¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Lupe Vélez!
AKA María Guadalupe Villalobos Vélez.
Born July 18, 1908. Died December 14, 1944.
She was once one of the most famous Mexican actresses ever to perform in the United States. Today she is rarely heard of outside of film buff circles. Sic transit gloria!
She was also the star of the Mexican Spitfire series, the first movie series to feature a marriage between a Mexican woman and a white non-Mexican man. Said series is often described as a forerunner of such transcultural comedies as I Love Lucy.
