Cosme y Almanza, Eusebia Adriana, 1911-

"Eusebia Adriana Cosme y Almanza (1910-late 1970s) was a professional reciter and actor who won renown from her interpretations of Afro- Antillian poetry. Born and raised in Cuba, Cosme began to perform professionally in the early 1930s, and her artistry inspired poets to write works expressly for her. She settled in New York in the late '30s, hosting a regular program on CBS radio. Her stage acting career began in 1955, while her first film appearance came in 1956. She also painted and wrote at least one screenplay"--Publisher's description.
