Buenos Aires — Isabel Sarli, who was an immensely popular star of sexploitation films in Argentina during the 1960s and ’70s and a bane of censors, died on Tuesday in San Isidro, a suburb of Buenos Aires. She was 89, and in her late years had found new generations of fans. The cause was cardiac arrest, said Gustavo Cardonatti, an official at San Isidro Central Hospital, where she had been hospitalized with a urinary tract infection. But Ms. Sarli had not intended to cause such a sensation, she said. She had been tricked, she said, by the director, Armando Bo, who told her that she would be filmed from a distance.
