About Diosa Costello

Juana de Dios Castrello, better known as Diosa Costello, was a Puerto Rican entertainer, performer, producer and club owner, often referred to as "the Latin Bombshell". Costello is often erroneously cited as the first Latina to appear on the Broadway stage; however Lupe Vélez had three Broadway credits before Costello's 1939 Broadway debut. She became the first Puerto Rican vedette to co-star in Broadway.
