Dolores Del Rio – The Grand Beauty Of Classic Hollywood
But America would pull itself out of the economic hole in time, and Hollywood, in particular, would revive that classic glamour. There was one actress in, called Dolores del Rio, who would stun audiences with her appearance. The first female major Latin American crossover star in Hollywood, she had a body that was ‘curvaceous and inviting’, as put by the magazine Photoplay, and was known for her elegance as well as her beauty. During the 1930s, Del Rio became one of the prototypes of female beauty (not to mention many other special aspects of this unique woman), influencing Hollywood in her style.
