Before Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria, and Penelope Cruz, there was Lupe Velez―one of the first Latin-American stars to sweep past the xenophobia of old Hollywood and pave the way for future icons from around the world. Her career began in the silent era, when her beauty was enough to make it onto the silver screen, but with the rise of talkies, Velez could no longer hope to hide her Mexican accent. Yet Velez proved to be a talented dramatic and comedic actress (and singer) and was much more versatile than Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn, Gloria Swanson, and other legends of the time. Velez starred in such films as Hot Pepper (1933), Strictly Dynamite (1934), and Hollywood Party (1934), and her popularity peaked in the 1940s after she appeared as Carmelita Fuentes in eight Mexican Spitfire films, a series created to capitalize on Velez's reputed fiery personality. The media emphasized the "Mexican Spitfire" persona, and by many accounts, Velez's private life was as colorful as the characters she portrayed on-screen. Fan magazines mythologized her mysterious childhood in Mexico, while mainstream publications obsessed over the drama of her romances with Gary Cooper, Erich Maria Remarque, and John Gilbert, along with her stormy marriage to Johnny Weissmuller. In 1944, a pregnant and unmarried Velez died of an intentional drug overdose. Her tumultuous life and the circumstances surrounding her early death have been the subject of speculation and controversy. In Strictly Dynamite: The Sensational Life of Lupe Velez (UP of Kentucky, 2023), author Eve Golden uses extensive research to separate fact from fiction and offer a thorough and riveting examination of the real woman beneath the gossip columns' caricature. Through astute analysis of the actress's filmography and interviews, Golden illuminates the path Velez blazed through Hollywood. Her success was unexpected and extraordinary at a time when a distinctive accent was an obstacle, and yet very few books have focused entirely on Velez's life and career. Written with evenhandedness, humor, and empathy, this biography finally gives the remarkable Mexican actress the unique and nuanced portrait she deserves. Learn more about your ad choices.

We're back with another installment of our Women in Hollywood  series.  In this episode we talk about Mexican actress Lupe Velez and American Film Studio Executive/Producer Dawn Steel! Listen to us share what we have learned about these amazing trailblazing women!

For the viewer who has grown accustomed to Douglas Fairbank's and his similar "themes," films dealing with swashbuckling or youth or joy, The Gaucho is a silent film classic that will strip away any misconceptions about what role Fairbanks will play or which type of character is best identified toward his bustling career. The Gaucho is unique in both tone and look--a combination of action/adventure with a morality tale featuring heavy atmosphere and a darker sensibility than any other Fairbanks film. Tragic yet somehow more rugged and realistic, the film and its cast, featuring Lupe Velez as the spunky Mountain Girl and Joan Barclay as the Girl of the Shrine, show the truths we hide and seek thrill from in a tale told so profoundly it can be enjoyed no matter which year it's been watched. Ready to watch more in the classic realm? Bob's films included Father Goose featuring Cary Grant, Yankee Doodle Dandy with James Cagney, and How to Steal a Million with Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. Interested in something of the modern time? Lily's recent work on Luna, The Witch can be seen on Amazon Prime or Angelwood Pictures at https://www.angelwoodpictures.com/lunathewitch/index.php?LunaPage=3 Hosted by YiFeng, Bob and Lily.

Hablar o nombrar a la primera diva latinoamericana en Hollywood es muy sencillo de decir: LUPE VELEZ! Una gran diva del cine mudo primero y después del cine sonoro,”LA MUJER QUE ESCUPIA FUEGO” ,una irreverente,una mujer muy adelantada a su época,no se dejaba de nadie,un carácter incontrolable y muy deseada por los hombres. Mas sin embargo ella decía con quien estar y los controlaba como a Gary Cooper y Johnny Weissmuller. Polemica,controvertida,no soportaba a Dolores del Rio ,ni Dolores del Rio a ella. Las dos grandes divas que existían ya en ese momento en Hollywood. Trataremos su infancia,adolescencia,su vida en Hollywood y su viaje a Mexico para filmar LA ZANDUNGA y terminar de consagrarse también en nuestro país. Sus hombres y su trágico suicidio

EPISODE 138: STORIES FOR QUARANTINE Under house arrest during an epidemic, authors T. Fox Dunham & Phil Thomas persevere in their quixotic campaign to share darkness with the world. Our mission is to entertain and distract our audience from the real horror with the entertaining horror of ghost stories, writing, fiction and the paranormal. On episode 138, Philly and Foxy chat about life in America during a modern plague, and Fox talks about a recent sighting of the cryptid creature, The Mothman. This flying humanoid with bright red eyes was first spotted in Point Pleasant, West Virginia days before the tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge in December 1967, and since then the cryptic cryptid has been spotted multiple times by perplexed witnesses--recently by a security guard at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. Also, English folksinger David Walton narrates a ghost story from the haunted Whaley House. And Fox interviews author Edgar Swamp about his writing and his book, Amber Hollow. Oh, and the clowns are back in new Clown News. Even during an epidemic, the painted ones cause trouble in a Mexican town. Stay safe. And keep it spooky!
