for the actress.

[3] At the age of 21,[3] she was working in a hat shop called Casa San Juan, as a model,[4] when she was presented to Amanda Ledesma who was managing a show on Radio Buenos Aires.

[3] She learned folk songs from the brothers Carlos and Manuel Acosta Villafañe[4] and as her repertoire grew, she switched to Radio Splendid.

[4] She began working in movies in 1937 when she was hired to sing in the film, El Casamiento de Chichilo directed by Isidoro Navarro and starring Francisco Charmiello.

[3] This success led to her break-through role in Así es la vida (1939) in which she co-starred with Enrique Muiño[5] by Francisco Mugica for which she won an award instituted by the Municipal Museum of Cinema[7] as best dramatic actress.

She had one final appearance, in the film Siempre es difícil volver a casa (1992) and then grew increasingly isolated, as she had no siblings or children and was rarely visited by old friends.
