Dolores Del Rio - Third of 3 postings

We close our look at Dolores with a few more pieces of information. During her early years she was often referred to as the female Valentino. Marlene Dietrich thought Dolores "the most beautiful woman in Hollywood", and it was reported slept for 16 hours a day to maintain her beauty. That may have been more Hollywood PR than actual fact.

Even after her career was winding down, she remained involved in the the film community as Member of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 1957 and Berlin International Film Festival in 1962. Dolores made her last film, The Children of Sanchez, in 1978. In her last years she received accolades because of her work for orphaned children. She died in 1983.
