~Actually christened Billie Osterman, Raquel Torres was born November 11, 1908 in Hermosillo,
Sonora, Mexico, where her father kept a merchandise store. She was educated in Los Angeles in a
convent. And what could be more romantic than to make your screen debut as on the "White
Shadows in the South Seas"? Raquel has black hair and dark brown eyes. She is 5 feet, 2 inches in
height and weighs 110 pounds. Her beauty resembles that of no other woman on the screen and is
pure Spanish in type.~
