We celebrate Maria Félix, also known as La Doña, this Latinx Heritage Month. She was a groundbreaking Mexican actress who stayed true to herself by never learning English or accepting work in Hollywood. She defied stereotypes and set a standard for Latina actresses to come.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #mariafélix #latinxheritagemonth #actress #latinasinhistory #mexico #mexicana #latinamericancinema
