"Spirited away to Hollywood from Mexico City, Dolores del Río becomes an instant star, swept up into Tinseltown's glitzy inner circle, until, amidst her tumultuous personal life, she becomes box office poison amid growing prejudice before World War II, forcing her to decide what price she's willing to pay to achieve her dreams"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
1910, Mexico. The country's revolution spreads. Dolores, daughter of a wealthy banker, must flee her comfortable life in Durango or risk death. Her family settles in Mexico City; she marries Jaime del Río. At a party she meets an influential American director who recognizes in her a natural performer. He invites her to Hollywood, and practically overnight, the famous Miss del Río is born. Swept up in Tinseltown's glitzy inner circle, she takes her place among film royalty, but her personal life becomes increasingly complicated. When she's labeled box office poison amid growing prejudice before WWII, Dolores must decide what price she's willing to pay to achieve her dreams. -- adapted from jacket
