My Take
What interests me about Vanessa del Rio is not the genre but the staying power. To be enshrined in multiple halls of fame, and to move from performer to director, signals someone who insisted on owning her own image rather than simply being looked at. Born in New York in 1952, she carried that city's unfiltered energy into a field that rarely grants its figures lasting legend status. Whatever one thinks of the work, she became the face of an era, and longevity in any corner of entertainment earns my genuine respect.
