 The Story of Brazilian Bombshell Carmen Miranda. An exciting dramatic musical about film legend/phenomena! At one point in her career, Carmen Miranda was the highest paid woman in the world! An  immigrant makes good  before-her-time liberated woman - whose fall from grace was one of the most bizarre incidents in film history! In a matter of moments, Carmen Miranda went from the world s highest paid woman to an out of work Brazilian Bombshell, who was blackballed by Hollywood and Show Business in general. The morality of our society in the 1940 s and 1950 s, being what it was, could not handle her  problem  -- one -- if it happened today -- or any other female star performer -- would guarantee to sell out her next concert tour! Carmen s struggle to live her life after the  problem  became much more difficult due to the fact that the people of America looked upon her as immoral and dirty.
