Undeterred, she helped organize the aging leader's planned return to Argentina in December 1964. Posing as "Delia and Juan Sosa" and sporting Paraguayan passports, she and Perón were intercepted in Rio de Janeiro by Brazilian Intelligence. The fiasco resulted in an Interpol arrest order against her and her detention in Paris. She remained in contact with Perón, however, and joined his entourage on the leader's June 20, 1973, return to Argentina. Perón died in office a year later, and Parodi's own, worsening health (as well as a violent dictatorship) kept her in a low profile in subsequent years. Following a return to democracy in 1983, she took part in numerous interviews and seminars, and published an autobiography. Parodi died in Buenos Aires on 13 May 1991, at age 78. Her casket was displayed in Congress' Hall of Lost Steps, and the main press conference room of the Chamber of Deputies was named in her honor in 2003.
