Walkiria Montini

Walkiria Montini (death, April 2008) was a Brazilian vedette and film and theater actress who developed her career in Spain.

She was known for her role in the trans scene of the 1980s in Spain and for starring in 1989 in the first legal marriage of a trans woman with another woman in the country.

In 1984, she appeared in the play Locas de amor at the Teatro Muñoz Seca, and that same year she was part of the cast of Escándalo Gay, staged at the Teatro Progreso. Two years later, she became the first vedette to perform at Sala Minotauro in Madrid with her show “Lo Prohibido.” During this same time, she played minor roles in two films: La tercera luna (1984) and Los presuntos (1986).

On December 15, 1989, she married cabaret artist and work colleague Mercedes Estrada, becoming the first trans woman in Spain to marry another woman. Several days after their wedding, both posed semi-nude for the magazine Interviú.

Throughout her career, she frequently performed alongside Argentine artist Vanessa Nell. Walkiria Montini died in April 2008 at the age of 52.
