Dolores del Rio in a shot from the trailer of Madame Du Barry (1934).
This is a complete filmography of Dolores del Río. Del Río began her career in 1925, when she abandoned her native Mexico to start a career as an exotic beauty in the 1920s Hollywood. At that time she came to be regarded as a female version of Rudolph Valentino.Her career flourished until the end of the silent era, with successful films such as Resurrection (1927), Ramona (1928) and Evangeline (1929). With the arrival of the talkies in the early 30's, Del Río's exotic image undergoes a radical change to become in one of the most glamorous Art Decó symbols of her age. She scored successes with Bird of Paradise (1932), Flying Down to Rio (1933), Madame Du Barry, Wonder Bar (1934) and Journey into Fear (1942). But in the late 30's, Del Río's career suffer a decline, and she was marked as one of the "box office poisons".
Under these circumstances, Del Río returned to México. Under the guidance of Emilio Fernández, and at the age of 37, Del Río became the most important star of the Golden age of Mexican cinema and in time became powerful in Hollywood. Her Mexican films gave Dolores reputation as an extraordinary actress; her masterpiece is the legendary film Maria Candelaria (1943). Her last performance was in The Children of Sanchez in 1978.
Dolores del Río was considered one of the Great Divas of the America and Latin America cinema, a mythic figure of Mexico and representation, by excellence, of Mexican female beauty.
