Hilda Isabel Gorrindo Sarli (Spanish pronunciation: ; born 9 July 1935), nicknamed Coca, is a retired Argentine actress and glamour model, known for her campy sexploitation films. Sarli was the only Argentinian actress known to have made any worldwide impact, and although she received offers to work with high-profile directors, she declined these. She is considered a cultural icon and the quintessential sex symbol in her home country.
Hilda Isabel Sarli Gorrindo Tito was born in Concordia, Entre Ríos Province, into a very poor family, as one of the daughters of Antonio Gorrindo and María Elena Sarli. Her father left the family when she was 3 years old. Those he had left behind, including Isabel and her mother, then moved to Buenos Aires. Her youngest sibling, and only brother, died at the age of five. Although, years later, her father tried to contact her, angrily she refused.
Sarli trained to become a secretary and, upon completing this training, started working for a publicity agency to support her mother. Then she was offered to work as a model, at which she proved to be so successful that she ended up resigning from her secretarial work. She won an award as the "most photographed model".
