María Félix

María Félix, ‘La Doña,’ owes her nickname to her role in Doña Bárbara (1943) and was one of the biggest stars of Spanish-language film. Dolores del Río first triumphed in Hollywood and later in Mexico, with classics like María Candelaria (1943), directed by Emilio ‘el Indio’ Fernández. Don’t confuse them with Sara García, Mexican cinema’s famous ‘grandmother.’
