The Barefoot Contessa

The extraordinary life journey of a Hollywood movie star is told, from her humble beginnings in Madrid, Spain, to her poignant final moments in Italy.

The funeral of Maria Vargas is a gathering where those who knew her recall her impact on their lives. Maria's journey began when writer/director Harry Dawes discovered her as a flamenco dancer at a nightclub, convincing her to pursue acting, which led to a massive hit film. Later, Maria's testimony in court helped her father, accused of murdering her mother, go free, catapulting her to even greater stardom.
