5.  One of five children, Maria Eva Duarte was born in Argentina in
1919. When she was seven years old, her father died, and she, along
with her mothers and sisters, had to work as cooks for a rich family
in order to survive. In 1933, when she had an acting part in the play
"Student's Arise", she decided that she was going to be an actress.
So, she went to Buenos Aires to find acting jobs, which was very
difficult. She worked as a model at times and got parts in a few
plays, including "La Senora de Perez," but it was hard to have
enough food and money to live on. However, when she dated the
owner of Sintonia Magazine, she found that she had enough
food, money, and jobs and realized that having an impressive
boyfriend was directly related to how well she did. At the time, she
also worked as a radio host at Radio Argentina, Radio Belgrano, and
a third radio station.
 In 1951, Eva decided she would run for vice president.
The descamisados supported her, but the military didn't
because they didn't want a female vice president.
So, Eva was unable to become vice president. Sadly, she
died at a fairly young age on July 26, 1952.

6.  Eva then persuaded a party to be hosted by Colonel Anibal
Imbert, and this changed her life forever. There, she met Colonel
Juan Domingo Peron, then the secretary of the United Offices Group.
As they began to fall in love, Juan became Under Secretary at the War
Ministry and the head of Secretary of Labor and Welfare. On February
24, 1944, Juan refused to resign and the president of Argentina was
forced to resign instead. Juan soon became the vice president to the
new president, and Eva stayed with him.
 On December 9, Eva and Juan were married at a small wedding. Juan
ran for president and was highly supported by the poor. He was
elected on March 28 and Eva became the First Lady. As First Lady, she
had all the Argentinians call her by her more informal and friendly
name, Evita, and helped out the poor and the country as much as she
could. She organized the Peronista party's women's branch, showing
her support of women's rights. She also created the Eva Peron
Foundation, which helped people get money, housing, and clothing.
Mostly, she helped out the poor, whom she called "los descamisados,"
meaning "the shirtless ones," by establishing orphanages for
children, among other things. Eva also toured Europe and was
received well in Spain, but was not well received in France, Great
Britain, or Italy. She certainly must have been happy to return to her
country of Argentina.

7.  In 1987, Perons tomb was
desecrated, and his hands and some
personal effects, including his
sword, were stolen. Perón's hands were
cut off with a chainsaw. A ransom
letter asking for US$8 million was sent
to some Peronist members of
Congress.
