María de los Ángeles Félix Güereña ( (8 April 1914 – 8 April 2002) was a Mexican film actress. She was considered one of the most important female figures of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema. She was also considered one of the most beautiful film actresses of her time, and one of the greatest erotic myths of the Spanish-language cinema. Along with Pedro Armendáriz and Dolores del Río, she was one of the most successful figures of the Latin American cinema in the 1940s and 1950s. She was known as ''La Doña'', a name derived from her character in the film ''Doña Bárbara'' (1943), and ''María Bonita'', thanks to the anthem composed exclusively for her, as a wedding gift by her third husband, the Mexican composer Agustín Lara. She completed a film career that included 47 films made in Mexico, Spain, France, Italy and Argentina. ==Early life== Maria de los Angeles Felix Güereña born in Álamos, Sonora, México on 8 April 1914. She was the daughter of Bernardo Félix Flores, military officer and secretary of Hacienda, of Native American (Yaqui) decent. Her mother was Josefina Güereña Rosas, a Mexican of Basque ancestry. She had eleven siblings: Josefina, María de la Paz, Pablo, Bernardo, Miguel, Maria de las Mercedes, Fernando, Victoria Eugenia, Ricardo, Benjamin and Ana Maria del Sacramento. She spent her childhood in Álamos. The family lived with dignity, despite not being rich. During her childhood, she had a close relationship with her brother Pablo. Her mother separated the two siblings, thinking that they might be involved in an incestuous relationship.〔Documental María Félix – Director Arturo Pérez Velasco – Editorial Clio Enrique Krauze〕 For that reason, Pablo was sent to the Colegio Militar, in Mexico City. When María was a young girl, she enjoyed games for boys and despised the dolls and other toys and activities "for girls". She was also an accomplished horse rider. She never had a good relationship with her other sisters, partly because of their physical differences (all her sisters were blond by maternal inheritance), and also because of María's strong personality. Later, The Félix Family moved to Guadalajara. When María was a teenager, her beauty soon began to attract attention. She was crowned Queen of the Beauty at the University of Guadalajara. It was at this time that she met Enrique Álvarez Alatorre, a salesman for the cosmetics firm Max Factor. After a brief romance, the couple married in 1931. In 1935, María gives birth to her only child, Enrique ''Quique''. However, her marriage with Alvarez was unsuccessful and the couple divorced in 1937. After her divorce, María returned to Guadalajara with her family, where she was the subject of gossip and rumors due to her status as a divorceé. Because of this situation, María decided to move to Mexico City with her son. In Mexico, she worked as a receptionist in a plastic surgeon's office, and lived in a guest house. One day, the father of her son visited the child, and deliberately refused to give the boy back to his mother. Álvarez took the child to Guadalajara. Later retained with the help of Agustin Lara, her second husband. They planned an elaborate recovery that tricked the grandmother and took the child.〔Félix (1993), vol. 1, p. 74-75〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「María Félix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
