Elia Enid Cadilla Sulsona (born July 11, 1944, in San Juan, Puerto Rico) is a Puerto Rican actress, producer and television show host. Early life Cadilla's parents were both involved in show business: her mother was the poet Elia Sulsona, and her father was the Orquesta Sinfonica de Puerto Rico musician José Armindo Cadilla. As a little girl, Cadilla visited the radio station, WKBM, often to accompany her mom, who worked there. During one of those visits, Cadilla, aged four, had a chance to substitute an actress who had not shown up to work that day. After being read, by her mom, what the other actress had to say on the air, Cadilla memorized the lines and repeated them live, effectively beginning, without knowing it yet, her professional acting career. Cadilla began taking ballet lessons; this allowed the buddying young entertainer to work in theater and in commercials, at an age in which she saw her new car4eer as a side-hobby.
