Isn't that hat amazing? As soon as I saw this photo, I wanted to know more about this woman. I love her flirty, slightly bemused look, as if she's thinking "Well, well, who will the mystery man in the center be?"
The woman is Dolores Del Rio (1905-1983), a film star I was not previously familiar with. She was a Mexican film star who appeared in many silent films as well as films made during Hollywood’s Golden Age. She was the first Latin American film actress to have international success. She was also considered one of the most beautiful stars of her era.
It's amazing where you can find inspiration. This week's play, thanks to Google Translate, is in both Spanish and English. It turns out Miss Del Rio, like many beautiful film stars of her era, was a lot more interesting than the roles she often found herself playing, on screen and off. Week 27's play is LA MUJER MÁS BELLA DE HOLLYWOOD (The Most Beautiful Woman in Hollywood).
