Clara Zully Montero (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈklaɾa ˈsuli monˈteɾo]; born January 25, 1944) is a Cuban actress who has worked in television, film, and theatre.

Her mother noticed her interest in performing, and placed her in La Academia De Arte Dramatico De La Habana (School of Dramatic Arts in Havana, Cuba).

At the age of 16, she placed her acting career on hold to get married, and gave birth to two daughters, Martha and Elaine.

Montero and her husband moved to her uncle-in-law's home in New York, United States, and they worked to provide food and shelter for their family.

She got a job in an import/export company near Wall Street in New York City.
