ASU to stage Mexican masterpiece

“Del Rio had a so-so American film career but Felix never successfully crossed the border between industries. In America, her films were shown primarily in Spanish-language theaters in states with large Hispanic populations.

In Mexico, however, the actresses have had a lasting impact. Their biggest hits are still revived in Mexico City cinemas and they have been the subjects of numerous documentaries, television specials, books and plays. The most important of the latter is Carlos Fuentes’ Orchids in the Moonlight, in which they revisit their starring roles in a search for their true identities. The 1981 work received the Mexican National Award for Literature, the equivalent of America’s Pulitzer Prize.”
