Nina Quartero (born Gladys Quartararo;[1] March 17, 1908 – November 23, 1985) was an American movie actress whose career spanned from 1928 to 1943. She starred in several shorts and later in features such as The Red Mark (1928), Frozen River (1929), and Men of the North (1930).

Early life

[edit]

Quartero was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Quartararo.[2]

Career

[edit]

She appeared in One Stolen Night (1928), cast with Betty Bronson and William Collier. The story concerns a British World War I soldier who comes to the assistance of an enslaved dancer. In Frozen River (1929) she was paired with Raymond McKee as the motion picture's romantic leads.

In 1931 Quartero appeared in Arizona, an early John Wayne movie. Playing "Conchita," she is a source of strife in Wayne's relationship to the characters depicted by Laura La Plante and June Clyde. She performed again with Wayne in The Man from Monterey (1933). Her final screen performances show Quartero playing very small parts, such as an uncredited native dancer in Green Hell (1940), and a bar-girl in A Lady Takes a Chance (1943).

Personal life

[edit]

Quartero once tried a publicity stunt by claiming that she was betrothed to Notre Dame All-American quarterback Frank Carideo. Carideo demanded a retraction of Quartero's engagement announcement, although he admitted he knew her from a time when each resided in Mount Vernon, New York. He had also visited her home, in Beverly Hills, California, prior to the 1930 University of Southern California game, to exchange greetings.[3]
