Early Years
Born in Key West, Florida of Spanish and Cuban descent, Dulce Maria
Garcia started performing early, starring in green bean radio
commercials at age four. At the age of seven she appeared in soap
operas, on radio, television and on stage.
At the age of thirteen she danced in the chorus of the Leon Miller
production for Royal American Shows which headlined Sally Rand the
famous fan dancer.
Candy Caramelo was encouraged to become a burlesque performer herself;
however, her Catholic background was an obstacle. Her producer explained
to her that the Sistine Chapel and other religious venues around the
world contained images of nude angels and that nudity can be artistic if
it is done in good taste.
Candy Caramelo performed as a flamenco dancer at the "1965 World's Fair" in
New York. She was billed as "The Latin from Manhattan" and followed in
the same circuit as Lili St. Cyr.
She starred in "The French Revue" at "Casa Loma" as part of the "1967
World's Fair" in Montreal. In Halifax she appeared at the "Lobster Trap"
and in Toronto at the "Victory Burlesque Theatre".
The following year, after the release of the popular movie, she
adopted the name "Rosemary's Baby, the girl with the little devil in
her". She also starred at the reopening of the "Mayfair", the biggest
burlesque theatre in New York after a ban had been lifted on burlesque.
She then became "Candy Baby". Once, when ticket sales were slow for a
Nashville show, Candy donned a flesh-colored g-string and
breast-brushing wig and rode a horse - as Lady Godiva, of course -
through downtown streets. She was arrested, but there wasn't an empty
seat in the house for the next show.
Candy Is No Baby Anymore
As "Candy Caramelo", with a cast of forty-five beautiful girls she
headlined at "Club Tropigala" in the Fontainebleau Hilton in Miami. She
has performed in Montreal at the "El Mocambo" in New York at the "Gaiety
Burlesque Theatre" and "Radio City Music Hall" and in Paris at "Les
Folies Bergere" and the "Moulin Rouge". She has also performed in
Mexico, Venezuela, Spain, China, Japan, Hawaii and Australia.
Other accomplishments include acting in Spanish movies and performing
on Radio Caracas, Univision Telemundo, and Mexico Televisa. She appeared
as a guest performer on the "Joe E. Brown Show", "Roseanne" with
Roseanne Barr and the "Late Show with David Letterman". Candy holds the
Guinness Record as the "World's Biggest Showgirl", standing six feet
tall and weighing 300 pounds. She has since lost 130 pounds.
