Vedette (cabaret)
Vedette is the term used in Hispanic American countries to describe female entertainers with multiple talents for singing, dancing, or acting. Although the Spanish term is derived from French vedette (""starlet"") its meaning is equivalent to French meneuse de revue (""showgirl"" or ""bombshell""). Examples include Suzy King, Susana Giménez, Iris Chacón, Josephine Baker, Liliane Montevecchi, and Candida Batista. More broadly, the term describes female variety performers whose talents typically include dancing, acting, and singing in theatres and carnavals. These risqué productions are similar to the French cabaret, burlesque, and revue.
