Maria Felix

María Félix (1914–2002), known as “La Doña,” was one of the most powerful and magnetic figures in the history of Latin American cinema. A symbol of strength, beauty, and independence, Félix rose to stardom during the Golden Age of Mexican film, captivating audiences with her commanding presence and fierce intelligence in classics such as Doña Bárbara (1943), Enamorada (1946), and Río Escondido (1948). Her collaborations with directors like Emilio Fernández and co-stars such as Pedro Armendáriz and Jorge Negrete defined an era of cinematic sophistication and national pride.
