Dolores del Rio, 1929 Dolores del Rio, 1920s
"Take care of your inner beauty, your spiritual beauty, and that will reflect
in your face. We have the face we created over the years. Every bad deed,
every bad fault will show on your face. God can give us beauty and genes
can give us our features, but whether that beauty remains or changes is
determined by our thoughts and deeds."
Dolores del Rio

"When I returned to Mexico, I joined with people eager to create the Mexican cinema.
We were full of dreams and had no money whatsoever, but we were able to achieve
something and open markets for our films all over the world."

"Del Río represented the highest erotic ideal with her
performance in the film Bird of Paradise."
Orson Welles
Throughout the filming of Citizen Kane, 1941, del Río was often at the difficult Welles’ side,
soothing him when he banged his head against the wall and dealing with his insomnia as
he abused Dexedrine. They acted together in the movie Journey into Fear, 1943

Directors: Norman Foster, Orson Welles (uncredited)
On Journey Into Fear, 1943 "Orson insisted I play this role. He said he was unable to see
anyone else in it, and after reading the part I became equally enthusiastic. I wear no
glamorous gowns in the film. My main costume is a battered raincoat."

"The secret of youth is work, keep busy, and never be bored.
Boredom is the only thing that ages you."

George Hoyningen-Huenem, Dolores del Río, 1940
"Personally, I buy only what suits me. In the daytime I dress very simply, but
after 7 p.m. I dress dramatically. I usually wear a tiny nose veil on a cocktail hat.
Men love it, and it seems to suit my face and personality."
"Hollywood, what a place it is! It is so far away from the rest of the world, so narrow.
No one thinks of anything but motion pictures or talks of anything else."
