She was also considered one of the most beautiful film actresses of her time, and one of the greatest erotic myths of Spanish-language cinema. Along withPedro Armendáriz and Dolores del Río, she is one of the most important figures of Latin American cinema of the 1940s and 1950s. She is known by the nickname La Doña a name derived from her character in the film Doña Bárbara (1943).
