Dolores Del Rio, a Mexican film actress who became a star in Hollywood during the silent era.
Born 3, August 1905 into one of the wealthiest families in Mexico, her regal social standing lent her a compelling elegance that made her stand out in Hollywood.
She made her fist film appearance in Joanna in 1925 and what an impact she made!
Orson Welles had a passionate affair with her and he was quoted as saying "She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen."

A truly beautiful, exotic creature.

I love this story of her. So I shall tell it.

In January 1926 Joan Crawford, Mary Astor, Janet Gaynor, Fay Wray and Dolores were honored by the Western Association of Motion Picture Advertisers at an industry ball for women they believed "have shown the most talent and promise of eventual stardom." When Dolores took to the stage, following the other WAMPAS "baby stars", a hush fell over the audience of 3,500. Fearing she had been rejected, Dolores turned to leave just as the stunned crowd broke into a wild, standing ovation for her that lasted 5 minutes. They were completely blown away by her beauty.

In 1934, Photoplay magazine named Dolres the second most beautiful woman in Hollywood. Garbo topped the list.

Here are stills from the film Bird of Paradise.

"So long as a woman has twinkles in her eyes, no man notices whether she has wrinkles under them." - Dolores Del Rio

Dolores always liked to reflect her Mexican roots in her style


Her traditional Mexican centre-parted hairdo was her trademark, until she married her second husband Cedric Gibbons who re-styled and homogenized her image


Alongside actress Rita Carewe

Dolores's wardrobe was built on two basic neautrals. "I belong to the French school of wearing black as the most elegant," she explained, "but white suits me best; it's good for my eyes and hair." Indeed off-camera she often dressed totally in white to set off her dark features, accented with her own diamond earrings or flowers from her garden.
