READING 2
Dolores del Rio was a Mexican actress of
rare beauty who starred in more than 30
films in Hollywood and dozens in Mexico.
She died of natural causes at her home in
Newport Beach, Calif., at the age of 77. As
a teenager, Del Rio caught the eye of a
Hollywood director and shocked her upper-
class family by leaving Mexico City to
appear in his films. Her exquisite,
expressive face won her many fans with such
silent movies as “What Price Glory” and
“Ramona”, and she gracefully made the
transition to talking pictures. But she
became typecast, playing too many Indian
Maidens, peasant girls and Latin “femmes
fatales”. “When producers give you
beautiful clothes to wear in pictures, they
also give you dumb parts”, Del Río
complained in 1942. A year later she left
Hollywood for Mexico where she eventually
won four Ariels, the Mexican Oscars.
