Biography

Although a New Yorker of Italian parentage, Nena Quartaro spent her entire screen career playing feisty Latin senoritas. Quartaro's career began well enough with The Red Mark (1928), a red-blooded action melodrama in which she played an innocent girl involved with inmates at a penal colony, and some suggested she might become a new Dolores Del Rio. But another newcomer, Lupe Velez, got the choice assignments while Quartaro was relegated to supporting the likes of Bob Steele and Rin-Tin-Tin. By the mid-'30s, she mainly portrayed Mexican types in B-Westerns and her career was over by the early '40s. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
