Lupe Velez

Lupe Velez

Lupe was in 43 films from 1927 to 1944, the year she committed suicide. Her Hollywood career can be considered the most successful of all Mexican stars of that age. Her most memorable films are those from the "Mexican Spitfire" series of late 30's. On another hand, her love life was a disaster: she never recovered from her failed romance with Gary Cooper, who never wanted to marry her. She was married to Johnny Weissmuller, but they divorced after five years. Drugs and alcohol destroyed her life at 34. When she committed suicide she was pregnant by young actor Harald Maresch.

Well, since you left your comment on the Lupe post, I'll presume she rates high on your allure scale.
