Eva Duarte de Peron, or 'Evita' as she is also called, is one of the most controversial figures in history. A minor actress when she married Argentine president-to-be Juan Peron, her political power and prestige eventually equaled, and perhaps eclipsed, his. Was she the power-hungry Marie Antoinette figure her detractors claim? Or was she really the savior of the working poor?
