She had a sober and proud beauty that exempted celluloid heroines from the burdens of ambitious scenarios. She satisfied masses of fans, who transformed her into a goddess rivaling Garbo and Dietrich. But it was her life - both private and public - that comprised the best melodrama. Destiny is a fine screenwriter. Félix excelled in creating an image of the doña, both forceful and rebellious, and as indestructible as the jewels she displayed on her feminine body, where a man's heart would beat.
