Gala Dalí

Team Coco
About this episode

Lover and muse to multiple artists, Gala notoriously spit on people she didn’t like—or worse. Her marriage to the renowned artist Salvador Dalí was as surreal as his paintings, which he signed with both of their names even though she never held a brush.

Starring Laura Ramoso as Gala Dalí and José  Arroyo as Salvador Dalí

Also featuring Stephen K. Amos, Nigel Daly, Neve O’Brien, and Tavis Doucette
