Born in San Salvador, El Salvador, she was the daughter of Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz.

Sent to Canada for boarding school, she later chose to remain in Paris to pursue a career as a fashion model. Her life took a tragic turn amid intense love affairs and drug abuse, and she died by suicide in 1965 at the age of 25, in front of her last lover, Mexican bullfighter Jaime Bravo, in Colombia. She was only 25.
