WATCH: Jim Covarrubias on Rosa Rolanda, his Great Aunt and Dear Friend of Frida Kahlo

Who is Rosa?

Rosa became a vaudeville star performing along the likes of Fred and Adele Astair, and Fred Wynn. She starred in silent films and became life-long friends with New York's elite where she met and married Mexican caricature artist Miguel Covarrubias. This began a marriage of artistic partnership and a journey of bridging creative influencers. Drawing inspiration from her travels, her beloved adopted country of Mexico, the Surrealist movement and her friends, Rosa was a lifelong beacon of creativity.
