Dolores del Rio

Dolores del Rio, (August 3, 1905 - April 11, 1983), was considered one of the most beautiful actresses of her time and the first Mexican movie star with international appeal and had a meteoric career in 1920s Hollywood (an extraordinary accomplishment for an Hispanic female on those years). She was a star in Hollywood films during the silent era and in the Golden Age of Hollywood.  Dolores del Rio became a prominent actress in Mexican films. Her career flourished until the end of the silent era, with success in films such as Resurrection (1927), Ramona (1928) and Evangeline (1929).

Ziegfeld Girl

Ziegfeld Girl, The Ziegfeld Follies were a series of elaborate theatrical productions on Broadway in New York City from 1907 through 1931. They became a radio program in 1932 and 1936 as The Ziegfeld Follies of the Air. Inspired by the Folies Bergères of Paris, the Ziegfeld Follies were conceived and mounted by Florenz Ziegfeld, reportedly at the suggestion of his then-wife, the entertainer Anna Held. The shows' producers were turn-of-the-twentieth-century producing titans Klaw & Erlanger. The Follies were lavish revues, something between later Broadway shows and a more elaborate high class Vaudeville variety show. The Ziegfeld Follies were also famous for many beautiful chorus girls commonly known as Ziegfeld girls, usually wearing elaborate costumes by designers.
