Mexican Dancer
and Actress who was a star of Hollywood films during the

an important actress in Mexican cinema later in her life.

first Latin American movie star to have an international
appeal.
In her childhood
she had shown a great passion for dancing and strived to
be as good as Russian ballerina Anna
Pavlova. del Río made her film debut in Joanna
in 1925 and Her career flourished until the end of the silent
era but because of her Latin accent she would not talk much
in the early Talkies.
