Maria Felix’s priceless legacy
Tagged: Hollywood, latina, Mexico, stereotypesPosted on: July 17th, 2007“Screen legend Maria Felix indulged in jewelry and art, as a major auction of her belongings will show. But Felix was much more than wealth and glamour.
The golden age of Mexican cinema””from the 1930’s to 1950’s””was a platform for Mexican talent like Felix. She and other actors and actresses caught the attention of Hollywood, where Latino talent was often reduced to stereotypes and clichés.
Felix sneered at the limited Hollywood roles and offers. And perhaps she could – her work in Mexico was prolific and she was pursued by European directors. Felix was also very wealthy.”
