She is usually referred to as Eva Perón or Evita. She was born in poverty in the rural village of Los Toldos, in the Pampas, as the youngest of five children. At 15 in 1934, she moved to the nation's capital of Buenos Aires to pursue a career as a stage, radio, and film actress. She met Colonel Juan Perón there on 22 January 1944
First Lady of Colombia (ICBF); Article 58 stated that ""The Presidency of the Institute shall be exercised by the wife of the President..."". This was the first instance that legal responsibility was granted to the Office of the First Lady on a permanent basis. This was later modified by Article 25 of "Law 7 of 1979" that changed the role of the First Lady in the ICBF: ""The board of directors will be presided by the spouse of the President"". This resolved a conflict of authority between the similar offices of President (until then the First Lady) and the General Director; also of note
