Comment: There needs to be significant coverage in reliable sources, rather than a set of film database entries. Those entries may be ok for verification, but we need significant coverage for notability. ChrysGalley (talk) 18:53, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

Career
Born in Mendoza as Lidia Gattari, Duncan developed a career in romantic song and bolero. A 1962 Europa Press archive photograph described her as an Argentine bolero singer.[1]
She was a regular performer on Argentine radio, including Radio El Mundo, Radio Splendid and Radio Belgrano. In the 1970s she hosted her own television programme, El barcito de Alicia (also cited as El rinconcito de Alicia), in which she sang while serving drinks.
Among the songs associated with Duncan are "Sola", "Mi tortura", "Nuestra historia" and "Sueño de París". "Sola", associated with arrangements by Argentino Galván, was described in the source article as one of her best-known songs in Argentina. She also performed at Maison Dorée with Chino Galindo.
Duncan also appeared in Argentine cinema. According to Cinenacional.com, she acted in ¡Al diablo con este cura! (1967), directed by Carlos Rinaldi;[2] When Men Discuss Women (1967), directed by Fernando Ayala and starring Jorge Salcedo, Jorge Barreiro, Libertad Leblanc, Luis Sandrini and Malvina Pastorino;[3] and Let Them Talk (Spanish: Digan lo que digan, 1968), directed by Mario Camus and starring Raphael, Serena Vergano, Ignacio Quirós, Susana Campos and Dario Vittori.[4][5]
In the 1980s she shared a venue in La Boca with the singer Lucy Miranda. In a 2011 interview, director Oscar Barney Finn recalled meeting writer Marco Denevi there, at Duncan's bar on Pedro de Mendoza street.[6]
