Classic Beauty: Dolores Del Rio

I think I first saw Dolores Del Rio in the Astaire/Rogers pic Flying Down To Rio, but even though she only had a small part, I was captivated — and I have no idea why it’s taken me so long to feature her on these pages.

Pretty as a young starlet, she blossomed into an astonishing beauty, and remained so until her death in 1983.  Follow the link above to get her full story — it’s quite a ride.
