| Dolores Del Rio, the first internationally renowned Mexican film actress, is profiled in this Spanish-language documentary. Born into a wealthy family that lost everything in the Mexican revolution, Dolores married into money and moved to Hollywood, where she made her first film in 1925. She became more and more famous during the silent era, with her career seemingly over with the arrival of sound. A high-profile affair with Orson Welles made her visible again. In 1943, FLOR SILVESTRE, her first Spanish-language film, made her a huge star once again. |
