The appearance of the beautiful and gifted American-made star on the fabled Madrilenian ring was an unmitigated triumph. Pinito’s talent may have blossomed out of her country, but the Spanish audiences instantly reclaimed her, and Pinito del Oro became a household name in Spain. She was subsequently featured at the [[Coliseu dos Recreios]] in Lisbon, Portugal&mdash;another prestigious European venue at the time. Her European career was launched.</div></td></tr>
