In order to hype the sale of some household goods, someone is advertising that the owner, Yolanda Almaguer Jensen, “was even in the movie _The Alamo_ with John Wayne”.

The [IMDB.com entry for _The Alamo_ (1960)](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053580/fullcredits#cast) does not show anyone by that name in the cast/crew, nor does it have a listing for “Yolanda Almaguer”, “Yolanda Almaguer Jensen”, or “Yolanda Jensen”.

Google search returns some hits showing Ms. Almaguer was involved in “folklórico” dancing in San Antonio, Texas, but no indications she was in any movies.

Can anyone provide proof whether Ms. Almaguer was or was not in _The Alamo_ (1960)?

TIA!

Yolanda was my dancing teacher. She was in “The Alamo”. As a matter of fact she dated John Wayne’s son , Patrick. I to was suppose to be in the movie but was too young and couldn’t miss school. She was in the cantina scene

The cantina scene starts at 19:25 in the following video. Sonia6951, please pick out for us which of the people onscreen is Yolanda Almaguer. Incidentally, note that this video has embedded advertisements in it, so I’m going to presume that this copy of the movie is legally available on YouTube:
